What a way to celebrate the Holidays. I am officially off the market now. I got engaged December 23rd at California Adventures and not Disneyland like I wanted. The place that we had reservations for was there instead of Disneyland. Also by the time that it happened we were so tired of walking around and also double checking to make sure the ring was in my purse that we just decided.
I think what makes it even better is 
the fact that this great couple got engaged also this Christmas. This is my sister and her now fiancé, my future Brother-In-Law Bryan. I was the only one that knew that they were going to be engaged by Christmas this year and we had a wonderful Holiday. My wedding is going to be August 25th(hopefully?) of this year. Their wedding is going to be sometime in 2008. They haven't set a date yet. Alejandro had a great time with my family around the Holidays. In fact, he felt really comfortable with everyone and I am glad that he felt that way because he was making a big stink of it before hand. My family really likes him and even if they didn't, then they don't have to be at our wedding.
I know the other thing that made it special was that my cousin Stephanie and her son Nicholas showed up on Christmas Day for the 1st time in over 10 years. She looks great and everyone accepted her like I knew they would. I know they were so happy to see her and that she was there for the holidays. See when her parents got divorced it was a big mess, but the most important thing is that she is back in our lives now and that is all that matters.

A couple of days before New Years Alejandro and I drove back up to WA. We made a stop at my Uncle John and Aunt Diane's house in Sonora and stayed one night. That was a very nice visit and they got to know him a little bit more. I think he was more surprised by them opening up their door to us for one night, so we could get a good nights rest. We made it into WA almost a whole day late, but we did have a nice drive and we didn't kill each other.
New Year's Eve we laid low and that was because we were both really tired from the trip. I made him dinner that night and then we just enjoyed each others company the rest of the night. New Year's Day we stayed at home for a little bit and then went to the Woodland Park Zoo. It was a cold day that day but we had a nice time and it was worth it to go and see another Zoo and get out of his apartment for a little bit.
The last day I was there he had to work, but his co-worker let him leave after lunch so we got some last minute time together. I also spent most of the day cooking and cleaning the apartment a little bit so that helped keep me busy. Well I should end this. Until next time...
