Style, Color, Etc.

So, today we again embarked on a hunt for the perfect venue for our day. As a reminder, it was Silver Springs and the Hilton. We are still not one hundred percent sure where the wedding is going to be, although after today we know where we would prefer. It's looking like we will be making a decision within the next week or so, although that is tentative. :)

Tomorrow Tori and I are going to IKEA to look at some furniture. Our main interest is to get some inspiration as far a style, color, etc. for when we start registering more. Anytime we start thinking about all the wonderful things that we have to plan and prepare for this next year we get so excited!

This picture is Old, and I'm not sure from where! haha

I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow! Good night!

Venue Hunting!

Hey everyone! Today was a nice and relaxed day! Daniel made me breakfast and we ate while we watched a movie. For lunch, we went to Daniel's grandparents' house! Where we met that cute little rat pictured above! Afterwards, we drove to Ocala and spent some time with our families. My mom made a yummy dinner. :D We also went to Target again! Big day tomorrow! We're looking at the Hilton and Silver Springs. We're so excited to hopefully pick our venue! Sleeeeeeepy time! Good night and God bless!

Registry!

So the big news of the day... we started registering! The place of choice? Target! I was really suprised by the amount of things they had there. We only "bleeped" six thing so far though. Tori and I decided that it would be a good idea to go ahead and regroup, analyze the situation, create an optimum plan of action, and attack... Later! It was so very exciting. Thinking about things that will go in OUR apartment! So ready for this separate places business to be over. But for now, that's okay. We are closer now than ever! So we are definitely making progress! Well, that is both the update of the day and photo of the day! Sort of short and sweet so I hope you all enjoyed! Goodnight and God bless! :)

Happy Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Today, I spent the whole day studying for my astronomy test tomorrow morning. 10 hours of reading chapters, answering questions and defining words. Pray for me tomorrow! Pretty sure this test is not going to be an easy one. Hahaha.

Luckily, I finished a good amount of work so that Daniel and I were able to celebrate a bit. Daniel read pretty much the whole time while I was studying. He has the rest of the week off! I didn't. Anyways, we went to the Cheesecake Factory and had some cheeseburgers in honor of America. ;) Afterwards, we went to Baldwin Park, (where Daniel proposed) and watched like 20 fireworks shows at once over the lake! I though this was really cool! Nothing like I've ever done before! We saw some pretty good ones! and they were free!

Really hoping for a relaxing rest of the week/weekend. Still a good amount of schoolwork to finish though. I want to catch some rays! Also, we might go to Ocala on Saturday to look at more venues. I'm so ready to settle the time and place, so we can really start updating you all!

Well, I best get some rest for my test! (How's that for rhyming?) Goodnight all! I hope you had a fun and safe holiday! Special thanks to our soldiers and veterans who make the day possible! :)

Class Assignment!

Tori has been working on a video recently, not to my knowledge, about our engagement. It was an assignment from one of her classes to tell a story by video, so she chose our engagement. She happened upon a few videos that I recorded on my computer while looking for material for her video. They were of me the night before I proposed, leaving her little messages about the plans I had and how excited I was. She wasn't suppose to see those for a long time, maybe years, but regardless, she did! Of course, since I didn't know she was doing this video until yesterday, it was a big surprise to see my video on hers! But she loved it so it was good! After watching that video I cannot believe that we are less than eleven months from the BIG day. Hopefully, still looking for venues! But that's just part of the fun!! :D 

The photograph has no significance to todays story, but Tori looks so sweet! Just one of the many characteristics I love about her! :)

God Provides.

This picture was taken one weekend when Daniel came to visit me at UNF. Being poor college students, this was our dinner: Sandwiches, fruit cups, mac n' cheese, and pretzels and cream cheese. That's a pretty good meal for then. Hahaha. We were sitting on the floor of my dorm and having a blast. My favorite thing about this, is while we were sitting there we talked about how if we had to eat ramen noodles on the floor when we got married, so be it! Seriously, as long as we have each other, we will be happy. We have been so blessed to not have every meal microwaved since I've moved here! Hahaha. I've actually been able to practice a lot of cooking! :) It is so cool to look back on our lives and see how God has blessed us, paved the way for us, and how he continues to do so. We are so excited to see what God has yet to do in our lives!! I know He has big plans. Opportunities are waiting. Doors are opening. We just can't wait to officially start our life together as one. Life is good. ;)

LESS THAN 11 MONTHS!!!!

Ride Home!

What a wonderful weekend; two families became one. A wonderful Godly joining of two! So excited for Mr. And Mrs. Carlos Ramirez! Welcome to the family Amanda!

Today was our long travel home. We stopped at South of the Border on the way home for breakfast! There was a cute little diner there! Then we took pictures with a few of the funny statues they have there. Most of the drive Tori and I just slept but when we got home, we were tired... Which doesn't make physiological sense in my mind, but I'm not a physiologist. Now we're back to Orlando in our little apartments. It's always fun to travel and see places, but it's always good to get back home! Well, two days of work this week... Which is pretty good! 

The picture is from St. Augustine! :)

Hope everyone has a safe fourth of July holiday! God bless!
