Just for the record, I wasn't even thinking about kids till I saw Tony with his nephews... He is really great with them... patient, understanding, fun...

Whenever they come over, all I hear is TONY!!! =) (He's the coolest uncle in their entire school, they say.)

I can't wait to start a family with him. =)

(So THIS is probably the last blog... please don't forget to vote for us!! We can't have our dream wedding without your help. Thanks again!!)

Recently, I was asked, "How do you know that Andrea is the one true love for you?" I don't think I've ever been asked that question or even really thought of it before. As I've said before, the thought of marriage really scared me a few years ago. It is such a huge step and I never would have thought that I'd be engaged today, ready to marry the love of my life. When Andrea and I first started dating about five years ago, I was never even thinking about marriage or anything serious. I simply met a beautiful, smart, funny, loving person and never thought about where it might lead. She was just so wonderful, and as time passed my love for her grew beyond what I ever even thought possible. She was a part of my life now, she was a part of me, the best part of me. She brought out everything good in me and made my life so beautiful. My anxiety about marriage disappeared at the beautiful sight of her. She is my best friend and my true love, my perfect match.

The love we shared was the love of a lifetime. I would be a fool to let that opportunity pass me up just because I was scared about commitment. As I became more comfortable and even excited about the thought of marriage (with Andrea), I began thinking about the next step, kids (oh man...) =P Kids are a lot of work, I can barely handle my nephews for a day!! But, I started thinking about Andrea again, and how much she puts into our relationship and how much she sacrifices for me. I know that she would do the same for our children. She would be an amazing mother, she would give it her all. We will be a great team and I can't wait.

As far as I know, this is the last blog we will be allowed to post. I wanted to take the time to thank everyone again for checking out our site, for your support and nice comments. We appreciate everything. Thank you to KIIS FM and listeners for making this all possible for us. If we make it to the finals we will need your votes =]. Thanks again.

I was just thinking about some small stuff in our relationship that allows Andrea and I to mesh as well as we do. We just compliment each other so well and it adds to why we're perfect for each other:

- We both love food and enjoy trying different food/restaurants.
- We both love to watch movies.
- We love to explore and travel.
- A lot of times we both like to stay home and relax for the day.
- Andrea always has left overs when we eat and I always finish her left overs for her so it works out perfect.
- Andrea falls asleep early and I stay up later which allows me to play video games for a bit before I sleep without worrying about neglecting her =P.
- Andrea enjoys driving and I don't so that works out. And if she's tired I'll drive and she snuggles up on my arm and sleeps.
- I love cookies, and Andrea loves baking and she makes amazing cookies.
- I am always warm, and Andrea is always cold, so I can keep her warm and she can always wear my jacket without me being cold.
- Even when we have nothing to do, we have a blast just hanging out and goofing around.
- We both have a lot of the same tastes when it comes to food and fashion.
- We love beautiful views, sites, scenery, and we love enjoying them together.
- We both love nature and wildlife.
- We don't watch TV much but when we do we love the same shows, like The Simpsons =P.
- Andrea is terrified of bugs, and I'm good at killing them.
- I am a very calm and mellow person, and Andrea is hyper and anxious, together we find a nice medium.
- And we both love making each other smile, so we're almost always smiling together =P

These are just some of the many reasons why we work so well together. I think it's pretty obvious that we were meant for each other =P. Small stuff like this makes me excited about getting married to Andrea because I just know we will work out so well together as we have for the past five years, and this is only the beginning.

Time travel back to the ‘50s with an evening at a drive-in movie theater, a bowling alley, or a roller-skating rink.  Then go grab a bite to eat at an old fashioned burger joint like Ruby's.  Andrea and I personally love the drive-in movie theater.  It's a really cool experience watching a movie like that and seeing what it was like for our parents/grandparents back in the day.  Try it out if you haven't already!

Yesterday we went to our friend James' wedding. We had a blast! We made a video at the wedding for our blog but unfortunately I couldn't upload the file for some reason. Anyways, we just wanted to say in our video that being at our friend's wedding really got us excited for our own. We could see how happy they were to finally be husband and wife and we can only imagine what that will be like once we are there. We just can't wait until we are in their shoes, which is hopefully in January with your help =P. In our video we also just wanted to thank everyone for their support and nice comments and KIIS FM for this opportunity. This has been a great experience so far and has put some perspective on our own relationship which has allowed us to see what we really have. I cherish Andrea and what we have even more (didn't think it was possible) after doing this contest and I thank everyone for that. I hope that we can be an encouragement for new couples out there. Relationships are a lot of work, but if both people are putting their heart and soul into it, you can develop something beautiful and eternal. Thanks again!

P.S. Here's a little bonus video I uploaded since the other one didn't work! Enjoy =P
