Upgrades

This weekend has been full of upgrades! I went from a bachelors degree to a master’s, and from dating to being engaged! It has been a lot of fun, but it’s tiring being the center of attention!
Josh proposed on Friday night when he got home from work. I was about to do the last of the dishes before the moms arrived when there was a knock on the door. When I opened it up, he was kneeling in the hallway with my BEAUTIFUL ring! He was also singing a song that he had made up on the way over (to the tune of “On top of Spaghetti”). It was all incredibly sweet. Then the moms and gradparents arrived and it was a party for 24 hours straight! The funny thing was, we got chinese food on Friday night, and Josh’s and my fortunes were freakishly on target. His said, “You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true.” and mine said, “You are offered the dream of a lifetime. Say yes!” Can you believe that?!?!
So here I am, enjoying my dream. I’m so excited! Looks like we are going to have two weddings to look forward to next year! We’re thinking summer ’07, but that’s as close as we can pin it right now. We have to check availability at places.
I was going to attempt to post a picture of the ring, but I’m going to need a little help figuring that out. Graduation was great too, by the way. It only lasted an hour and a half, the speakers all kept it short and sweet, none of them had annoying voices, they pronounced my name right, AND I didn’t fall! What more could you ask for? Hope all is well with my lovely ladies!!

    Congrats on the engagement and the graduation again Nicole! Good luck trying to get a good picture of the ring..I feel the picture never does the ring justice!

    Complimenti e tanti auguri Nicole! P.s. of course you can link us to your site. I’ll add a link to yours from here too as soon as I get a chance! Kudos on the graduation–I feel having a masters degree is a nice feature, even though it must have been an awful lot of work. If you can’t figure out how to upload the picture (there’s a little Upload Picture button on the left hand site of where you type your entries), send it to me and I’ll upload it for you. Congratulations!!
