AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER

August has been an AMAZING month for me so far!!!  Let me catch you up on what’s been going on in my CRAZY world…

AUGUST 1, Boyfriend surprised me with an overnight mini-date.  In the morning he told me to pack my bags for a night, and dress for a “little hike.”ME BEING CUTE AND PRETENDING TO EAT THROUGH THE BAG OF TRAIL MIX THAT BOYFRIEND BOUGHT ME FOR THE HIKE

So we went on a “little hike” that turned out to be a GRUELING .8.5 mile hike up Mt. Cuyamaca (2nd tallest Mountain in San Diego). WAY UP HIGH

When we got to the top, Boyfriend set up a picnic in a surprise location while I waited. When he called me over to the site he was waiting in a full tux, and you can guess what happened next….

BLUE BOX SPECIAL!!!!

“Boyfriend” is now “Fiancé”. But we decided we hated that word so we are calling each other “G2B” (Groom To Be) and “B2B” (Bride To Be).

Then he whisked me over to Temecula for wine tasting and an overnight at a villa at a winery.

 

It was amazing and EVERYTHING that I have ever dreamed of.

And the ring….

It’s from TIFFANY’S. It’s BIGGER and BETTER then I’ve ever dreamed. I was overwhelmed with Boyfriend’s generously and creativity. I can’t stop staring at it and thinking, “THIS IS MINE!!!”

Less then two weeks later we went to Cancun, Mexico to celebrate my 30th BIRTHDAY!!!  I think it goes without saying that we had an INCREDIBLE time.  We stayed at an all inclusive resort called “Dreams” (aptly named), and engaged in every activity that Cancun had to offer!!  We aren’t the types of sit around on a beach for a week, though we did get in some beach time.

View from our balcony.  We overlooked the dolphin lagoon below.  We could hear them at night splashing in the water!

The Jacuzzi tub on the balcony of our PRESIDENTIAL SUITE!!!  It was HUGE but completely unnecessary because we barely stayed in the room.  We slept and showered there, but spent the rest of the time exploring Cancun.Swim-up pool bar!!

 

 

We went on a Pirate Show Dinner Cruise for my BIG birthday!!  It was really cute and I got to eat lobster which is always fun!!

 

The ruins of “Chicken Pizza.”  It’s actually called Chichen Itza, but Boyfriend and I liked Chicken Pizza better!!

 

 

 

 

 

This month has been one of the most INCREDIBLE months of my life!!!  Everyone keeps asking us our wedding plans, but Boyfriend and I want to soak up the fun of being engaged before we started dealing with the stress of wedding planning.  I LOVE being engaged!!!  I’m surprised how different it is versus just dating.  Boyfriend and I agree that it just feels more “special.” 

Now back to normal life and kicking my butt to lose vacation/engagement lbs!! But TOTALLY worth it!!

XOXO
