The last few days have been a whirlwind.
On Thursday, I finally got The Ring and proposed to Jess. Shortly after she got the results back from the ring appraisal, she said “yes”. (kidding) She said “yes” instantly, and then we went out to eat to celebrate. After that, we hit almost all of the houses locally that we wanted to hit that night to show it off and tell people.
Friday night was spent Christmas shopping. Literally, all night. But, we’re less than a dozen presents away from being totally finished with everyone. That’s pretty kick ass!
Saturday was spent on the road. Lunch with her friend Kelly in Easton, then to her mother’s in New Jersey to spend sometime and then have dinner with her. Then out to Easton to see her father and his new house, and then finally to Nazareth to see her sister and her husband. We ended up getting home about 12:45am, and immediately went right to bed.
Today is clean the house day. That means, well, cleaning the house, doing laundry, and then maybe wrapping some Christmas presents. We have about 3 more people to tell about the engagement and I think we’re going to try and do that today.
Sorry if this post is a little ‘warbled’, but the last 3 days have felt like one, extremely long day.
And after talking about our initial wedding plans with every fascet of her family yesterday, I now understand why everyone has been telling us to elope…
It is very hectic and sometimes stressful, but it is all worth it in the end. Congrats!!!
