Engagement

I haven't been writing very often... obviously. Since the last time I blabbed on here Obama was successfully elected to be our next president, E has pretty much decided that he's going to enlist in the air force, and oh yeah... I got engaged!

E proposed to me tonight after getting home from work, and I of course said yes! Just a couple hours beforehand we were texting back and forth about how important it was to both of us that we get married before he gets deployed (if he joins the air force), but I had no idea that he had actually just picked up my ring that day! When he got home I got up to give him a hug, and he got down on one knee in our living room and asked me to marry him! I felt like such a tard; here I was this whole time thinking he hadn't really devoted much thought to our future, when in reality he had been saving his money and waiting for my ring to get done being customized.

It was too late to call my parents by the time E proposed, so I went ahead and called my best friend and future maid of honor. She was ecstatic! My other friend that was there didn't seem that excited, but she just ended her engagement about a month ago, so I can kind of understand. Tomorrow morning I think I'll start with a phone call to my grandma and aunt in Rochester, then work my way to my mom, and eventually my dad. You know, in order of most likely to be happy for me to least...

I'll write more later. Right now I'm absolutely beat from a day of homework, the surprise of E's proposal, and of course our celebration of the proposal...
