So I'm going to get married. Jen and I talked about it and have agreed that we aren't getting any younger and we'ld both like to commit to each other for life. We understand that we won't have a traditional marriage by any means but I think we're both committed to working through any problems that will arise. Even though she already knows about it I still plan to do the whole proposal thing. My mother is going to look for the ring my father gave her and if she can't find it then I'm going to have to go buy one. I'm pretty poor so I was thinking about spending around $1000 for it. Hope that's not too cheap. Don't know why I'm even worried about it because Jen has indicated she would rather have one from one of the women in my family anyways and even brought up QVC as a good place to get one. I guess I'm a little old fashioned and think the amount of money I spend on the ring reflects the amount of committment I have to her. I'll try not to think that way because I'm way more than a $1000 committed to her. So I want to do the proposal in San Francisco on the Golden Gate Bridge. You know, somewhere that will be memorable. Then I want to take her back to a nice Hotel room and have my way with her all night long. I want her to cry happy tears when I get on my knees, and I want her to have the best possible life I can offer her. Neither of us are real materialistic and we have somewhat equally paying jobs so it feels like we are going the same direction in life. Oh so much to write, but I think I'll spread it out some.

Living in California I have observed alot of Latinos and have always been amazed at how they always seem to have money. I'm constantly seeing them pay with $100 bills and they are an enthusiastic crowd at strip bars and statistcly they send huge amounts of money back home. So how is it they can do that if farm labor is such a shitty paying job? Just something to ponder I guess...
