My Heart in Haiti

My Fiancé is in Haiti right now doing relief work. She left Thanksgiving night and won't be back until this Friday.

I miss her so much, but we've fortunately been able to communicate here and there via Facebook.

(Her at Sea World, where she took me a few weeks ago for my B day)

So far I've heard -

There's political unrest

There's giant spiders

The children there maul you

And it's amazing!

I can only imagine what's it's like over there.

So send all of your love and best wishes to Meghan, her family, and our church family out there.

They'll be back soon and I can't wait to see my lovey again.

-23RD-

On November the 8th, I celebrated my 23rd birthday.

We had a great time! Thank you all for the birthday wishes and

coming out to celebrate with me.

One of the best things about this weekend was this...

Meghan rode a beach cruiser with me.

To say the least, I smiled a lot.

I was also given a picture frame for this photo print

an amazing photographer gave me years ago.

It was nice to finally be able to frame it :)

I was also given what has been referred to as a "gentleman's knife"

The bead was hand-crafted:

Awesomeness.

And lastly, a wood skin for my Mac

This is made out of 100% Cedar.

Check them out here.

Thank you so much everyone for the awesome gifts and more than anything:

wonderful times

(Coming soon to the blog: A long-awaited date with the woman I love.)

Great Thanks

I've recently received two wonderful gifts

One is a beautiful and simple watch from my loving fiance.

The other is a hand-made wallet from a great friend.

The details on this wallet are awesome.

Hand stitched and stamped with my initials, this wallet

has found a special place in my heart.

Both of these are treasures to me,

and have become essential parts of my every day carry.

Thank you both, again.

A N N I V E R S A R Y

September 24 marked the first anniversary of Meghan and I. We had an amazing weekend to celebrate and were able to each treat the other to a day of surprises and fun.

I gave Meghan this book that has letters I wrote to her the week before I proposed.

Friday was my day to surprise Meghan. I took her out to L.A. (where we first fell in love a year prior).

We had dinner at Miceli's, which was amazing. The waiters/waitresses sing

and the food is beyond great.

Also, Meghan walked six blocks in heels to get to this restaurant,

she deserves some acknowledgement for her bravery.

After dinner, we went and saw Phantom of the Opera at the Pantages Theater.

I've never been to that theater before and it is really cool.

To say the least, we had a great time.

Saturday was Meghan's day to plan our fun.

To start off, we had a nice relaxing lunch and watched a movie.

After lunch, she surprised me with tickets to the Sound of Music Sing-A-Long

@ the Hollywood Bowl.

This was my first time ever seeing the movie, and I really liked it.

I've been singing the songs from it ever since we went.

She also bought us a really cool bucket full of goodies and snacks

including my favorite trail mix.

The evening came along with a large number of interesting people,

as indicated by the post-known official sponsor of the event.

It is L.A. after all.

I got to fall more in love with the girl I didn't think I could

love any more, and thanks to her, I get to do that often.

It was an anniversary I'll never forget.

Hand Hearts

This is a quick little project I've had in the works for a while.

I finally had some time to get to it.

Anniversary

This upcoming weekend, Meghan and I will be celebrating our first anniversary.

It's amazing to think that this week last year, I was head-over-heels in love with a girl who had no idea (okay, maybe a small idea) that I was in love with her.

Now I get to proudly say that I'm marrying that woman and I've fallen even more in love with her.

Thank you Meghan, for being the love of my life, my everything.
