Exciting!

So, many of you have either heard rumors, or know for a fact, or have seen something that makes you suspect that life for me is changing drastically.

I'm engaged.

Yeah, i just said that. I happened on Saturday, but i'm still in shock! Holy cow!

Last night, B and I went on a date. He'd come into town for the holiday, and at the time when we were planning this, i was halfway expecting to go to a high school reunion (but i didn't go). It had been raining for two days straight with very little let up (the "ponds" soon became "lakes" soon became "seas." it's RIDICULOUS!) I have my nieces in town because my brother decided he would go to his high school reunion (though a lot was cancelled due to this insane rain. no thunderstorms! just rain!) After getting away from the fam, B took us to our favorite local restaurant, and we ate. Typical date. Well, we decided we wanted dessert, so we got it to go (and he doesn't like strawberries on his cheesecake... i do. He got it on the side *GRIN!*) Eventually, we trekked to walmart for dr pepper and ice and then we returned to his hotel (because EVERYTHING outside was wet and/or underwater). He admitted that he was planning a picnic by the pond near his hotel, but it literally rained on his parade, so we moved it indoors. Two bites into the cheesecake, he pulls me up into an semihug/dance thing and says "I know i've told that i never expected to find love again, but here you are." and other stuff to that effect. I soak it in. it's like, required or something! and then he sits me on his bed, turns around, opens a drawer, pulls out a box, and gets on one knee. "*adventurer*. I love you." i'm giggling, but i manage to respond with an "I love you, too!" and then he starts to laugh. "This is going to be really cheesey, but i am gonna say it anyway.... JOIN ME! and together we can rule the galaxy as husband and wife! *adventurer*, will you marry me?" "Um, YEAH!"

and then we finished our cheesecake.

and then we started calling people, and met up with my family. I didnt even tell them, they just knew! it was crazy! but they were all happy, and it was worth it.

I am engaged!!!!!!
