Engament

I have some great news! I got engaged! Yup Damon finally popped the question. It was new years eve (well, really it was January 1st), and we stood together in the living room and he started saying the sweetest things ( I wish I could remember it all..). I do remember he said that he has loved me from the day we met and will always love me and has known that he wants to marry me for a very long time. Then he got down on one knee and said, " Rebecca Lyn Deedon, Will you marry me?" Of course at this point I was in tears and said yes! It was very sweet and romantic! He had even called my mom earlier in the day and asked her permission. We set the date and are getting married July 19th. I have so much planning to do! I've got a good chunk of it done.. Anyways, thats all I have for now..

Christmas and my Dad

December 24th is getting closer and closer. When I was a kid Christmas eve was the greatest ever. We would go to church, and then come home and all us kids got to sleep in hay on the living room floor. On Christmas morning, we had to wait for everyone to get up before we could unwrap presents and dig through our stockings.. My dad was always the last one up, so we would go and jump on the bed to try and wake him up..
As I have gotten older, the magic Christmas eve once held has started to wear off.. I still love Christmas and decorating and everything, but its not the same as when I was a kid.
This year I am actually dreading that day.. You see, Christmas eve is not only the day where I use to sleep in hay and try to stay awake all night for Santa to come, it is also the day my father was born.. I know my dad is someplace better, where he is not in pain anymore, but I still miss him. I have his poetry cd on my ipod, I have just gotten to the point where I don't skip over his stuff anymore.. It was too painful to hear his voice for the longest time.. and now one of my favorite holiday's is going to be sad instead of happy.. I know I should just go on like I use to, that's what he would want, but its hard. I got to thinking about the family members that send Christmas cards my way, and I will be getting one less this year.. I won't be receiving a card from my dad this year. Not a card or a phone call..
I hope everyone else out there can enjoy their Christmas.. I will do my best. After all I do have a new man in my life and this will be our first Christmas together. Guess I will just have to make some new memories..

Angel rip off?

OK, So there is a new show starting this fall (next Friday to be exact) called Moonlight. Its about a Vampire turned good in L.A. California, who is a private detective. Sound familiar anyone? It should! A good vampire in L.A. who is a private detective, hmm.. yeah that's been done before, a show called Angel. I saw the preview for this show last night and was completely upset by it. I know people copy other shows, like all the law and crime shows, but come on seriously? You just can't copy Angel! I know any die hard fan of the Buffy/Angel series would love to see either on of those shows come back, but I don't think they would appreciate a copy cat show. I say this show should be boycotted! Don't watch it! OK I'm done now...

Birthday!

Yesterday, I turned 25. My wonderful boyfriend surprised me with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and a gift card to a bookstore. We started the day with breakfast out and a trip to the mall to spend my gift card. We ended up at the build a bear store, where I got my birthday bear. His name is Harley. It was wonderful to spend the day with my boyfriend
