Make a Wish

Another task has been completed!  I made a wish on 11/11/11 @ 11:11PM now I just have to wait to see if it comes true!

Attend trivia night

Some of my friends and I attended Trivia Night at Plaza Azteca for a few weeks a couple months back.  We came in first a handful of times, winning gift certificates to the restaurant as well as other prizes such as beer glasses, bottle openers and fancy visors which can be seen modeled by Lauren & Danielle in the picture.

We had a good time - enjoying each others company, sports games that were playing at the time and answering quizo trivia.

A place to call our own!

For the past two and a half months Jared and I have been living in a cute in-law apartment in Windham.  It's a great place to start off together as we save money for our wedding.  We still have to do some decorating but for the most part we are settled into our new home.  Bella seems to like it too!

Tie a note to a balloon and let it go.

Cirque du Soleil

For Christmas Jared bought us Cirque du Soleil tickets.  I got us tickets to see Jersey Boys.  The two events ended up being Thursday and Friday of the same week.  We didn't plan for it to be this way but it worked out great.  Thursday we went to see Jersey Boys which was excellent aside from the scary balcony seats. We stayed the night in Boston and had breakfast at the hotel the following morning.  We had lots of time before Cirque du Soleil and ended up walking from our hotel to Newbury St.  We spent most of the morning and afternoon shopping, walking through the Commons and grabbing a bite to eat.

Cirque du Soleil was amazing!  It was incredible to watch the things they were able to do.  We loved it so much we are hoping to see the show that will be put to all of Michael Jackson's songs.

Picture with Santa

On the first Saturday of December the plaza my best friend works at held an event called Shopping in a Winter Wonderland. The different stores had discounts on items, activities and Santa came for a visit. I got to be Santa and Mrs Claus' personal photographer. For people that wanted their picture taken with Santa I asked for a donation. During the few hours I was able to donate $60 to the Shepard's pantry in Windham.

I was also able to get my picture taken with Santa.

Another task done. Many more to go!

Hot air balloon ride

In the last post I had said that my boyfriend Jared and I were planning on going on a hot air balloon ride.  We unfortunately were unable to go due to strong winds.  And he no longer is my boyfriend.  He's my FIANCE!!!!  Jared had planned to ask me to marry him at the picnic that would have followed the hot air balloon ride.  He was afraid that our rescheduled date would have been cancelled too.  Which ended up happening.

A few days before he had asked my mom for my hand in marriage, which was so sweet of him.  When I called her to let her know the flight had been cancelled she frantically called Jared once we hung up asking what he was going to do now!?!?

So we went out to see the movie "Life as we know it."  It ended up being a good movie.  As we were walking to the car he had said how beautiful of a night it was.  Once we got in the car he asked to see my hands and I jokingly said to him that he only needed one hand.  I let him hold my left hand and I looked out the window.  At the same time he was moving around a lot trying to get something out of his pocket.  He said a lot of sweet things...and asked me to marry him.  Of course I said yes after I said are you kidding me?? over and over with tears falling from my eyes.

Even though we were unable to go on a beautiful hot air balloon ride --It was still a perfect day.  Someday we will go when the weather cooperates.  We are planning on getting married in October 2012!
