Pat and I are engaged! He proposed on Friday afternoon. I couldn't sleep that night, because I was so excited and my mind wouldn't shut down. Pat had called me saying that Einstein (his dog and my future son) had bought me a book. (We're always doing goofy things, like giving each other gifts from our pets.) He came in with the book hidden and had me sit down. I opened it (the ring was inside) and then he was on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said "yes." (Of course!) It caught me so off guard that I asked him, "Is this real?" :-) He made a wonderful choice and bought me a gorgeous ring!!

I think the best part is how he asked my family for their approval. My parents were visiting my brother and sister-in-law, so he flew to Texas all in one day to ask them! (I wish my brother, Steve, could have been there, too.) They all approved and somehow kept it quiet. I'm sure Mom was about to bust! :-)
It has finally sunk in a little more, and I'm starting to think about what I want for our wedding. There are lots of decisions to be made!
