okay, here's the scoop:
josh asked me to marry him last night. it was a TOTAL surprise to me. i mean, we'd talked about getting married, but i wasn't expecting him to propose any time soon. it was so adorably awkward when he did. we were about to go out to get hair cuts. i was putting on my shoes and when i turned around, he was on one knee with the ring. he asked. i said yes, of course, tho in truth it was likely one of the most disappointing acceptances ever. there were no movie style tears, no breathless "yes". i was just so shocked.
i called my mom, who josh had asked weeks ago, and i think i worried her that i wasn't excited, because i was still so shocked. it was a strange conversation. then i called lindsay, and it started to sink in. i cried. called andrew, and got possibly the best reaction. the rest of the night is a bit of a blur. calls and texts and screams and congrats.
i'm not stressing over details right now, but we're shooting for february 2012. we'd decided long ago to get married in the winter, on vacation somewhere hot. the dominican, cuba, mexico, whatever, i don't care as long as it's sunny and warm. this winter just isn't feasible, so that gives us 2012.
and now, for those wondering about the ring, i took a couple of snaps today. they're far from pro, but i think they get the point across.
