YAAAAAY!

Yay Panda thanks for brining the pic back.

And now for the news:

So Andy came back to visit for Thanksgiving and the last day he was here we went to the Field Museum in Chicago to hang out and kill some time before I had to take him back to O'Hare. We walked around for awhile and then decided to go outside and walk around a little bit. There's a metal dinosaur skeleton outside the museum that Andy and I had taken our pictures by on one of our first dates (on that occasion, we'd gone all the way to Chicago to see the museum, only to find it closed so we ended up just taking silly pictures by the dinosaur and going home). So anyways I knew something was up since that morning Andy had bought me flowers and cookies from Piggly Wiggly, and he hardly ever buys me flowers (not even Piggly Wiggly flowers), so I'm a little nervous. We get to the dinosaur, and I feel like I have to say something, so I say, "So, do you want to take a picture?"

Andy says, "sure. Do you want to marry me?"

Me: "of course I want to marry you!!! :P"

so that's it. we're engaged!

YAAAAAY!!!!


he even bought me a ring!!! It's cool too; we found it at an antique shop--it's from 1935 and so it has some really cool art-deco design to it but it's not huge and gaudy. so yay! I'm happy.

And as you all know, this can only mean one thing:


DIRTY NURSE PARTY!!!!


I'm thinking the party probably won't be until Memorial Day weekend, because I'm going to be busy with school and wedding plans and whatnot (i.e. trying to have the nicect easiest wedding while not disappointing too many people). Ugh, I really don't want to have to think about it. I feel like I ought to do something tho, like a picnic reception or something. I just don't want to stress about it or spend a lot of money on something I can't really afford.

so that's that.

if anyone wants to celebrate my engagement this weekend, i'm thinking of coming up on Saturday night. Maybe we can all go somewhere and get all sorts of drunk. I mean come on!!! I fucking got engaged!!!
