It's Official

Dear Family and Friends,

Dan and I are officially engaged. After deciding that we wanted to marry each other a few months ago, over the weekend the ring arrived from Los Angles and now it is for-reals. Dan had this great winter pic-nic planned at an indoor garden. He had a pic-basket, sparking apple juice, and my favorite, Vitnamese subs. We got to the location only to realize that the garden was not open due to a Christmas party being held at the venue. Dan was remarkably sad and I didn't really understand (well I did have a hunch) why. I kept telling him "baby, we can just come back next week". He would not take this for an answer. No, instead we talked to 2 security guards that both said no. We settled on eating our romantic pic-nic dinner at the food court near the garden. This is all so humerous in retrospect. After dinner we were driving around downtown. Dan stopped at a little park and it was there that we got engaged.

Because we have been planning this wedding stuff for 2 months now, I was not as suprised as was expected. I feel bad about this, but the excitement is growing on me. Here is how excited I am these days:

and a few seconds later:

I've been so excited I haven't been able to rotate the pictures... hee hee.

xoxo,

Patience
