I went over to Jenna’s house. I took Jenna in my arms and embraced her.

Me: I really like you a lot.
Jenna: I like you too.
Me: I’m really sure about us.
Jenna: Me too.
Me: Do you want to be with me?
Jenna: Yes.

We hung out for a little bit. I thought it was great that she was now my girlfriend (so I thought).

I was getting ready to go to Porterville for a week, and Jenna gave me some cupcakes to give to my family. She walked me to my car.

Me: I was really nervous back there.
Jenna: Why?
Me: Because, it had been a while since I had asked someone to be my girlfriend.
Jenna: YOU WERE ASKING ME OUT?!
Me: wait. umm. no?
Jenna: No really, were you?
Me: Yeah.
Jenna: OKAY!!

I drove her back to her house, and I saw her go inside and saw a big smile on her cousins face like Jenna had just told her that we were now together.

A year ago tonight.

I’m so lucky and blessed :)

I sure have slacked off on updating my blog. Here are some of the things that have gone down the past couple months.

Well, right off the bat – Jenna and I are engaged! I purposed to her on Tom’s Bench, from 500 Days of Summer. She didn’t see it coming, so my plan worked! We got engaged on July 12th, but I’m still overly joyous about it and can’t believe I’m going to spend the rest of my life with such an amazing lady.

This summer I worked a lot. My brother Sam got married. I got an Air Conditioner for my room, but the electricity bill didn’t go up (weird). House stuff is on hold. Whatever.

Really, besides work, I’ve just been relaxing. Saturdays I go to the gym. I try to go more often, if I can get away from the work I have and go downstairs to the gym at work. It doesn’t always happen that way though.

Most of my time is spent working, or planning a wedding with Jenna. We are looking at 10/01/11 as the wedding date, but that might change depending on venue scheduling.

Things are just really amazing right now.

Now that I have the awkward “sorry I haven’t posted in a while” post done, hopefully I’ll get around to posting more often. Right now, I have dishes to clean. :)

I’m still working a lot and taking “some” time off of house hunting (still reviewing listings that I get sent). I’ve been giving myself Sunday’s off so that I can focus on other things outside of work, such as Church, my beautiful girlfriend Jenna, and just living it up.

I’ve really liked the past couple Sundays. They’ve been eventful and full of activities. Last week we went to church and then went to IKEA and got some stuff to hang on my walls in the apartment (looks like I’ll be here for a while). After that, we came back and went for a bike ride on the beach.

It was pretty windy, so we didn’t get to go for that long of a bike ride before having to head back. It was still fun thought. Jenna was having a hard time pedaling her beach cruiser, while I was having no problems with my road bike (thank God for gears).

We went on later on that night and got some more frames and took some photos I took of NYC and got them developed and hung them up. I’m doing a “big city” theme in my place. I have a huge picture of Downtown LA, and a couple pictures I got of the skyline from NYC, and then those ones I took.

Today we went to Church, and then hit up Crystal Cove and checked out the Tide Pools. It was pretty fun.

Jenna wrote out first initials in the sand, and then quickly cleared it with her feet:

… and then she looked at my like this:

After checking out the Tide Pools, we went for a walk on the beach. It was a nice, quiet, natural beach.

I have the most beautiful girlfriend ever:

We drove back to Long Beach taking PCH the whole way. It was a nice drive.

We ended the night with Chipotle, Episodes of The Office (I’m getting Jenna caught up).

It was a pretty rough week, but things are pretty darn amazing right now :)
