Gettin Hitched!

Well it's official.... I'm 'legally' a married woman!! We have set our wedding date for August 22, 2009 for our family and friends, but when you are in love with your best friend and you're just going to get married in 6 months anyway might as well reap the military benefits til then right? So we strolled on down to the Virginia Beach Municpal Center and got hitched! I'm wondering if we are the first couple to make the magistrate crack up laughing during his speech? I mean we couldn't help but giggle through the entire process, I mean come on... we are best friends and the thought of being stuck with each other til our bodies rust and fall apart like a beat up run down pinto... it's amusing! I plan on talking shit to him the entire way but that's the best part about marriage right? ok well maybe not, but at least we 'like' each other... don't we?

The Proposal

So I made the first 'big' step in our relationship and moved up to VA to be closer to Zack. I've been living here since Thanksgiving and can't say I'm a huge fan of the area but I'm def. a fan of getting out of Cheraw...small towns are nice but after a while it tends to make you pull your hair out! We've had our first christmas together which was great and things apparently have turned into a serious consideration of the future. We have been talking about marriage for a little while and we both feel the same way about the idea. We both went out to eat to spend some time together since both of us work all the time. For the past week he has been telling me how scared he was about us and about losing me when he went on deployment and I to basic training and AIT. To my surprise, when we got home we proceded to sit down and talk about everything and he confessed his love for me and pulled out a black box with a gorgeous engagement ring inside and asked me to be his ol' lady! Typical of him but definitely a moment I will never forget for the rest of my life!
