Introduction

HERE I AM!!!!!!!!

So here it is, my very first blog post as an engaged lady. It's so exciting and I want to introduce myself to you all!

My name is Shawna and I am 28 years old. I'm the oldest of 4 siblings and we are strewn across 3 states while my mom lives in a fourth. I have a very multicultural family. I'm half Greek while my step dad is Mexican. To top it all off, my fiance is half Cuban. I'm hoping to incorporate all of these cultures into our wedding...SOMEHOW.

My job is boring (I work in customer service) but I like to do things like go camping, fishing, dancing, playing in the play ground and stargazing. My favorite food is cheesecake and my favorite color is red...I'm pretty indifferent about long walks on the beach though!

As you can tell from my user name...I'm hoping to lose quite a few pounds - all of which I gained in the last 3 1/2 years *sigh* So I"m here to talk wedding!!!!!!! and hopefully find some community support as well as ideas for my weight loss.

Maybe I'm weird but I wasn't one of those girls who dreamed about my wedding and what I wanted for it. Don't get me wrong...I've always wanted to get married one day. Out of all the things I wanted for my life I wanted to be the wife of the love my life. So going into the wedding planning process is both overwhelming and exciting. It's exciting because I'm open to pretty much anything as I don't have preconceived notions. It's overwhelming because I don't have preconceived notions so ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!1
