SOoooooooooooooo I have some wonderful news, that I want to share with my IHD family.

IM ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things have been so wonderful lately, since the move especially. He has really stepped up, and we have been communicating so well. We are finally in a place where I truly to believe we can work through the "good times and bad times" so he asked me to marry him, and I accepted.  (He even asked my daddy for my hand!!!!! How Sweet is that???)

No idea when this will happen... I know we will probably take our time... Im super nervous as this will be the one and only time i ever get married. (and we have to save up too!)

and without further ado... the ring :)

Thank you all! Im so excited.
We are thinking about doing things a little differently for our wedding. we might go to the court house for the actual wedding, and then have a big party like reception another time, and invite friends and family to just the reception... seems like thats the cheapest way LOL and also, i am not so sure i can handle doing both wedding and reception in the same day... i get wore out easily, and also hate crowds of people... not a good combo!

this wedding stuff is hard work!
I think we have it pretty well planned out though! now just to save some money!

I thought Id show you all the dress I picked out! The sash will be black though, and I got a black petticoat for underneath. (since pj  is wearing black pants and shirt, white tie, and a retro white suit jacket with black accents (sexy!)
