another new chapter!

Well, school is back in session and I have been busy trying to get the finishing touches up on my room and lessons. My birthday was last week and it was THE BEST day I have ever had. I meant to post this much sooner but after getting ENGAGED!!! Time flew by then, on Monday, kiddos came back and I have been going non stop. By 8:30 I am struggling to stay awake but some how I never make into bed before 10. Here is "the story." 

August 2nd was a busy day at work. It was a day full of meetings and it was my 27th birthday! Later in the day, Adrian called to see when I what time I would be home. I told him a time and he said okay, see you then. He also made sure I would text him when I was getting close to my house. Which isn't normal but it was my birthday... I finally left the school about 4ish and I call my mom. She answers the phone with a weird tone in her voice. Like she was waiting on me to tell her something, anyway we chatted about the day and hung up. I text A. when I was getting closer and he said "k." I go in the house and its very quiet, I was thinking is he here? I walked in the bed room and he is sitting on the bed and Pancho jumps to greet me! I heard a jingle from collar which is odd because she doesn't jingle. I sat on the bed to see  what was making the noise and I found this....

While reading this A. got down on one knee and popped the question!

When he got down one knee I started yelling YES!! YES!!! He had to stop me and so he could finish asking the question. 

Wearing her new jingle! 

I called my mom and she answered cautiously and said I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!! She knew it was coming all day. A. asked her permission two weeks ago. What a secret to keep for 2 weeks! 

First picture as an engaged couple! 

After making a few more phone calls, we went to my grandparents house in person, I just couldn't tell them on phone. We hugged, cried, and laughed. 

My beautiful ring. This ring has more value and meaning then any ring has in the store. 

We went to eat sushi, my favorite. Right before dinner, we made the "facebook announcement." Both our phones were buzzing with notifications of congratulations and well wishes from our family and friends.  I am in love with the best man on earth. I can't wait to begin this new chapter in our lives!

My sweet basket of "bride" goodies from the best girls at work. Bridal magazines, ring pops, sugar babies, a ribbon and a sweet card I treasure forever.
