Great News!
It's been kind of a whirlwind of activity lately, which is why I really haven't had time to post. First of all, I have officially graduated from grad school. Seems kind of surreal, but I am an actual adult out in the real world now. Yikes. I have been working at the site where I've been doing my internship. I love counseling those sex offenders. Seriously, it's been great. Just really busy.
And now for the big news . . . I'm engaged! Woo-hoo! Boy Wonder asked me on Saturday night. It was wonderful and completely unexpected (well maybe not completely). We had gone to the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC as a graduation present. It was nice to get away for a few days and relax a little. It was at night before we were leaving the property. We had taken the Candlelight Christmas tour and before we left, we stopped by this pond on the property. He said we were just stopping to make out, which was fine with me. I'll spare you the sappy details, but he asked me to marry him! And after a few careful seconds of consideration, I decided to say yes. The ring is beautiful. It's a sapphire. I've always wanted a sapphire engagement ring. After the propsal, I couldn't stop looking at it. I kept looking down to make sure it was there. I'm just so unbelievably happy. I just can't believe I'm a french word now . . . I'm someone's fiancee. Isn't that crazy?
So I've only been engaged since Saturday and I'm already getting obsessed with the details. I feel like there is so much to do. Last night we did set a date. It's set for September 20th, 2008. We still have to pick a place and everything. But now that we've done that (and gotten a rough head count with a guest list), it should be easier. We're going to register later this month and I'm totally looking forward to that.
I guess that's it for now. Just wanted to let everyone know how incredibly happy I am.
