Hello hive :) My name is Sara and my fiance's name is Jon. Although I've been stalking WB since early April, I really didn't have much to post about my own engagement and planning until---well, 2 1/2 weeks ago (06-14-09)! So, for a few introductions...
I'm 27 years old, originally from Kansas (yes, I'm a yellow brick road/Dorothy girl). I live in the Denver area and work for a police department as an Office Specialist to the Special Investigations Unit. I enjoy crafting, reading blogs (a lot!), taking dance classes at the gym (shimmy shimmy!), would love to take KravMaga on a regular basis, like to hike, foods I love: any kind of berries, Red Vines licorice, asparagus, chicken salads, Cucumber Ranch by Kraft, vegetable lasagna and brats--boy do I eat poorly! Of course my time spent with Jon is laying on the back of his flat bed '78 Ford, under a sleeping bag and blankets and just looking at the stars while we snuggle and talk into the night. I know, I sound so cheesy(!) but we do that!
A little about Jon, he's 25, a very talented mechanic with so many specialized certificates under his belt to keep up to date on I don't know how he does it! He loves his truck, has big plans to overhaul the GTO he has currently sitting in his parent's garage and would eat peanut butter sandwiches (minus the jelly!) every meal if I let him! Not only is he good with autos, he can cook very well without a recipe (I need one), makes amazing wood furniture and I swear he is a jack of all trades. The man can fix anything! During this wedding planning time he always mentions ways to incorporate a truck, somehow/someway. We'll see what I can do to put a truck in the day somehow ;) Oh, and he's also very good at making me feel better when I'm clumsy and stub my baby toes on anything and everything---he's a sweetheart!
The other member of our household, and very much a part of our daily lives, is Chester, my 4 1/2 year old Cockapoo. Chester truly is the entertainment of the house! Since he's part Cocker Spaniel, he really does show it with the long/floppy ears with wavy hair. The rest of his body has just enough curl to it and his tail looks like a small pom-pom that dances around almost every minute of the day. He's all black in color with a small patch of white on his chin that looks like a goatee. Oh, and it's too cute, the little guy also has a snaggle tooth that will bring a smile to anyone's face!
So, there you have it, a little bit about me, Jon and my furry son (Jon's adopted furry son)! As for the "peas and carrots" bit, ever since the first month of Jon and I dating my mom has described our relationship to friends and family just like that. We go together like peas and carrots!
