![]() Although the first 48 hours or so of our vacation were spent relaxing and lying by the pool (see yesterday's post), the past 24-hrs have been rather eventful. I wanted to share the news yesterday, but ended up having to wait until we'd notified a few friends and family first...they've now been notified so here's my latest news (no, surprisingly it doesn't have to do with yoga or painting): Ben and I got engaged yesterday (!!!). To those of you who know us well--and who know that we've been dating for 6.5 years at this point--this may not come as a surprise to you, but it was to me! We'd recently talked about getting engaged next summer at the earliest, and Ben is soooo bad at surprises/keeping secrets that I thought I would definitely know when he was about to do it, but for once, he was smooth :) I'm going to save all of your gag reflexes by not typing out all of the mushy little details of the proposal here, and I'm not sure I want to be one of the people who share tons of pics of the ring all over the internet yet, either (although I do love looking at those pics...), so I thought I'd just share a few fun/sweet/funny highlights of the experience and a pic or two, in my usual, bulletted format...
So there you have it...two little weirdos who found each other in this crazy world. Isn't it nice when that happens? I couldn't be happier!
Happy 4th of July, everyone! And in the words of Katy Perry, don't forget that "baby you're a firework!" Namaste :) Mary Catherine
