Saturday, June 28th, 2008Mr. Jones and I haven’t picked a date yet but my semi-controlling nature compels me to be doing something everyday regarding wedding planning. Today I reached out to a view former co-workers to ask them for their wedding vendor lists. I have one girl friend that always talks about going to the back [...]
Men are from Mars
Thursday, June 26th, 2008When I told Mr. Jones about “The List” he just got that blank stare on his face –you know the one I am talking about girls, the one that says “What’s the big deal?” The one that screams “He just doesn’t get it” and “You’re making a big deal about nothing.” That look! [...]
The List…
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008I think I mentioned how surprised I was when Mr. Jones proposed…well, I was totally unprepared for some of the more colorful comments that I got when I told people that we were engaged. So caught off guard that if I am being totally honest, the comments were the motivation for starting the blog. [...]
Start spreading the news…
Monday, June 23rd, 2008We make it home and I am ready to start spreading the news! Unfortunately, we don’t get home until really late and we are so tired the only thing we can think about is getting home and climbing into bed–our bed.
The next day I get up and go to work and make my way through [...]
How do I go back to real life??
Saturday, June 21st, 2008Did I mention that Mr. Jones and I are so happy that we can hardly stand it? We are so happy that our very skin feels confining! Now, that is happy.
On the plan ride home Mr. Jones turns to me and the conversation goes something like this:
Mr. Jones: “Honey, I can’t believe you didn’t call [...]
A good time had by all
Thursday, June 19th, 2008So, the trip continues and we all have a fantastic time. Over the next couple of days we do some sightseeing in Old San Juan, spend lots of time at the pool and beach–sorry Marisela! We split up–girls head to Plaza las Americas and the guys head off to play poker at the [...]
Putting it all together
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008I spend the rest of the trip between walking on clouds and in total shock. I just keep thinking to myself, “I can’t believe he surprised me like this.”
After the proposal when we were back in our room, several shots later, I started pumping him for details. I wanted to know when he’d [...]
Pleasantly surprised!
Monday, June 16th, 2008Ok, so to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the proposal is clearly the UNDERSTATEMENT of the year! Let me set paint a picture for you…
Mr. Jones and I are refreshed from our little nap, totally ready to see what Puerto Rico nightlife has to offer. We head down to the lobby [...]
Off to a good start
Saturday, June 14th, 2008So, we get to PR early, early Friday morning and Karla, the lovely girl working the front desk at La Concha, let us check in to our room almost as soon as we got there. She even hooked us up with the most amazing ocean view. We take a little nap before checking [...]
Buenos Dias Puerto Rico!
Thursday, June 12th, 2008The sleep and the separation on the flight obviously does us some good! We deplane with new and refreshed attitudes–all love and adoration, life is good.
My initial impressions of the island are great, as we made our way to taxi line everyone was so friendly. Now remember, we took a red-eye so it [...]
