Hey Ladies!
My name is Ashley; I'm a junior in college working on my BA in Classics (Latin and Greek), and I'm engaged to the most wonderful man who is also a junior, majoring in History.
We're planning a wedding for July 2011 (the summer after we graduate) before we both go to graduate school-- eek! We're crazy, but we're willing to do just about anything to make it work.
Now my question: My FI had planned on spending the holidays here with me and my family, and we had made some really great plans. Now, it turns out he's going to Seattle with his parents to visit his older brother, who just got promoted by the Navy and will be shipping out in March. I TOTALLY want him to go and spend some time with his brother before he ships out; however, I'm trying to figure out how to make this holiday season special for us since we'll be apart. We had planned on both Christmas and New Year's together, but that isn't really an option now. Do you have any suggestions on things I could do to make this Christmas (our first while engaged) special?
Thanks so much!
