Most people do not take a wedding gown home before they put a deposit on a venue....but I guess it just worked out that way for me. I will not go into detail or post pictures because it's a surprise (mostly for my groom-to-be). But I am very happy! Thanks to all my friends and family for coming with me to try on dresses, or looking at photos and giving me your honest opinions.
Much appreciated!

A whole lot of Crappy Shit
Where do I begin?
We found the venue we both love and can afford and they won't return my calls after I asked them to change some wording in the contract. The bay bridge is closed. My carpool is upset with me because I asked them for an increased fee to cover maintenance costs on the car. Then my tire is busted and my purse gets stolen. Oh yeah and I feel like my boss is upset with me. It's like one big shit storm...oh yeah did i mention that i was saving up for my new ipod for 6 months and it got stolen along with my purse two days after i got it? and my insurance deductable is too big to cover it?
def. not having a good week. :(

A unique proposal
Wes and I were at a local ice cream place, sitting outside enjoying the warm weather and having our treat when he looks down onto the bench his foot is perched on and says "what's that?" I take a look and this is what I see:
To further investigate Wes grabs it (it was stuck to the bench magnetically) and this is what it was:
Wes then went to put it back, afraid of what would be inside, but my curiosity got the best6 of me. I was really expecting either candy, drugs, or empty with just a magnet. Instead I saw a $2 bill and a rolled up paper which read this:
If the note wasnt there I probably would have kept the cash and called it my lucky day, but I put it all back and left it where we found it.
The next day we went by there again and it was gone....I hope Melinda said yes!

Update
I have not been posting updates for a couple of reasons. 1)The only photos I am currently working on are from Ian and Jen's wedding. I don't even take new pictures if I can help it because I am so backlogged with photo work. 2) Until our venue and date is set I prefer not to announce wedding planning news.
Sorry if you keep checking. I will say my Mom came to visit and it was super awesome to look at venues and dresses with her, and my ste-dad is coming this weekend. I can't wait!!
The support and help we have been receiving in regards to wedding planning has been awesome!!!!
Thats all for now...

Very Very Happy
So first of all we saw a few venues today adn one we liked a lot, so thats awesome news, but even better was that we went to a big where house sale at Cycle Gear today and majorly scored. I got a new passenger helmet (originally $130) for $20! The biggest news though is that Wes got a full face helmet!!! Ever since we started dating I made it very clear how I did not like that he did not wear a full face helmet and i worry about him a lot. He was never interested and not willing to get one or wear one. I even gave up smoking!!! It always made me sad that he would not wear a full face helmet to make me feel better/safer about him riding (I ride too, but I am a gear freak). Anyway... today he bought one and said he would wear it sometimes... better than never!!! I almost felt as good as the moment he put the ring on my finger... just another thing ensuring a long future with the man i am madly in love with.

County Fair~!
Wes and I went to the Alameda County Fair in July... we rode our motorcycles there and it was a lot of fun. Just before we left we both had a good laugh at the expense of a latin cowboy with a big hat:
Can you guess which one I wanted?
Some cool rides:
