Our First Beantown New Year at the Wayside Inn

After nearly two years of dating, we are finally engaged! We've been talking about where we are going to get married, and this is the frontrunner -- Longellow's Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts.

Judi and I spent Thanksgiving together in the snowy weather of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Jimmy flew out from Boston, MA and Judi and her kids flew out from Vacaville, CA.

We spent time with family for a few days and put up the Christmas tree. A big snowstorm the Tuesday before Thanksgiving meant that Judi's kids - who never get any snow in California - got to experience a real Wyoming winter.

One day after Thanksgiving (November 23), at approximately 2:30pm Judi and Jimmy got engaged at Vedauwoo, Wyoming. It was a chilly 17 degrees with wind chills making the temperature hover around zero.


How better to ask for one's hand in marriage than to quote Sylvester Stallone from Rocky I. That's what I did when I asked Judi. I said, "Quoting Rocky Balboa, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind marrying me too much." This was a photo from when I worked as Governor Schwarzenegger's E-Communications Director. Sylvester Stallone was in the office last year as he gave the Governor's staff a sneak preview of his latest movie, "Rocky Balboa."

It was in Governor Schwarzenegger's Office (the mailroom) where Jimmy and Judi first met. They mainly talked about sports in their first conversation. Jimmy claims that Judi instantly confessed her undying love for him; however, the TRUE story is QUITE different according to Judi! Regardless of how they met, the duo has been inseparable in mind and spirit regardless or "irregardless" of how many miles separate them.
