Engaged before the Light Party

I guess I haven’t posted in awhile again.

It seemed like a good time to post because my life has been going through a big change.  Two weeks ago I proposed to Karyn — and she said yes.  So, I’m officially engaged.  She is my fiance.

I’ve known for awhile that she was the one. It all happened pretty fast.  I mentioned one night if she wanted to look at rings. She said sure.  The next night we looked at rings and I got hers.  In the course of about 24 hours we went to talking about looking at rings to having bought a ring. A couple weeks later I proposed.  We went to the Stl Art Museum.  When we were about to leave, I said I had to go the the bathroom.  I put the ring in my pocket and headed back to her.  I told her I wanted to look out by the big statue overlooking Art Hill.  We went out there, I started talking.  Before I knew it, I was on one knee.  She thought I was messing with her because I had been teasing her for awhile about when it would be.  She even said “is this really happening?”.  Very cute.  When she saw the ring, she knew I was serious.  I asked, she said yes.

Everything since then has just been a big whirlwind of telling people and planning.  A lot more goes into planning a wedding than I realized.

Saturday is my 2nd annual Christmas light party.  This year  I’ve named it Christmas Lightorama (christmaslightorama.com).  I think a lot of people thought I would propose on that day with all the friends and family over.  But I thought it’d be better for it to be just the two of us when it happened.  I have about 50 people that said they would attend.  I know not everyone will show up, but still it should be a good turnout.  We have all been hella cleaning to get ready for it.  It turns out that I normally don’t clean that well because Karyn and my Mom both thought it was pretty dirty.  A few minutes ago I just got done taking the video.  It took a few takes because cars kept driving by.  And I’m not 100% sure it worked right because the battery was almost dead.  But, I think it did.  I’ll edit it together tomorrow and know for sure.

So just think.  Right now, I am someone’s fiance and someone is my fiance.  Pretty awesome.
