I'm a 30 something lawyer, who is recently engaged. Oh did I mention that I also changed jobs in the last er month and half, got engaged, am planning and wedding for December and have just a few other things on my plate? Yeah no biggie.
Let's see, what else.... I have two pups whom I love to death and being a fur-mom is the absolute best! I am engaged to le fiance.... an aerospace engineer from Ohio, who became a southern transplant about 13 years ago. He is the best. But I know some of you are dying to hear the story....
So, last Friday I got a text from him saying he wanted to cook dinner. Well I was elated since I work 33 miles from home and commute between 50-70 minutes everyday. When I arrived home, he was cooking up a storm of scallops and risotto! There was s yummy salad full of all my favorite veggies. I was in heaven. After the meal he pulled out two pieces of the most divine chocolate fudge cake. I was stuffed and in heaven again. Then he said there was one more course. Yeah this is where I became excited. Yup, I was so antsy for what I thought was going to be the cheese course!
Well, I mean we had been in Napa the week before and I engorged myself on cheese. Nope, no cheese for me, it was the down on one knee, saying the sweetest words ever, ring in hand course! Did I mention it was complete with the two pups flanking each side of him? Clearly I said yes...
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!! so excited to see this!!!! I know I've said it a bazillion times already, but congrats, sweet dear friend! Hooray for Le Fiance :)! So, so happy for you and all that God has blessed you with. There is nothing better than seeing one of your best friends, find their prince charming and start their own fairytale. Now on to the fun....WEDDING PLANNING!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I have to tell you, when I read your last post on IB, I almost died. I was like, "WHAT?!" And then I read further and learned that you weren't stopping blogging, just starting a new chapter. And I was super relieved.
ReplyDeleteYou are one of my favorites, my friend. And I've loved reading along as you've pieced things back together, and I am so incredibly excited and happy for you as all of these amazing things happen for you. Seriously, the Big Law job, the ring, I'm legitimately waving flags over here.
Anyway, congratulations again on all of this. You're absolutely awesome and you've given me hope that good things are coming, and that all of this, well, it just might be worth it.
