We're Engaged!!!!
Okay, this is long overdue. I’ll start with Christmas. It was a wonderful one. 
Very busy, and lots of traveling was done. We got to see all of our family this year! From Chattanooga, to Jacksonville, then to Panama City then Pensacola, then back to Chattanooga. But it was well worth it to see everyone for Christmas.
I loved hanging out with Len and his sisters, they are just so fun all together!
On Christmas eve, we all went to mass and then back to my parents’ house to eat yummy food and open presents.
After we all opened presents, Len announced for everyone’s attention, and then started saying how there is something he’s been meaning to do, and how now seems like the best time to ask me this, then proceeded to get down on one knee and asked me to marry him!!!! Of course, I said YES!!! And I was so ecstatic! I could not stop smiling and felt a sense of shock and just an overwhelming feeling of joy and excitement. I had dreamed of this day coming and it finally had.
About a week later began all of the wedding planning! I thought that I would never have a problem with this part, because I’ve pretty much dreamt of my wedding day since I was 4. However, monetary issues can be somewhat of a problem. I am enjoying wedding planning as much as I can, I just have so many ideas, that I don’t know which one to pick. I think I am so far, the worst stressed out bride ever! The week after my engagement, I drove back down to Pensacola to look at some
venues and churches first hand to make up my mind on a location and set the date, book photographer, etc. Kristi was a great help for me. I never knew planning a wedding could cause so much stress on one little person! I mean I am breaking out all over the place, I even have backne now! Ahh! Anywho, Kristi let me drive her all around Pensacola three times over one day to help me choose a location. And, we got to go on a date…we haven’t done that in forever! Here we are at Horizon for sushi...mmmm… After everything, I ended up with my original choices! Go figure! Well, I am happy to say that I now know what I want my wedding day to look and feel like, I can imagine it in my head. The wedding will be on October 6, 2007…now I just need to take care of the details. I will try to keep everyone 
posted on everything. This is going to be a great year, because it is the year that Len and I will become husband and wife and I will find out if I will be going to anesthesia school this year. I can't wait for everything! I hope to see everyone at the wedding!! P.S. Many of you would be happy to know that I now have a knot page!
