Face Book

Well i have been a lil bit negligent on updating my blog....my apologies. I've been sucked into the realm of Facebook. I was hesitant at first...but now i've warmed up to the idea of the whole social networking aspect of it. I've been in contact with people i haven't heard from in years...and i talk to my brother John and my sister Shauna a whole lot more than i ever did in the past. So that's a good thing.
Rachel has been steadily preparing for our wedding next year. I love how she is so task oriented and stays focused on the important things in order to be as prepared as possible for the big day. Me on the other hand....well lets just say my A.D.D gets in the way. LOL! But i try to chip in an help whenever i can or am asked. Hopefully i can contribute much more in the near future. All i can say is that i'm really excited about our future together and love the idea of being married to this wonderful woman. She's been a life blessing that i sorely needed!

Background info....how it all started.

So i guess everyone should have a little bit of information about how this all began...Rachel and I are co-workers.  And i have...whoops HAD a rule about getting involved with my female co-workers.  My rule was not to pursue my feelings...but somehow  my feelings for Rachel overcame that and I had to let her know how i felt about her....gutsy move i know.  But it worked out.  BIGTIME!!!  I would like to add a little footnote here...without Leah's guidance i would've been lost on this endeavour.  So Rachel and i have worked in the same section since 2005...she was icy to everything male for quite some time...i couldn't blame her for that.  We work in a blue collar industry and the men can be gigantic ass$%#@.  You get the idea.  I was attracted to her from the beginning but i didn't dwell on it.  It wasn't until 2007 that we became closer a little bit at a time...you know how the vetting process works for men and women....i sensed that she was attracted to me as well after awhile.  So in march of 2008 I summoned all my courage and asked her out...to my great surprise she said YES.  I couldn't quite believe it at first...but it was true she said yes and i was on my way to finding my true love.

Wedding update.....the Dresses for the bridesmaids have arrived!

The Bridesmaid dresses have arrived....Rachel was like a lil girl at Christmas opening the big brown box from J-Crew.  It held 4 yellow hued dresses....the ladies are going to look great...I'm just wondering what blue jeans and t-shirt i'm gonna wear?  lol
