November 12 - a "box" for my ring ;)

I took vacation time Friday to help paint the boy next door's living room. I gave the very-unenthusiastic-about-painting boy excuses to run errands including an oil change for my 1995 Honda. When he came home he asked, “Can you take me somewhere?” I covered the paint, walked out to get my car and saw the 2011 red, hardtop Miata in our driveway and asked, “What’s that doing here?” His reply - “It’s yours, Babe.” I already felt like the luckiest girl on the planet to be dating him. Then he proposed. Now a new car. If I’m dreaming, there will be hell to pay for whomever wakes me!

Hers

I posted a wedding anouncement on the Little Rock Mamas Forum.

Wordless Wednesday - HIS

When the cows come home...

Juline finally received her cake topper in the mail last Thursday and all in one piece! Pieter glued the cows to the base and it's ready to go THIS SATURDAY! I can't stand it that I won't be there. Hope the weather is beautiful for their happy day!

I'm engaged!

I'm still in shock but oh so happy! The boy next door proposed to me Sunday morning. It was a gorgeous day with blue skies and perfect temperatures. He caught me completely off guard and he absolutely takes my breath away. May we always make one another as happy as we were yesterday!

While talking about what to do for the day, he threw in, "should we get married?" I thought he was joking for several minutes after all the wedding talk generated by our trip to Vegas. After I realized he was serious, it didn't take me long to say "YES!"

We haven't decided any details yet but I'll keep you posted! : )

Keeping my fingers crossed

The wedding cake topper still hasn't arrived safely in South Africa. There's only three weeks left until Julines's wedding. I sure hope it gets there in time! *sending good vibrations to my cows in transit...*
