I'm getting married!

So it actually happened about a month ago, but I haven't had time to write it up on here.

 We've been together for a year and four months on Wednesday. We are so perfect together. He is so sweet and caring. He's handsome, he makes me smile and laugh, and I love him so much.

We have been talking a while about getting married. He had a ring that belonged to his great grandmother. It had some wear and some damage that he had to fixed, but it is so beautiful. He got it fixed back in March and April, so I've just been waiting for when it would happen.

On June 20, it did! We went to see Toy Story 3 with his grandparents and his mom. Afterward he drove me to my car and we were talking. I started to get out of the car, and he said "wait, close your eyes." I asked him why and he said that he bought me something that day. Then he handed me a box, I opened it, and the ring was inside. He asked if I would marry him and I said yes, of course.

He kept trying to figure when, where, and how to ask me, but he just couldn't wait any longer. I'm glad he didn't. It was perfectly for us. We're not really the plan it out, do something fancy kind of people. It was nice.

Afterward, we went to get a snow cone, and of course we texted all the people that needed to know first. It was a perfect night.

The ring was a little tight, especially with the summer heat, so we took it yesterday to get resized. The jeweler is making it a half a size bigger and I should have it back next Saturday. I can't wait to get it back and be able to wear it comfortably.

Right now we are looking at September 24, 2011 as our wedding date. It seems so far away, but we need the time to figure out job situations and all of that stuff. Plus, it will probably take me that long to make all of the decisions.

As for now, we are enjoying being engaged and discussing the wedding details. I'm sure I will be posting details here, so stay tuned for all of the wedding happenings.

Two awesome shows

On Thursday, we went to see Beauty and the Beast at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas.

This was the first time that I have been to the AT&T Center. It really is gorgeous. There is a patio balcony on the 5th floor that looks out over the Arts District.

Beauty and the Beast is one of my all time favorite movies. I have never seen the musical though. It was AMAZING! The set was beautiful, and the cast was incredible! I couldn't believe some of the dance numbers. During the song Gaston, where they are singing at the Tavern, the cast performed a dance using metal beer steins. They would clink them together like they were clapping, reach under the leg and clank the next person's stein. It was really cool. The Be Our Guest number was awesome too. The costumes for all of the dishes were very well done, and the dancing was awesome, including a can-can line.


I was a little concerned about how they would do the part where Beast becomes the prince again, but they actually pulled it off very well. I loved this musical. It was so much fun to see. I would definitely recommend it to everyone, especially fans of the movie.

On Friday night, we went to see Weird Al Yankovic perform at Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie.

He was hilarious. I don't know very many of his songs, but I went anyways. I am glad I did. It really was a good show. He had so many costume changes it was crazy. While he was changing costumes, they had videos playing clips from the movie he made, his name mentioned in different tv shows, and some of his music videos.

Both of these shows were awesome. A great ending to my week.
