Hello All...I thought it was about time i started my own PJ after being so absorbed in everyone else's 
. These forums are amazing and such a huge help...I can't wait to connect with everyone!
A little about us...
Justin and I met at work almost 3 years ago. Maybe met is a strong word We both were hired at a major aerospace company as Technical Design Engineers straight out of College, He moved all the way to Seattle from Texas and I relocated to Seattle all the way from Florida. Prior to being placed into our groups we went through a month long training course to get us ready. Justin was nearing the end of his month as I was just beginning mine. As the days went on I would notice this cutie peeking in and passing my training room often. One day we passed each other in the hallway, he flashed a smile and said hi, I definitely took notice but there was no way I would act on it since we worked at the same place, we could end up being in the same group! I continued to see him around for the next week or so until he was placed into his group. I wasnt expecting to run into him any time soon since i had been placed on a completely different program. Besides I had enough on my plate getting acquainted with the new job, new city and new place. Months later there was an Engineering Orientation, SURPRISE....guess who was sitting at the table right next to me? The last thing on my mind was meeting someone, its really funny how things turn out ...To make a long story short, he asked for my number, we clicked instantly and the rest is history...
The proposal...
April 16th, 2010...As usual the weather in Seattle was not cooperative...He had been trying to convince me to go to the San Juan Islands for a weekend trip, I continued to be my practical self and tell him we would be stuck inside the whole time due to the weather and we should save our trip for the sun...I guess he had been planning the proposal for months, apparently he had asked my son and mother for my hand behind my back and was waiting for the right moment. Work that day was stressful and had put me in a foul mood. He sensed I was upset and asked me to meet him at the car, I was already on edge and even more annoyed that he was going to make me walk all the way to the car, but I did. We talked for a bit when I got there and he worked his magic and managed to make the stress disappear, before we parted ways he dropped to one knee in the parking lot...He said this is where we met, where we fell in love, that he loved me and my son and said we were blessings to him, he said he promised to love and take care of us forever and would I bless him by being his wife...he continued on saying he had already asked my son and mom for permission...I was shocked and I burst into tears...let me tell you, there was no "cute" crying! It was full on ugly tears...I had my hands over my mouth in shock and disbelief...I couldnt even gather the words to answer him...I just pulled him up off his knee and held him...tears were falling by the bucket load...thats when he said "I'll take that as a yes"...
Were planning our Wishes wedding for April 10, 2011 .Im so excited and overwhelmed Ive barely begun planning with around 7 months left I look forward to everyones input

ALOHA!
! Thanks for reading and posting everyone...I'm feeling the love 
and this way it would be a vacation for all. So the search starts all the way from the opposite corner of the country...
...We scheduled a site visit with Diane our WC from DFTW. The first place we were shown was the WP. I didn't really think this would be "us" but we took a look anyways...we both fell in love with the Wedding Pavillion...I mean absolutely blown away...I can't describe the feeling but I was speechless, in awe, totally got "chicken skins"... 
...
...Me and Google are best friends...I have found tropical and vintage inspired weddings but nothing really with the combination of both. I'm determined to make this all work though 
! I would love to have some work done by you if time allows...I read a few of your posts and saw your son plays for the Longhorns...i had to tell my DF who is originally from Austin and a HUUUGE Longhorns fan! He was beyond excited ^_^ ! The flag actually just went up in our window (we have a new neighbor who is a Oklahoma fan). We make a longhorns pumpkin every year and he even was trying to push burnt orange as one of our wedding colors
...I love steals like this!
