Last Saturday, after a nice little date night, DD and I walked home and stopped in Campus Martius Park. To my shock and awe, he got down on one knee, and showed me this:
Obviously (since it’s on my finger), I said yes.
For now, that’s about all I can muster up for a blog post. It’s been a long week, and has only been made longer by my sudden and immediate interest in planning a wedding. I’ve gone into full-on project manager mode and much to my friends’ surprise, already have a guest list and several potential venue choices, even though we’re not looking at getting married until April 2012.I keep telling DD that I’ll calm down once we’ve got the location and date locked in, but somehow I doubt that will be the case.
But, with all of that planning, there hasn’t been much time to sit and write a blog post. So, I’ll be back. In the meantime, gaze at the pretty bling. It’s what I like to do in my spare time. That, and think about how adult I suddenly feel.

CONGRATS! I’m so happy for you. The ring is gorgeous.

Yay, congrats Super Girl! !!!!
I’ve gotta say, I absolutely loved those first few months of being engaged. I pretty much didn’t stop looking at my ring. And I made sure to have FUN planning the wedding. It helped that Sweets was interested in helping, too.
You’ve got such a bright and adventurous road ahead of you. Top three things to nail down first: Venue, Dress, Photographer. Those were the three things we needed to do farthest out from the wedding date.
