Tony's Disneyland Birthday

While I was in California, Tony visited me for his birthday weekend. We had a blast together at Disneyland on his birthday. He got the royal treatment with a free ticket into the park and a birthday button. I'm not sure he's ever had so many people wish him a happy birthday in one day. Here are some of my favorite highlights from the day:

Riding the tram to Disneyland. The weather was a little cool and felt perfect for being June 1st!



At the front of Main Street USA



See how there is no one else on our roller coaster car? The park was pretty vacant when we got there in the morning. We were able to do the best rides without lines!



Tony's birthday lunch at the Blue Bayou. We sat right by the water of the Pirates of the Carribean ride. Lunch was delicious and such a wonderful memory :)



Riding Autopia!




In front of Sleeping Beauty's castle.

Best birthday party ever! Well, so far.. :)

We're Engaged!

Welcome to the blog! As one might guess, seeing as I am creating this blog for the two of us, we are engaged! It all happened over the 4th of July weekend when I went to Portland to visit Tony. That Friday night, Tony took us on a date in downtown Portland. I was hoping that he might pop the question in the near future, but due to some comments he had made earlier in the day and his lack of nervousness, I figured I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Tony.. not being nervous :)

We had a lovely dinner at the Portland City Grill. The food was delicious and the view was gorgeous! We were seated right next to the window that overlooked downtown. It was very romantic and in between dinner and dessert, Tony got down on one knee, pulled a beautiful diamond ring from his pocket and proposed! I couldn't breathe! I was smiling and gasping for air. I was just so excited and elated that I was going to be his wife!! I've never had such a rush of happy emotion come over me in that way. It felt surreal now that I look back on it.

So, now we are in the midst of planning a wedding. We've chosen our date to be March 20, 2010 in Portland. I am moving to Portland at the end of this month and Tony is currently in Pullman, Washington. There are lots of fun adventures awaiting us in the near future! Life is good :)
