I booked our flight to Flagstaff, AZ and I'm so excited to go! All of my immediate family on my mom's side lives there and they are all so much fun. My cousins and I have a blast and Flagstaff is such a great place. It will be a chance for me to catch up with everyone and for them to meet Emmett since the wedding will be so busy. We are going in May so spring will be in full force. I think what I am most excited about is a trip with Emmett and getting to travel somewhere. I love going places and it makes even more exciting to share it with him!
We also have decided where we are going on our honeymoon which I may have already said in a prior blog. We decided on Vancouver, British Columbia. We wanted to go to San Francisco, but the place is booked during that time so we will another time. Vancouver is supposed to be the SF of Canada. It will be a blast for a week! We went in and applied for our passports so that's done plus I'm planning more out of country trips for the future. Europe here we come...someday! haha
Emmett's family is from Cedarville, CA so we will be heading that way some weekend and hopefully taking some smaller excursions on our weekends for fun. Pretty sure it's going to be a good year!

An Addendum
I will add:
Emmett doesn't really fit a cop mentality so I don't see crazy mental cop image that I pictured. He is very nice and would do anything for anyone. He's very loving in case anyone was concerned from the prior post. I wouldn't subject myself to crazy willingly. :)

His stuff...
Emmett has moved in....
My stuff officially doesn't like his stuff...
Where am I supposed to put it all? It will work out or I will get rid of it all.
Not really, though. He doesn't have that much, but it seems like it. I did inherit a 46in flat screen TV and if any of you know what I had before (a little 14in TV) you will understand my excitement!

August 28, 2010
This is the official date of the wedding. I wanted a spring wedding but that would be too soon to do a wedding and I didn't want to wait a year and a half. Nor did I want to share an anniversary with my birthday month. 28 is my lucky number. I was born 9/28. I've used 28 for everything. Emmett proposed to me 11/28 without him even realizing it. We had another special moment 12/28 without realizing the date either. So why not have a wedding cermony on the 28th also.
It's going to be at Sawtooth Winery and the dress has been picked, the DJ booked, cake tasting for fun next week, and meet with a photographer on the 23rd. It's slowly coming together and I rather shoot myself. I don't do girl an I never imagined how many small details there are, but I'm pushing through! I just was a simple, elegant wedding and I hope I can keep it that way! Emmett and I have taken on the expense which has added some stress... mainly for me. I will attempt to keep you up to date through here as time goes on.
We chose Vancouver for the honeymoon so much get started on those passports! I am really excited! He's super wonderful! Also, I realize I need some pictures on here, but well I'm at work so that will have to wait!

Engagement
So, Emmett and I went and checked out wedding rings the week before Thanksgiving. When asked what kind of rings do I like, I responded with well I have no idea. I showed him what I liked, but refused to be a part of the whole buying process. That was for him to take care of. I was pretty sure one was bought, but I had no idea what his plan was and there was no way he was going to be able to pick it up before going to the Oregon coast for Thanksgiving so I gave up on the thought of being proposed to on the beach.
We arrived at Cannon Beach Thanksgiving day and went all over the beach and town. We took a drive down to Tillamook Friday and wandered the streets of Seaside. I had a blast with him without suspecting a thing. Saturday rolled along and my aunt, uncle (who graciously invited us to the condo on the beach), and mom decided it would be fun to do some pictures of us at Hug Point down the road. So off we went to go do that. It was gorgeous that day and we did our pictures and wandered the beach some more. The rest of the family went their own way and Emmett and I climbed up into a cove to get out of the wind for a bit. I didn't suspect a thing until 2minutes before when he got really nervous. I kept looking at him like what the hell is wrong with you? Finally he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes and the ring was beautiful! I really appreciated him not asking me in front of the crowd where we did pictures and waiting for a moment when my family wasn't around. It was just the two of us and it was great! Come to find out, he ran straight from work to pick up the ring the night before we left and carried in his jacket pocket the whole weekend without me even suspecting it! I didn't notice him making me walk on his right side only and him guarding his jacket pocket.
Now I did ask him why he got so nervous if he knew the answer already. It was due to him wanting to be sure it was the perfect time and a little romantic. It was cute. He wanted to do it on a night walk but wasn't sure how the weather was going to be and then it dawned on him that I wouldn't be able to see the ring at night which finalized his descision. He did a great job and it will be a great memory!

2009 Part II
I decided to dedicate a seperate post to meeting Emmett so I have a memory of it...
I was approached by Suzie, a nurse from the ER, about a new police officer with Caldwell that her husband and her wanted to set me up with. This was July, mind you. I told her that there was no way I was going to go on a date with a cop due to them having mental complexes that I didn't want to put up with. She insisted that I meet him because he was just so nice and respectful. And since he was kinda shy also she thought we would be a good match. So I gave in cuz I was tired of trying to find one myself. Well come to find out I wasn't allowed to meet him until after he was done with his 12 week training!! Ok, fine...I will wait.
Next, I got a text message in October from her letting me know he was done and that he would like to meet me. I had totally forgotten that I was supposed to meet this guy and had made plans with someone else...oh well I cancelled them. I made him meet me at the hospital the nextt night since we were both working and I didn't want to do a blind date because if I didn't like him I didn't want to sit through the whole date. I was afraid it was going to be a short not so good looking cop. Well as I walked out to meet him, checked him out, he was pretty dang cute AND he was in uniform. Conversation came really easy and we felt really comfortable with each other from the start. We set up a date for the weekend. After meeting him for the first time I thought two things: 1. I could marry this guy. 2. I'm kinda sad to say good bye. I have never thought these thoughts about a guy ever...EVER! We saw each other every day since. We were meant to be. I never thought the statement "when you know, you know" or "we were meant to be together" were true until now!
