Before I begin this post, here are the answers to the last blog's guessing game...which only got one guess so thank you Aunt Sherry! The first picture was tobacco, the second was the tip of a pen and the third was a butterfly up close. I'll try that again another time, hopefully with a better turn out.
So, super exciting news! Today's "B" title is a huge hint for what happened to me less than a week ago. It includes a nice piece of jewelry and a party in the future...guesses? Betrothed!
My boyfriend of two years and seven months (today in fact) decided to take the daring plunge and asked me to marry him. It was a complete shock and he did an awesome job surprising me. I'm still getting used to the idea...saying he's my "fiancé" now is going to take some practice for me to be comfortable with it.
I'm not going to share the details; I'm sorry but I like to keep that memory to a minimal, just in my mind and vocalization, not in print. I love it and I want to remember it in vivid imagery rather than black and white. I will say it wasn't typical at all, it was completely cheesy, and there was no romance involved until I saw the ring (SURPRISE), turned around and bombarded him with hugs and kisses.
The first few days after were bewildering. It was odd to become engaged and then leaving my new fiancé knowing I won't see him for a week because of his work schedule. I came home and called family members, told my two closest friends, and then the next day decided to share the news with social media. I had to keep telling myself not to post a picture of the ring either, but I caved two days later. It's so beautiful I had to share it with the rest of my family and friends who are not close by.
Yesterday, I started a new board on the lovable Pinterest website, which is ridiculously addicting! I can't stop! I was never the girl to dream up the wedding she wanted...I'm still trying to figure that out. So for right now, my Pin board is filled with random ideas, but I'm sure a pattern will come alive soon enough. I may not know what I'm looking for but the excitement is certainly taking over me.
At the moment, my fiancé(so weird!) and I are starting our house hunt before anything else. We want to make sure our future has it's building blocks in place before we really start planning our wedding. Like today's title says...for the rest of your life :)
KNG :)
