Oh, John...

It's official.  John has lost his wedding band.... 

I was waiting a while to say anything in hopes that it might appear, but it has not.  He lost it January 9th, the day I went on travel for work.  I was then gone six days and heard nothing of him losing it and of course I noticed it within minutes of getting off the plane when I got back.  So my husband didn't even make it a month with his wedding band.  I haven't quite made up my mind how I feel about it.  I did, however, mention that Valentine's Day was not far away and maybe he could  make it up to me then.  Silly boys...

Prepare to be dazzled...

Sometimes I try to make things a surprise. And most times I fail horribly because I immediately want to tell everyone. Which is basically what happened with my latest news....

I got engaged last night! Woohoo! I am so excited and ridiculously giddy I can't even begin to describe. Many have requested the story, so here it is.

John and I are really laid back people. The to the point, plain and simple kind. Which suits both of us fabulously. Last night we rode out to my mom and dad's house and had dinner. Did some visiting with the sweetest nephew ever and ate some yummy food. John and dad were talking outside by the grill having a few beverages, and my sister, Natalie, immediately knew something was up. She started asking me a million questions about John and I getting married and I told her it was going to happen I just wasn't 100% sure when. Well, we ate dinner and went home. Pretty much as soon as we walked in the door John took my hands and got down on one knee and proposed. And I squeed, um a lot haha. It was so sweet and so us. I of course immediately had to get on the phone and spread the good news. I have also pranced up and down the hall at work to make sure everyone has seen my newly acquired bling. Which is freaking gorgeous if I do say so myself!!

I promise a better picture. So I had a photo shoot with my ring and couldn't get anything that really got my ring and didn't make my hand look totally awkward.  It might not be a better picture...

Can I say that it made me day for all of my ibffs to be so excited for me? Because it totally did! Love you all big time!
