Engagement

Nope, not mine. You can tell your heart attack to stop now. Two of my very good friends got engaged a couple of weeks ago.

 I am so excited! I love it when I get to watch a relationship grow from the beginning. I remember vividly Hannah telling me at Wendy's that a boy in her class had asked her out and she didn't know what she wanted to do about it (but I bet she really did). I also remember her saying while dating her previous boyfriend that she didn't really want to get married. A few months after dating Harry though, she talked like she had changed her mind. So I can't say I was surprised, but I can say this is one of the best non-surprises ever. It also gave me a change to make fun artsies! I've been wanting to make cute little people and have been failing, but I love how this came out. I can't wait to be a bridesmaid in your wedding!

Proposal stories are always entertaining, and this one is quite special.
Harry's grandmother died. He had already planned on proposing, but this changed things. Especially since his dad knew he was going to propose that week and he put Hannah in the obituary as Harry's fiance. Well that was okay, because the obituary would come out after Harry proposed on Saturday, as he planned.

Except it didn't. The obituary came out the same day. Hannah wouldn't see it, but all of Harry's church would, and they would put it on Facebook, which Hannah would see.

Good thing he was ready! And his grandmother obviously lived an amazing life with even more amazing family. And even in death, she managed to bring Hannah and Harry together!

All together now: Awwwwwww.

Iiiiiiiiiiiin other news... today is my halfiversary with John. Hahaha. I invented that word. Anyway, it's been six months so I'm a bit giddy.

I'm going to go stare into space, let my eyes glaze over, and sigh happily for a while.
Also, I risked it and invited John to be my date to Hannah's wedding, which will be June 30th, 2012. He said he would be my date to all my weddings.

Hmm.... let's dote happily on that.
