Guess What?

We apologize for the lack of posts in the past month or so, things have been a little crazy. First we had two children's birthdays to celebrate, and then we were sick the following weekend, and the weekend after that something awesome happened.

On February 18th, we had made the trek up to Tehachapi to visit with friends and to see our friends perform "The Sunshine Boys." It was such a great day, first with sushi at one of our favorite sushi spots, then gaming with our best geek pals at Just Games, followed by wine tasting at Souza Vineyard. With an hour or so to kill before the show began, we took advantage of our friendship with those at the Beekay Theatre and decided to hang out with the cast before the show began. It was their final show so there was a celebration among the cast. TJ decided to take advantage of this by calling out for everyone's attention. Then he began to talk about how much he loved everyone, how they are family, and how he wanted to do this in front of them. Then a spotlight was put on us, and I think I said out loud, "Oh crap, he's going to do this." Next thing I know, TJ's on bended knee with tears in his eyes, and his grandmother's ring in his hand. He asked me to marry him. I tearfully said yes.

After the celebration I was asked if I knew that he was going to propose, my answer is, I didn't know when, nor where it would happen, but we've been talking marriage for quite some time now. I really don't understand people who are completely blindsided by a proposal, don't people talk about their future together and such? Anyways, since we've had a date in mind for some time, we decided to quickly move forward with the wedding planning, which is what we've been doing the past two weekends. 

There is so much that goes into wedding planning, and if it wasn't for our wedding planner, my good friend Valinda, I don't know how we'd do this! I apologize if this blog takes a detour from nerdy science experiments for a bit, but there will be nerdy stuff on here. It just might be nerdy wedding stuff.

Coming soon! The wedding of Nicole and TJ!
