Ok guys, to be honest with all of you, I have typed and retyped this post for about an hour or a little more than an hour. I have no idea how to get this post started, so I guess I'm going to have to start with this picture:

weeeeee!
My boyfriend of 6 years and 9 months got down on one knee over the weekend and proposed to me. I cannot believe that we have been a couple for this long, it seems like only yesterday when I first met him and we began dating and now we are engaged. Wow. Words cannot begin to express how happy I am to know that I will be marrying the man I love. He is my better half, my best friend, my love. We have grown together not just as a couple, but as individuals. He has helped me to become a better person and he has pushed me to always give it my best even when I doubted myself.
The
fiancé and I have agreed to get married in August of 2013. Yes, I know it is a long long time from now, but I think it is perfect. Since I have always been a bit of a perfectionist, I think this will give me more than enough time to plan and prepare for everything. Oh girls, please help me out, any ideas or suggestions for wedding themes and other wedding planning details that I need to keep in mind?

We were so young hair. We were young kids with bad hair. lol.









And now, 6 years and 9 months later and through bad hair days, thick and thin,wacky and sweet moments, here we are as a newly engaged couple. =)
