Engaged!!

That's right- I'm engaged. Of course, I spread the news like wild fire because I was so extremely excited, but it's not just a rumor you heard on facebook- it's entirely true.
It happened October 30, 2008 on Matt Moody's front porch. I went over after work and he was just sitting in the rocking chair waiting for me. I didn't think much of it because it was a beautiful day. We sat there and talked about our days and he suddenly had a reason to stand up. As we were standing there, he put his arms around me and started talking about houses. This isn't really anything new because we speak of futuristic things without being realistic about them. So, he mentioned that we need to have a house with a good view from the front porch. We kept discussing the matter until he said "don't hate me, but before we have a house" and he put his arm around me with a ring in his hand. I was in utter disbelief, laughed, and asked if he was serious. It took me over 30 minutes to actually believe what was happening. I was shaking and just kept repeating "Oh my gosh". He told just about everyone we know and no one gave it away. He was going for shock and surprise and he succeeded beyond measure. It's wasn't romantic, it wasn't some intricate plan to confuse me, he just fooled me into believing that he was completely incapable of saving money and then BAM--a ring on my finger.
I enthusiastically said yes once I calmed down and we started planning...there's going to be a wedding this June!!!!
