As I get closer to Natalie's wedding, I have to admit that marriage is on the brain a lot more than usual. Especially since Josh made the comment about his dream wedding making me his wife. We haven't really talked specifically about marriage since then, but we have talked about the future. Things like, "how many kids do you want?" or "what kind of house do you want to live in?"

We were also talking about the fact that he goes out to California during the summers. I brought it up last night and he said, "If the opportunity for me to go arises, we will talk about it." I was kind of surprised and said, "You mean I get a say?" He said, "Of course you get a say." This made me very happy - much different from when we were younger and he would just tell me that he was going somewhere for x amount of time. Now I get a say. He also said, "And I'm not going unless you go with me."

I guess we can have a grown up relationship. :)

I know it's been some time since I last posted. I'm such a slacker. I got busy with life. Life is good though! Lauren has moved into my second apartment and it's been fun having her around. Things with Josh are going great. 2016 has definitely been a "sweet 16."

Molly and Tim got married on Valentine's Day in Las Vegas. Josh, Natalie, Jason and I flew out for the weekend. We had a good time and the wedding was a lot nicer than I would have expected. We weren't in a cheap little shotgun wedding type of chapel. There was no Elvis impersonators... It was classy, but still not what I would have expected from Molly.

Later that evening Josh and I were walking around the city and we stopped outside of the Bellagio to look at the fountains. I was telling him that the wedding was nice but it wasn't really my style. He asked what my dream wedding was and I told him a few things I wanted. Then I said, "do you have a dream wedding?" I was half joking because I don't really think that guys think all that much about their weddings. He smiled and said, "My dream wedding is the one that gets me married to you."

My heart practically flew out of my chest. I asked him if that was a proposal. He said, "No, but maybe it's something we should talk about." I said, "Maybe it is."
