So, I haven't posted in way too long...but I have some very happy and exciting news to share with the world! On December 26, my wonderful boyfriend and I went to the zoo for the day and to see the Festival of Lights that night. The zoo is a special place for us, since he took me there for my birthday, which also happens to be when he told me he loves me for the first time. Penguins also have a special place in our relationship (somehow I don't think anyone could, or would, truly understand even if I explained...we're just strange), and they are Adam's favorite animal. Anyway, we were at the zoo the day after Christmas and were just hanging around and watching the penguins in the bird house when eventually there was no one else there but the two of us. At that point, he asked me if I remember why penguins are his favorite. I said yes and he asked me why. I told him that it's because they mate fore life. He then told me that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me, got down on one knee, pulled out a ring, and asked me to marry him!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course I said "YES!"

I am now very happily engaged to the love of my life and wedding planning so far is going amazingly well. It's been less than a week and I've already found and bought my dress, we've set a date, we have a location for both the wedding and the reception, we've decided on and asked our entire bridal party, and we're well into the process of planning our honeymoon! We're moving full steam ahead and I CANNOT wait until July 7th!
