long story short (go here for our new website), dave proposed to me. i'm so relieved to finally come out with it all! the engagement was perfect, something i'll cherish for the rest of my life.
i've been going a bit nuts here. we had been tentatively planning to do a wedding in june out here, small but in california, small still doesn't mean less expensive. the more and more we thought about it, the more we realized we really didn't want to mess with all the wedding crap. we just want to be married. that's when i started pricing everything. we truly realized we could be a couple in santa barbara, so we wanted to do it there. i sat down and started actually planning it, and immediately lost my mind. we talked and the option of doing it on the cruise presented itself. voila.
i didn't want to announce anything on fb or to our general group of friends until we were formally engaged. it's weird telling people you're getting married and then have that awkward moment where the stare at your left hand, only to see my gnawled off stubs and no diamond. luckily i no longer have to do that. and if you couldn't tell, i'm a little proud of the one he got me. totally caught me off guard. in a great way!
the fam is pretty excited. the wedding will be on the beach of grand cayman island. 2.23.12. great date. i was going for 2.22.12, but it turns out that's ash wednesday and you can't get married in jamaica on ash wednesday. keep up-to-date with wedding stuff on the website i linked above. i already found my dress even! found it, tried it on, ordered it, and paid for it all in one day. i'm good.
had to close with a cute fam pic from the camping trip. it's not the best of the ones we took, but all the others are annoying because my shadowed arm take up the entire bottom and it drives me crazy.
