a new stage of life

Well, finally an update for all of my faithful readers (like there are so many). My life is changing... after four months of dating Nick, and I realize it sounds like an incredibly short amount of time, I am the happiest I've ever been. This man has made my life so much better than I could have imagined. He fits me so well, makes me laugh all of the time, is so supportive of anything I do, is a dreamer and helps me see possibilities where I would only see walls. I've never felt more comfortable with anyone before, and I can't imagine life without him. And, luckily enough, I DON'T HAVE TO!!! Because....

WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!

It's true, I am engaged! I feel so lucky to have found the love of my life. I can't wait to start a life with him and see where God takes us.

In other news... yesterday I took Emma to the dog park, and left with a sprained ankle. Emma was playing with a really large dog, and when this dog was chasing her, she came running toward me (she likes to do a "fly by" and scare me a little)... but her little plan backfired when the other dog didn't see me standing there and ran directly into the back of my legs knocking me completely off of my feet and onto my back. I must have lifted my right leg as it happened because my left ankle got the brunt of the impact. And so I spent the afternoon at the hospital making sure it wasn't broken and now have to keep off of it as much as possible and put lots of ice on it. And I walk funny... my new nickname is "gimpy".

That's all for now. Hope you are glad I finally wrote.

Congratulations, Jenny. Its a wonderful thing, being totally in love, isn't it? Let me know if you need some help with planning. Oh, and not that you need to think about it now, but when you do, remember Hy-Vee for wedding stuff. They give you 10% off your purchases for the wedding if you buy stuff from 2 different departments. Example: Amelia and I are getting the food catered in from Hy-Vee and the floral department is making her bouquet and toss bouquet. We get 10% off the catering and the flowers.

Just thought I'd give you your first wedding planning advice to be posted on your blog. See ya later and as they say in spanish:
¡Felicitaciones!

I didn't realize it was so serious with your ankle! Sorry I'm not there to fetch you water and walk the dog.
