Christmas was awesome.  FREAKING AWESOME!

I got proposed to.  Did I mention that?  With a ring and everything.  AND I CAN’T FIND MY CAMERA!  Here is a picture from my camera phone:

We are tentatively talking about July 11th.

Brian surprised me- He’s been so grumpy about money etc, and we’d talked about waiting until after trial was done in January to get the ring etc…

He’d said he’d found some pretty earrings for me but I’d forgotten he’d told me that.  We’d opened presents first thing and I was so happy with everything I’d gotten.  I was sitting on the couch, and told him I was going to shower before we went to his parents house and he jumped up and said “I forgot one present!”  And came out with a gift bag with FISH on it.  I took out the tissue paper and there was a little white box and I said “Are these my earrings?” and then I opened it and saw it was a ring and started to sob.  I was(AM) so HAPPY!  I was laughing too.  And then he said (on one knee) “Nothing Witty, will you marry me?”  And I said “YES!”  and then cried some more.

I am SO happy.  If I had your cell number I texted you right away- sorry if I woke you up, I know it was early   I couldn’t contain my joy!

I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend, my soul mate and the most wonderful, sweetest, most honorable, HANDSOMEST man- who loves Emma and I with all his heart. We are so so lucky!

This Christmas was also two years to the day Brian told me he loved me for the first time (Did I mention he is romantic?)!  So yes. I love Christmas.  I love Brian!  We are happy!  Thank you so so much for everyone’s good wishes, they mean the world to us!
