Anthony's Birthday...Wedding Planning...Valentine's Day

I realized it has been a really long time since I have taken the time to blog about our life and what has been going on lately. So here is what we've been up to for the last month....

Anthony turned 31 on February 3rd. We had a house party on January 31st with our friends to celebrate. It was a lot of fun! We borrowed Daniel's beer pong table so that the boys could play beer pong outside and had the playstation set up inside so that they could also play Mortal Kombat. Overall, we had a lot of fun and I was really glad Anthony was able to spend time with friends. Here are a few pictures from that night.






On Anthony's actual birthday, he and I took off from work and went to Animal Kingdom for the day to enjoy the free entry Disney is offering. It was a lot of fun! We really enjoyed the new roller coaster Expedition Everest! We didn't take many pictures that day, but I have a couple.



Wedding plans are coming along very slowly. We haven't made any final decisions really at all. But I have my wedding party picked out, so I feel like I have made at least one step towards the big day. Tomorrow a few of us are going to David's Bridal to try on dresses for Jessica's wedding and then hopefully they can try on a few for mine too. I'm mostly just excited to see my girlfriends and try on a couple pretty dresses!

Valentine's day was really nice this year. Neither of us spent a whole lot of money, but we were able to spend the day together. We went to the movie theater yesterday, which we hardly ever do, and saw Push. It was interesting and a nice date. I'm making Anthony a special dinner tomorrow for Valentine's day with lobster, twice baked potatoes, and strawberry cheesecake. I'm looking forward to it!!

The Magic Kingdom...Where Dreams Come True

Anthony and I went to Orlando last weekend to celebrate our one year anniversary. Friday night we had our celebratory dinner at Fulton's Crab House in downtown Disney. It was delicious!!! We also spent some time walking around and window shopping.


Saturday he and I went to the Magic Kingdom for the day. We had a very full day beginning at 9:00am. The rides were fantastic because the lines were not long at all. We spent the entire day riding rides and checking out the shops. We even saw Stitch while we were walking around!




That night he and I were very excited at how beautifully the castle was decorated. It would randomly change colors and the lights were so gorgeous! We decided to stay for the Spectro Magic light parade. While we were watching the parade, Anthony told me how much he loved me. He told me how much he really did want to spend the rest of his life with me and asked me if I knew that he really did want to be with me forever. When I said, "yes of course I know that," he said, "then let's take the next step," and there was my engagement ring. It was so beautiful! The lights were so beautiful and the castle made it just like a fairytale! I'm still a little shocked that we're engaged, but I couldn't be any happier!
