Engaged!

It's official! Gary and I are engaged! And Hell didn't even freeze over! Ha-ha! I am going to marry my best friend and the love of my life, protector and provider of all things wonderful and beautiful. Not to mention the smartest guy in the world.

We haven't set a date yet, but hope to in the next few weeks. We're thinking August, which would be perfect because that's also our *dating anniversary* - which I realize is sorta corny, but this year will be 5 years in August - it just works.

So to all my friends and family who may still be scratching their heads - just trust me when I say we have done LOTS of talking and figuring and negotiating over the past month and this was not just a spur of the moment decision. OK?! I am absolutely THRILLED beyond recognition! And I FINALLY get to go shopping for a certain fluffy white dress!

...and it wouldn't be right if I didn't give a HUGE shout out to my boog for picking out such a GORGEOUS ring! I love it almost as much as I love you! xoxo
