Life.
Tiffany and I got engaged. :)
An Edit by Tiffany Follows...for all those unsatisfied with the no-detail very I'm-a-guy announcement Tom just made.
Tom proposed to me on his birthday. August 30, 2008. We were at Zilker park with Delilah. He stopped under a big tree by a picnic bench and...his mom called. Then Dan called. Apparently they were both talking to him about the proposal...I had no idea. When he got of the phone I was like "what did Sarah say?"
I was sitting on the park bench and Tom kneeled down and held my hands. "Sarah said..." *moves to the one knee position, "that I should get down on one knee..." I started laughing and saying something about how this was sooo not funny (I thought he was playing a joke on me...like on The Office) "when I ask you to marry me?"
He said some other things that I do not remember because he had pulled out the ring and I was in that *OMG this is not a joke* shock.
So I accepted...and then I told everyone...something I'm still in the process of doing right now.
Basically I'm really excited. When I called my mom she had already bought two bride magazines...and by the time she got back from California she had her arms full of wedding planning stuff for me too look at. We aren't going to get married until Fall 2010. That should give him time to finish his undergrad, and probably also enough for me to get a Masters. I'm only planning stuff that is fun right now...which is like everything. What can I say? I've always been one for party planning and this is pretty much the ultimate.
Even though this thing is two years off, we will be setting a date relatively soon. Just because, my Dad has that bad habit if going off the Middle East and signing multi-year contracts without first consulting his family. I want to set a date early enough so that he is responsible for planning around me rather than the other way around.
One thing I need help with right now? I want to ask my sister to be my Maid of Honor, but i don't want to just ask her. I want to do something special for her. I just...don't have a good idea.
