Soon to be wed...
That's right...I'M ENGAGED!!!
So, I know it has been quite a looooong time since I have made an entry, and even posted a new painting (yikes), but as you can see, a lot has been happening in my life. First and foremost, my wonderful boyfriend of over a year popped the question this Tuesday night, November 29th in a most romantic way. Picture a freshly decorated tree, a house full of Christmas cheer, and Jason kneeling on one knee asking me to be his wife. What a wonderful night. He proposed one year from the day I said "I love you." He presented the gorgeous ring on a red ribbon, telling that we had one last ornament for our tree. Then before I knew it he was down on one knee and I was crying. Now the fun and revelry of being engaged will last until October, our chosen month for the nuptuals (a more specific date to follow soon). We're hoping for October 28th, the date in which he first said "I love you" to me.
To you my sweetie, the man who inspires me and makes me laugh, my best friend, my soul mate, to you I give the world...

We are so very happy and will tell you, we both said to each other after the wedding that we both thought that yours would be our next wedding in the family. We just have been waiting for the great news!!!! Our anniversary is October 27th. A beautiful time of year for a wedding. Congratulations!!!!!!!! Uncle Tom & Aunt Linda

Thank you Linda & Tom! Saying I am the luckiest man in the world wouldn't begin to explain how truly blessed and fortunate I feel to have Melanie in my life. She is my best friend, my confidant, my inspiration, and so much more. October seems too far away, yet forever doesn't seem long enough.

I still say it's not official until I meet this girl in person. . .

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I was wondering why I'd seen no updates for a while!
What a wonderfully romantic and special proposal! I'm sure you both will be wonderfully happy!
: )
Will you be in Thursday art class? If not you need to stop by so we can see the ring and get all the latest news!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments! Julia - I am going to try and get the Thursday class if it is not already booked up! And Amanda - we shall definitely meet soon! Planning a wedding is a busy time but I need to keep up with painting more - in fact, I've blocked out some time to paint today!
