Howdy! I got engaged 2 weeks ago and It's time to make a P.J!!! This will also be a mini motivation p.j. as I've lost 60 pounds since last yr and I need 50 more to be 150!! Just in time for a wedding don't you think?
Who are we?
Venessa -I am 30 yrs old born and raised in South Texas but now living with Chad and his family in Eastern Shore, MD. Back in Texas I worked at HEB for about 7yrs and let me tell you, I miss it so much! Your co-workers and customers (at least some of them,) are like family. Plus I'm a sucker when it comes to very old companies. It was established in 1905!! I now work for a water testing company called Lamotte. Established 1919! It's factory work and I work in The CD Lab using a BB dropper and Welding disks that test pools, spas, large bodies of water etc but I'm pretty set. They treat you real good there, most small companies do. HEB wasn't a small company but they still had family values. I'm a lover of all things, Disney, Anime, Video Games, Japanese Culture, Vinyl Toys, Mexican food, cats, miniatures, dinosaurs and imported and local craft beers and wines.
Chad -is 27yrs old and works for the county's IT department. He takes cares of all of the schools computers and he just loves it. He was born but not raised in West Virgina. He's just so sweet and caring and KING OF CORNY! He's very family oriented which I'm really not so when I first met his family it was so overwhemling to me and was amazed at what a real family can feel like. He's also a realist and logical thinker which keeps me on my toes and he's helped me so much these last two years with learning to budget. If you save your pennies, you can have anything you want. He's a lover of all things nerd, Disney, cats and Mexican Food.
How We Met:
We met through the Facebook Group Page Walt Disney World College Program Summer Alumni 2009. It was going to be my 3rd and his 2nd program. Under Discussions in the "Get to know each other thread," his post caught my eyes. That summer I was to be working Quick Service Food and Beverage and he was to be working Custodial but back in 2005, he worked at Animal Kingdom doing QSFB! So I wanted to know every single little thing about it and so I made the first move and started to ask him questions.
This was the first time we talked ever.
That went on for a while, which then led to him adding me to face book as a friend which then led to us moving our conversations to Aim! We talked almost every day after that until it was time to arrive in Orlando. We exchanged numbers and he thought it'd be a great idea to meet up the night before we check in and I was up for it. Later we found out that we were both staying at All Stars Movies. The day we met, I was super nervous because that's how I am when I meet all people. All I remember from meeting him was shaking his hand (while looking down to the floor,) him wearing his blue wii remote shirt and meeting his mother. We jumped on a bus, went to downtown Disney and talked some while at Ghiradelli's. Then we went back to the resort since it started to rain even harder and in the lobby he said he had fun and that we should meet up for breakfast the next day. To my surprise after breakfast he offered to take me to check in at Vista Way! I was originally going to take a taxi and he was "there's no need for that, I have a car." It was great! I was more at ease by then and we had loads of laughs while getting there. Even while we were trying to find parking at VistaWay, one of the CM's on a segway came up to our car and without thinking assumed we were trying to find registration for married couples while on the program!!
We looked at each other and then to the cm stating we're not married, and just looking for a parking spot. He apologized and directed us to a spot near by. Little did that cm know huh!!?
After out first day of check in, we were inseparable! And that summer was the most amazing summer I have ever experienced. A month later in June while resort hopping, we plopped down next to each other at one of the yellow couches at the Yacht and Beach Club lobby. We were tired and it was yucky and humid so eventually we just drifted off to sleep believe it or not. Next thing I felt sent a rush all over and it was awesome! His hand was holding mine. We were really quiet on the bus ride home and as we got to his apartment door, he said he had a wonderful time today and reached in for a kiss. And that was the start. Our program was ending in Aug and as we know not all relationships last after the summer, but he was 100% sure that we had met for a reason so he wanted to have a long distance relationship so for about a year, we visited each other back in forth! We talked every night and in 2010 I was doing my 4th program and that's when I got the chicken pox and had to leave early. Having no place to go, chad and his family took me in and I've been living here since then.
Us on our big yellow couch (we just came back 2 weeks from our 2yr anni trip and they have been replaced by a ugly brown, devastated!)
While riding Snow Whites Scary Adventure
From two weeks ago in our home park <3 I worked Innoventions here and he does custodial in Future World.
The 2nd ride we rode together when meeting! It's a Small World!
Sorry for the novel but if you read it, thank you and next up is the Proposal!
