florida + kristina - REMIXXX

so in a random act of crazy kindness a stranger on youtube found the video i made for florida and kristina and was so moved by them that he decided to remake the video clip with some new music, new editing and some star wars inspired text. i wondered, how did this guy know that florida loves star wars so much? then i remembered fla was wearing a shirt and hoodie that were star wars related haha.
i had initially uploaded it on youtube but because of the song not being my own or something youtube wouldnt allow the music play but i just left it there anyway.

*i did not have anything to do with this. seriously.

florida + kristina

on 5.27.10 geoff and i had the honor of helping florida out with his proposal. he stopped by my office and dropped of a container of rose pedals, a bag of baby candles, a digital camera and a video camera. the man was well prepared.
i couldnt be happier for them and fully support this marriage! florida is one of the greatest friends geoff and i have ever had and for him to find someone with as big of heart as him is so amazing and heaven sent. and ive never seen him happier, soft, lovey and considerate with anyone like he is with kristina. i love kristina and florida a lot!

heres a quick video of what i was able to catch on camera. the editing is rough but thats what you get with imovie. hope you can still feel the love.




p.s- id post the video from my youtube but i guess the song isnt WMP approved or something so there is no audio if you play it with them. lame.

engagement pic overload

Heres the good, the bad and the ugly of our engagement session with Jaggerphotography! aka heath and gray! heath is one of the o.g. sheshack members and also a long time friend of geoff. i love heather. and her and grayson are so so SO talented in everything. and a super cute couple. its borderline sickening how adorable they are. they moved away to washington a while ago so when they said they would do our engagement pics geoff and i were so stoked. the first time we tried to do them in january we got rained out. i was so bummed but luckily they were coming back a month later and this is what we got :) ive never had anyone take pictures of me before and i always feel borderline ridiculous when i try to take one of myself so this was so weird. especially the kissing part. geoff claimed he didnt know what to do but all his band photo shoot experiences mustve kicked in because he looks so damn good! or maybe im just bias. either way you cant deny the boy is so photogenic.

8 more days....

betrothed

on new years eve night geoffrey proposed to me. i, of course, said yes!


i was kinda tipped off on wednesday night. we were all eating at chipotle and melissa asked me what we were doing for NYE and i told her how we had plans to get dinner at the beach and that it was geoffs idea to go take a walk on the beach. well i caught florida giving geoff this look of 'ooooooooh-thats-when-its-gonna-happen'. but i just pushed it out of my head and tell myself its prob nothing.
then my mom just wants to pop in early the next morning to say hi. riiight....
then the whole way out to the beach geoffs making jokes about proposing... "what if i said 'will you eat chipotle with me for the rest of my life?' or 'will you hump my bod for the rest of your life?'"
so im thinking this is totally going to happen tonight!
and he asks if i want to go walking before or after dinner.... ummmm BEFORE! i want to be engaged now. and then im thinking, crap im so not even going to cry or be surprised now because i know its going to happen.

so we are walking around at the wedge and the moon is out casting shadows and there isnt anyone at the beach. so perfect. we climb the lifeguard tower and he starts asking me if im ready for all the stuff we are planning and wanting... telling me mushy things and my mind is racing. im telling myself to enjoy this moment and at the same time im thinking ASK ME!

he gets down on one knee and says "will you marry me?" and flips open the box. a bright little light in that box comes popping on and then flickers and fades out! haha geoffs all, " ahhhh... my light!" and we start busting up laughing! it was just so perfect. and my eyes were welling up so bad i couldnt have even seen it if that light had worked. but wow did he do an excellent job picking out a ring! i was expecting a silver band but he went faaaar beyond my expectations! he asked my mom for permission the day after he got home from tour and they went ring shopping the monday before he asked me. im impressed. i never knew they were meeting secretly! haha

i still cant believe its finally happening. im relishing these last few months spelling my last name as valdespino.

wedding planning has already begun. march 20th 2010. we want to get married before he leaves for tour in april and my brother is getting married in may and i dont want to have a summer wedding because its soooo hot here and i dont want to wait till fall/winter. so march it is! its going to be a small wedding of just our family and closest friends. so excited.

thanks for all the kind words and support!

im so blessed to get to marry him and love him so much. Thanks God!
