Ok so it finally happened! I'm engaged! Today we have been dating for exactly 8 months, so I guess it hasn't been that long, but I've been waiting for it for awhile. I've known it's been coming because I knew he had the ring. My ring, which I love, belonged to Landon's grandmother. When we were looking at rings a few months ago his mom mentioned I could have it if I wanted it. It was love at first sight and was exactly what I'd been looking for. So he got it, had it resized, cleaned, replated in white gold...all that good stuff. And I knew it was done, so I was just waiting (impatiently) for the proposal. So this morning, I was awoken with a question....will you come help me make breakfast? Not exactly what I wanted to do, but then I saw the dozen red roses and gift and card. It is our 8 month anniversary, so this was not an unusual thing to see. When I opened the gift I pulled out a stuffed penguin (I love penguins!) that was actually a gift card holder. Inside the little pocket where a gift card should be was a note that said "Will you marry me Katie" I have to admit I thought it was a joke at first. Then I looked at him, and knew he was serious. So I said yes! Then he told me to look closer and I saw my ring tied around the penguins neck. So I told him he would have to take it off and ask me for real (I was crying by this time) so he did! And then he put the ring on my finger and it is just perfect! Then he made me breakfast, and it was delicious! So that is my proposal story! Not exactly the huge romantic proposal I was kinda hoping for, but it was cute. And now I no longer have a boyfriend, I have a fiance! No plans other than the ones in my head. We have to pick a date then I will start planning and keeping this updated with what is going on. I'm actually thinking the wedding will be happening at the end of next month, kinda fast, but I'm excited! Ok, that's it for now....there is so much to do!
