Highly Engaged


P and I got engaged after a picnic in the mountains of East Tennessee on what, for now, was the best day of my 25 year old life. His proposal was idyllic. It was truly beautiful in its simplicity. I like to say it was "very P". Although, apparently he had several options and carried the ring around in his pocket for over 2 days. 2 days? how sneaky!

I've never been that girl. You know, the one who gets engaged and hits the ground running with plans for her wedding because, well, she's already planned most of it. The girl who has binders ready with examples of flowers and dresses she adores. Nuh uh, not me. I've met those girls. In fact, I'm friends with a couple of those girls. I, on the other hand, until the past week had NEVER picked up a bridal magazine. So far, I'm ecstatic that P and I are engaged. So far, I'm also totally overwhelmed with the possibilities and soon to be decisions involving the wedding.

For now I choose to tiptoe around this uncharted wedding territory and sloooooowly acclimate to my new engaged status. Please be patient with this neophyte.
