Blonde to Bridezilla?

As of this posting, we have a very tentative wedding date of August 14. Of course, it's all up in the air, depending on both of our job and living situations.

I moved back with my parents temporarily-permanently. I had quit my job in OC, and left the apartment. Not going into details right now. So, I have started a minor job hunt; nothing too exciting, since we might be moving in two months.

As you can guess, planning this thing has been a problem. I finally got a date out of him, and we had kinda agreed to a package we found online that we liked, albeit on the expensive side. Now, who the hell knows. I have friends and family who want to go, and need to make the proper arrangements. At the very least we are registered here and here.

Gone, but never forgotten

This blog has and will be dedicated to the memory of Stephanie Grav, who passed away back in May. I haven't blogged since her passing, because I had wanted a serious post about our friendship, and putting feelings to the keyboard isn't particularly easy.

Steph and I had our ups and downs, like most friends do. We were roommates, partners in crime (literally) and keepers of special bonds and secrets. 

I miss her like crazy. She was the one I could confide in the most, and she was never judgmental, no matter what boneheaded things I had done.

I am the person I am now due largely to her.

Thanks sweetie.

It's a sign!!!!!!!!

The Monte Carlo; the hotel that John wanted to stay at for our wedding/honeymoon (Yes we have discussed this.) is ridiculously cheap on Expedia. The Monaco Suites are only $106 a night!!!!!

It's a sign I tell you!

I'll have more junk as the days go by. I discovered the exercise room has wifi!!!!

*evil snark.*

I'm not even supposed to be here today....

Still on the hunt for the bigger and better.

Looking for a place that John and I will both like is beyond frustrating. we found a great place in Irvine; the rent is on the high side, but the features, and the ammenities outweigh the high rent, and the boonie location (I swear it's out in the middle of nowhere)

Work has been good, it was crazy slow last week. I hope it picks up soon. I kinda need the money to live.

other than that, I guess no news is good news, right?

later haters

I find your lack of internet disturbing...

So, I've been in Orange County for almost two months. (Holy crap!) And this is my first post here. I guess I should update on what's up. I love my job I have great co-workers, and am making friends here. I'm trying to see my old friends here as much as I can, but my late schedule complicates things. oh and having a friend in the hospital with a stroke,

One of my god friends ad my dinneyland buddy had a stroke, and  was initialially mis-diagnosed. She's now in LA and doing much beter$  

I'm living with a co-worker, and is been cool, except for not having TV or internet (thus the title today)

John and I spend plenty of quality time together. We'll meet up in Moreno Valley, or when I have three days off work, I'll make my way out to the desert, and see him. We're talking marriage, and soon I hope. It will be in Vegas, and seriously, I cannot wait. think John has helped erase the bitterness of my first marriage,

Parents and Roommates

I start my new job tomorrow. (Insert freak-out here) and up until recently the living situation was a little up in the air. The first roommate had also promised the room to another friend who was going to be truly homeless. So I understand that situation, but it still sucks.

So last night, with the loving nudge of my boyfriend I texted everyone in my contacts, and I was VERY fortunate to have a place for the month, and then a few minutes ago, as I was typing this, another friend texted me back, with a room to rent.

See, none of this would happen if it wasn't for my loving boyfriend. Actually, it was his suggestion to move to Orange County. I did apply for this job, after months of rejection from the desert. It was all so shocking....but enough of this crap.

Sunday was the last Sunday I am going to John's congregation down in La Quinta.  After the service, we went to his parent's house.

I love his mother to death. She's crazy, and loud...a lot like me. Anyways, we had lunch, talked, hung out, and I fell in love with his family His dad is like my uncles. Y'know, the opinionated, borderline racist conspiracy theorist type person. (makes those family dinners just so much more interesting.)

Apparently his family liked me. They fixed my headlights and tires. So very sweet! I was crying as I left their house Sunday night. John didn't believe me, but it's true.

It's strange that these last three months have gone on like this. It's been a crazy whirlwind romance, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Ch-Ch-Changes

Wow, I have so much to update you guys on.

First of all, I suck at writing trip reports right away, and the same is true for chronicling my adventures. So my good readers, I present you the update post.

I'm dating a wonderful guy named John (I'll explain our story later, it's a funny,but long story)

I have decided to move to Orange County....again. (third time's the charm, right?)

I will not be working at Disneyland

I do have a job lined up

I do not have a place to live yet

I think that's it for now.
