I have been lurking for a while now and I am excited to be able to start planning my own wedding!! Cast:
Me (Nicola): I just graduated from college with a degree to teach elementary school!!! I am currently looking for a job in Oregon while we are living in Texas (more on the move later). I am origanlly from England but moved to the states when I was 8. My family didnt think we would be here long so we traveled alot. One year we went to disneyland at thanksgiving and disney world at christmas. I had not been to Disney World since I was 9 ir 10 until Jan. 2006!
DF (Andrew): Andrew was born and raised in Oregon! He taveled to Disney World many times during his life. He also went to disney in Jan 2006!
How we met:
Well you can see that we both went to Disney World in Jan. 2006. We met Jan. 9th 2006 on arrival day of the College Program!! That right we are another couple who expericned the Magic of being a CP!! The first night my room mates and I invied the guys next door to go to Bennigans with us. Here is a picture of that first night! (we are the two in the back)
But I can say it was not love at first sight. I moved to florida in a relationship that was going downhill. I took me a while to relize this and it was Andrew who eventually led me away from that relationship into the best great relationship that we have
Andrew and I have birthdays 3 days apart in Feb. So a whole group of us went out to dinner to help us celerbrate our birthdays!! That night Andrew gave me my birthday present and in the card he included a coupon for a date! I worked nights and he worked days so it was a couple of weeks later that we got to go on our first date. We went to Bomas! It was a wonderful evening with great food and even better company!! A couple of weeks later we shared our first kiss at the end of wishes!! We spend the rest of the time we lived in Vista enjoyingour time together. But that had to end. At the end of our program I had to come home to Texas to finish school and Andrew had to move back to Oregon. But that only last 3 months and Andrew moved to Texas at the end of that summer where we have been living ever since.
The Engagement:
Andrew and I have taken two trips to Disney World and 1 trip to Disneyland since he has moved to Texas. Last year we started planning the trip of all trips. It was my graduation gift! We rented DVC points from Andrews mom, did the dining plan, bought P&P Party tickets!! We where excited and all set to go. We left on Tuesday May 27th. I knew the engagement was comming because I had picked out my ring. But I did not know when during the trip it would happed. After 4 days of no ring we spent Sat. May 31 at the AKL pool. We then got ready and went to the P&P Party. We watched the parade adn started walking to Fantasyland. On the way we saw Cindys coach. I am a picture snob so we HAD to stop and get pictures.
Then Andrew got on one knee and asked me to be his wife
Of course I said YES!! I guess Andrew did not hear me because later he asked me what my answer was. We enjoyed the fireworks and the rest of the evening!!
I am excited that I get to start planning my DFTW. Im not sure of any details yet but we are hoping for July 2009. We are also moving to Oregon next month so that Andrew can finish school. We are driving and staying 5 nights at Disneyland on the way!
Well thats all for now. I should be studying for a test that I have Monday so I better go start that.
It will be the happiest time ever as you plan your special day!]
Just for everyone's information, thats my husband in the tie-dyed shirt in the first pic!
Well i took it again on Monday and I PASSED!!! Im super excited
Do you already have a job lined up or does that enable you to now apply for positions? I hope it all goes really well for you!
