I'm Engaged!

Wow! I can't believe that it is official! :) I have been engaged for a week and one day. Brian came up and surprised me last Thursday, after having had a chat about being spontaneous (is that spelled right?) and making small sacrifices...let me just tell you that I feel bad because he has been studying LIKE CRAZY for his huge licensing test which happens to be today.

But...here's how it all happened...

I was just getting home from a meeting (close to six) and decided to give Brian a call back. He was acting very strange on the phone, distant like he was trying to hid something. I had asked him what he was doing and his response was that he was studying. I KNEW this wasn't true because it sounded like he was in a car. But I played along with it. I kept asking him lots of different questions though. He was doing his best to hid it.

I let it go for a while and he called me close to seven. He said he was going "to the clubhouse" to do some research, which again I thought was weird because he would never tell me these things.... but I went along with it. I decided to call my mom and ask her if she knew anything. She said she had no clue what he was up to. I didn't know if I believed her either...HAHAHA...but yeah she didn't know....

So around eight Brian called back and said he just saw me walking in my apartment. CREEPY. I peeked through my blinds and there he was in his car. I was like "you are crazy" and then let him in. He had a HUGE teddy bear with him and I kept telling him how crazy he was for driving three hours on a Thursday.

I sort of had a feeling that he might pop the question, but wasn't so sure if he would. He told me he was being spontaneous and making small sacrifices. (AWWWW) Then he said there was something else he has been wanting to ask. I jumped up and he asked me to sit. He started tearing up (like I am right now as I write this) and told me how much he loved me. He asked me to marry him and I said YES!

We are so happy and are excited to start planning. More details to come!

YAY

MIA AGAIN

To my faithful readers....all three of you.... sorry about my lack of posts lately! Things have been crazy with teaching, spending time with family and friends, and lack of time to post!

Summer flew by and I am now back in the swing of school. I have thirteen wonderful students this year and am loving the small group (most of the time).

My best friend got married on September 18th! I'll get posting tonight to show lots of pictures!

For now, just know that I am still alive!
