Happy Thoughts......

I want to write something happy.....this place needs something positive. I need to keep thinking positive instead of dwelling on the negatives. Thanksgiving weekend, Sniper couldn't come up for the holiday. He was house sitting for some friends of ours. We spent it apart....again. I am trying not to dwell on it, it is what it is. So, the day after, after I got off of work (first time in 10 years I have had to work the day after Thanksgiving and it sucked ass), I flew down to spend four days with him. We had a beautiful time with just the two of us. No stress, no errands to run, no roommates around, no kids.....just us. At night we sat in the backyard, sipping on wine, sitting next to a fire Sniper built for us, cuddling up together, having great conversations. Sniper took very good care of me the whole time. He spoiled me rotten (he always does). He even made a wonderful dinner. Salmon on a bed of rice, with a cheese sauce and asparagus. It was so good. My mouth is watering just thinking of it. The place we stayed at (house sitting) is the place we are getting married. Hopefully if all goes well it will be April 21, 2007. We have named the place "Paradise." It is just that. The backyard is beautiful. Palm trees, pool, hottub, rock bar with all the amneities, waterfall, tv, surround sound music. What more could you ask for. Most of the weekend it revolved around planning "Our Wedding." We started with our guest list. We have very limited space, so this was important to tackle for us. We ended up deciding to have 2 receptions besides the day of. One up here where I am currently residing for those who can't make it down to San Diego and one down there for our friends. On Saturday, we had our florist come out and picked out all of our flowers. They are so beautiful. We picked stargazer lilies, calililies, tropical flowers.......I am getting more excited as the days go on (it's not coming soon enough). Sniper is the one who is doing most of the planning and work. Now before you go getting all silly on me and wonder why I would let a man plan something like this by his self. I have to tell you Sniper is not your typical man. He knows how to plan, organize and complete missions. Remember he is a Marine after all. And a wedding is no different than a mission. Besides, he has a truly romantic side to him and him and I have the same tastes. Shhhh, just don't tell anyone he can be mushy. Again, he is a Marine and has a reputation to live up to. LOL. Here is our lists.....see who has it easy: Dyz, my dress and accessories; Bridesmaids dresses; Buy his ring; Photographer (done, it's my dad); Show up for the wedding Sniper, Caterer and food (done); Table, chair and linen rentals (done); Order Cake (done); Flowers (done, we did this one together); Invitations; Tuxedos for the boys; Hire clean-up detail; Bartendar; Hotel Room (already picked it out); Organize Arch Saber detail I guess I do.......Ohhhhh, I so can't wait. Less than 6 months and I will be Mrs. Sniper. Dyzgoneby
