Hobbies
I love to spend money I don't have ha ha. Shopping, texing. I need to learn how to call a person again. Supporting my man in MMA fighting.
About Me
I have lived in Marysville, WA basically my whole life. My family is all still close by. My best friend is my sister n law. I had my son almost 10yrs ago in May. I am no longer with his father, that was a stepping stone and learning experience for sure. I met my fiance almost 4 yrs ago. I knew of him many years before that. He was a bouncer at a club in town and we would always stare at him and talk about him. He has the hugest happiest smile. With endless dimples. He kind of looks like Slater from Saved by the bell. I will have a step daughter who is almost 5, going on 15.
Rants
There are so many things to choose from and how to pick the best one and than stick with it. So many ideas

About Me
I do not believe in the man putting a dollar amount on me. I love what I do now because i can only say how much I am worth. I get to do all day what I love. I love dogs and other animals, thou we do not have any. My mom makes up for what we do not have.
I met chris or knew of him from years ago working at a local bar as a bouncer. He was gorgeous. Out of my league I always thought. Never figured he would look my way. I was in a relationship at that time. Years later as me and my now X had a fight me and my friend kelly went to the bar, at the same time so was Chris. Kelly and Chris knew of each other from when he was working their. They chatted and he ended up sitting at the table wih us and hanging out all night. I talked to him a little and he was very nice. My other girlfriend Meghan was meeting us and I was giving him a bad time about hooking up with her. He just ignored me. We all had a great time and went our own was that night.A few days later for my sister n laws bday we went to the bar again and chris was there.He knew my girlfriends and ended up hanging out with us again. I some how got his number. the next day I went to save it and called him on accident. he called me back and we ended up talking for awhile. He than came and visited me at the espresso stand. We made dinner plans. The rest is basically history. Just kept on talking and hanging out and never seperated. We have had alot of history already. Hasn't been the easiest but not the hardest either. Just makes us stronger in the end
The Ring
We picked out our ring at Fred Meyer Jewelars in Marysville. We have than gone back to them because of the great service each time we get. Chris picked out a Marquisse cut ring. I love it. Its more original to me than alot of the ones I see.
Our Wedding Plans
We are having the wedding and reception all at he same location.
A friend from he bank has her own business as a wedding planner also and is helping me out so much. I don't know what I would do with out her. We have 6 brides maids and grooms men My son and chris's daughter are also both in the wedding. We are having a keg and wine and not sure on the food yet. Have some ideas but we will see how they go. Our budget is only $3000. my parents are helping in what they can and I'm sure his mom will help also. I want to have fun and hope everyone comes and its just big celebration.
Our Planning Experience
WORK WORK WORK.my gosh my brain is on over load. there are so many things to do and we haven't even got them all down, not even close. I want to have square containers and grow grass out of them for the center pieces. this might be harder than i think. i want damask runners and it might be a cost that I don't need. I was told that the tables are not that important. food, venue, photographer. These are the big things to worry about
Our Advice
Talk to people about getting married. You will meet so many people that may be able to help or cut costs
