The beginning

As I sit here eating my 100 calorie fudgsicle, with Jackers and Sheriff Woody nearby, my head is swimming with plans, dates, ideas, budgets, needs, wants, and everything else that comes with getting engaged, and planning the wedding of your dreams with out breaking the bank! All while trying to buy a house, work, and live your life with out driving your family crazy.

Sheriff Woody and I got engaged on March 5th, he likes to say he won me in a carnival game. At Mission Beach's Belmont Park, while attempting to massacre a wall of clown bowling pins, he knelt down and proposed. I didn't know whether to be shocked that it was actually happening or excited that I was getting 2 rings in one night! The great costume jewelry ring I had just won in the game, (that he has strategically placed there), and the perfect diamond ring he had waiting for me when I turned around, to be worn on my left hand for the rest of our lives! Needless to say, it was a great day.

Since that day our lives have been completely consumed by the engagement, wedding planning, house hunting, and Jack Bauer Daniels. For anyone who thinks that planning a wedding and looking for a house at the same time is a good idea... I beg to differ! I will soon explain my experiences with finding a home with Sheriff Woody and what we really wish we knew before starting everything!
