HE WENT TO JAREDS!!!

No really...He did.

Holy COW...Yeah I know. I didn't see it coming either. We, The Guy and I, are getting MARRIED. and I am so totally frazzled I can't EVEN tell you! I knew I wanted to marry him, he is perfect for me in every way. I just never thought, due to conversations about dating for a year before things get 'serious', that it would happen so soon.

On November 28th we were walking along center street looking at Christmas Lights when we decided to duck under a gathering (gaggle? horde? copse?) of pine trees. The trees had created a sparkling canopy of lights above them. Looking up through the branches of christmas lights has always been a favorite activity of mine. We could see our breath in the air it was so cold. Zach feeling nervous bent to "tie his shoes". I, being unsuspecting and oblivious, turned to find him on one knee holding a small box out to me. I held my breath completely overwhelmed, he opened the box and asked me if I would marry him.
I was stunned, but not stunned enough not to answer " Yes yes yes yes yes." as many times as I could.

What to do when you're in love...

What do you do when you are in love? This seems to be a constant question I hear and Feel for myself. What DO you do when you are in love? It depends on the other person i suppose, Is it a love that is returned? Is it unrequited love? Is it the love of a sister for a brother? is it the love for a best friend? All these factor into the question of what you do.
For me it is the first, a love that is returned. I am totally and completely lost in The Guy. He is the most important person in my life. We have talked about the big M and plan on it for next year. However, Things are not official in anyway yet. My sister L put it correctly yesterday, I am in Limbo. Not a girlfriend, not quite a fiancee. All things happen in due time, or so i have heard. I will just have to practice a little more patience, and little more balance, and a little more restraint. Heaven knows all of the above will be a chore since i am neither Patient nor good at balancing. With how i feel about the Man, all things will turn out.
Til Next time!

Old Dog, New Tricks...

So, Here's the thing. I think that even though you are an adult you should always try to learn something new. Choose something you have always wanted to do, maybe learn the piano, or how to ski, or maybe fencing. You may think 'there's no way i can learn this now, i'm too old. It might be embarrassing'. That is the WORST thing you could do! Don't be self concious, get out there and do it! me, i'm going to learn me some Italian! I have always wanted to learn a second language, i have even taken some french and spanish (very little and a LONG time ago). So this is my chance to redeem myself! La Citta Eterna here i come! I am, and always will be, that Quirky/Confusing, and slightly zany, woman.

Ciao
