Joel and I have decided to put our house-hunting on hold, because we need to save more money for a down payment and there isn’t much around in our price range that we both can agree on. Also, we feel like wedding planning/paying for should be more of a focus for now.
Speaking of wedding planning- it’s driving me a little crazy, because I feel like there is so much we need to do, but we’re at a kind of limbo at the moment. We probably need to have another meeting with Joel, myself, Jim and Jan, and my Dad about trimming the guest list and other various things. We’ve found a photographer that we might be using, which is kind of exciting. We’re meeting with him on Wednesday to discuss stuff and pricing.
Also, speaking of weddings, apparently Joel’s brother Josh got engaged to his girlfriend (now fiancee) Targol… which is great and all, but seems a little sudden. Josh is my brother’s age and has rushed into engagement before, so we’re a little worried. We all prefer Targol to the previous fiancee, but still… it seems rather soon. Also, Jen is going to be pissed that Josh and Targol got engaged before Jeremiah and her. She and Jeremiah have been together for 5-6 years and living together for a while, and there’s no ring. Jere’s in trouble.
No hope on the job front. I’m going to be continuing to sub at Fairport and work at Wegmans in the Floral department… and maybe eventually something will come up? It’s frustrating, but there’s not much I can do about it right now when there aren’t job openings to apply for.
I always start blog posts thinking I have a lot to talk about and then about half way through I forget everything I was planning on saying. Boo.

Joel and I are engaged now!!! In half an hour, it’ll have been an entire day! 
I was cleaning my house for the party yesterday and I was stressed out and cranky and I needed to go pick Joel up from his apartment. He told me to come up when I got there, because he needed help carrying some stuff…
When I walked in, he was sitting on the couch, with a bunch of gerbera daisies and limonium on the table! (probably some of my favourite flowers)… and we sat there for a bit just hugging and being all snuggly and he handed me a poem and told me to read it out loud… I was too embarrassed to read it out loud, so I read it to myself. Here’s the poem:
Suzi is the girl for me
I just wish that you could see
Love I feel will always be
You are the love that sets me free
Be it shining outside or raining
With you I won’t be complaining
Me, I’ll smile with you anyway
Forever loving you, day after day
I love the way you smile
Love the way you’ll stay a while
You joke around so easily
So I hope that you’ll bear with me
Will you forgive a simple jest
You always laughed at all the rest
Merry little game by a nerd
Me? I’d read each first word.
And yes, it says merry not marry, but it’s a bad pun and that’s awesome and so us.
I of course said yes… and that I would also Pippin him.
He then told me that he didn’t have a ring because he looked online and at a couple places and just couldn’t find anything sufficiently “Suzi”, so we went ring shopping today!! We found a gooooooorgeous ring that was in the price range and very me. Click here to see it on the website. They have to resize it and stuff, so it won’t be ready until January 15th, but until then, I’m wearing my Claddagh ring as a “placeholder”.
The wedding is probably going to be in May 2010, perhaps the 15th… but that’s not set in stone yet. We need to figure out a venue and all that jazz first!!! 
SOOOOO HAPPY!!!!
