From This Moment
The Engagement
Chris and I had a one of a kind engagement. To me, it was probably one of the funniest, most unromantic things that has ever happened. To try to make a long story short, Chris and I had dated before (see The Ex Files). He went back to Vegas about 7 months after we broke up and we started hanging out again (like every day). I wanted to get back together with him really bad, and we did. But this time around, I was taking things slow and wasn't getting my hopes up. He went on Pac for 3 months and when he got home, he was talking all funny. Stuff about us being together for a long time (subtle stuff like "My wife is going with me," "We're gonna do this...") and I just thought he was smoking crack, and didn't think nothing else of it. Next thing you know, I told him that I wanted to move to San Diego. He said "A couple things have to happen first" and that was it. I knew one was a job, and I knew what the other was, but he didn't say it. The next day I read the newspaper, and my horoscope couldn't be any better (see it off to the left). That night I brought up moving again. He said, again, "A few things have to happen first." I said "Like what?" That's when he said "Well, first you need a job." Well, duh!!! "And???" This part kills me, he said, "And a new name." LOL - what was wrong with Kwiatkowski?? So anyway, I told him that he never brought it up and nest thing you know, within two conversations after that, we had the date set. There was no official proposal until 2 months after the horoscope thing, but I already had everything in full swing. So many details I want to share, but so many pictures to go up. So I'll skip the small talk and let you see how it all turned up.
