Little did I know how drastically my life would change after last Sunday. I realize now that my worries then were pretty insignificant now that I have to become self-sufficient, update a new blog and plan a wedding. On top of that, work has been more demanding lately and I’ve somehow managed to catch a cold. Every night when I come home from work I try to eloquently describe every detail of the proposal. But tiredness overwhelms me.

Yet as the days pass and I come to more fully realize my decision, I couldn’t be more happy. Matt and I make a great team. Every day I’ve learned a little more about how he orchestrated the proposal plan and it makes me feel even more special.

The most excited I’ve been since Sunday I think was when we went to Costco Tuesday night. (My parents often refer to us as the Costco Couple.) As we maneuvered the orange flats around the warehouse, I realized that no longer will we need to split up all the stuff we buy. And one day, hopefully in the near future, I will have a huge freezer to house all my ridiculously oversized food items. One can only dream.

So I hope to have my reactions to the proposal up sometime soon. You know, before I leave for LA for the two graduations (congrats Mike and Megan!) and the wedding (congrats Jeff!). Until then, I leave you with the first “engagement present” I recieved from my grandpa (Papa):
