Wow--been a while since I've posted!!! Since my last update, I've graduated college, have been offered (and accepted) a full time mental health professional position at the local hospital, and applied to a handful of PhD programs!! I've been quite busy and productive, and am so excited about all these changes and accomplishments!!
Perhaps, however, the biggest and most recent change is currently the most exciting...As everyone knows from my older posts, I'm currently engaged to the most amazing man on the planet (seriously...THE most amaznig) and am currently in the planning stages of our wedding! He makes my dreams come true every single day, and I couldn't thank him enough for that. He believes in me, loves me, and makes me feel like a princess. This "granted wish" however, takes the cake..
As some of you know, my "official" proposal from Dan came when we took our first vacation together at Walt Disney World (the unofficial one (lol) came before that because he couldn't wait any longer <3, but the real, down on one knee, tears in his eyes, sobbing done by me happened there) during my favorite fireworks show "Wishes." As we've been planning the wedding, I've been telling Dan I want to have aspects of Disney there, not only because of the proposal, but because, hands down, without a doubt, it is my favorite place on this whole entire Earth, and the place where so many of my favorite memories with both my family and Dan have happened.
Last night, while looking for ideas for favors, I threw a personalized Cinderella themed candle holder idea off Dan. "Yeah...it's alright, but there's other ways to fit Cinderella into the wedding..." Confused, I asked him to clarify. He asked me to get up from my computer, and go get a drink. Again, confused, I asked him to clarify. "Just do it Jess." Since he used Jess, and not honey or love, I knew he meant business...
As I returned to the office from the kitchen, he promptly asked me to close my eyes. I did, handing him his drink and setting mine down carefully, before he guided me over to my chair. I opened my eyes, and on the screen I saw the website for Disney's Enchanted Weddings, a site I've looked at constantly for years. "I've seen this before babe...hundreds of times," I told Dan as he smiled at me. "We could NEVER afford this."
"Whatever you say!" he replied as he went to sit at his desk. "Make sure you keep August 25th open-I know Cinderella marked it down already."
I called him a jerk, among other things, for teasing me like that, until he began to tell me more confirmation information. "They just need you to call on Monday to tell them details."
I sobbed.
And sobbed.
And sobbed some more.
My BIGGEST dream that I've had since I was a little girl is coming true!! I'm marrying my Prince Charming at the most magical and happiest place on Earth!
BUT...it gets better. Our families are helping to get 10 of our closest friends there as well! We're investigating costs now (plane vs. driving, etc.) and I'm so excited to tell them once we know! Knowing that I'm marrying the man of my dreams, and having my bridesmaids and closest friends there is absolutely amazing!
I can't believe this is happening, even as I type it now...it still hasn't set it! AH!! All I can tell you is, I AM SO EXCITED!
"A dream is a wish your heart makes"-- Cinderella <3
