I'm Engaged

Ok so most of you already know through Facebook, phone call, e-mail or seeing it first hand....but I have to blog about it anyway! :D

Brian, the absolute love of my life, proposed to me yesterday. The day started out with me going to get my wedding dress (yes, I got my dress before I got my ring. but I knew it was coming and I fell in love with the dress so had to get it) Brian went and got the ring while I was trying on my dress for the alterations girl. (course I didn't know all this until later. hehe)

We got home after about a billion more errands and we fell into our routine of the girls playing and Brian and I on our computers. He set up a spot for me at his desk so we can both sit together while we are working on various things.

We had gotten some gelato ice-cream at the store and Brian asked if I wanted some. Sure I had replied...I was busy looking at bridesmaids dresses and flower arrangements. He came back and put he ice-cream at the end of the desk my my chair. I was still enthralled in my search and said I was thinking about tulips for my bouquet. He said 'tulips huh' I said 'ya'

Then I hear "Maura?"
I turn with a "ya baby" and there he was on one knee with my ring in his hand.
It simply took my breath away. My hand went to my chest and my breath hitched.
"will you marry me?
I do have to admit it took me a minute to answer...but only because I was overwhelmed with emotion, excitement, love ....you know pure joy pretty much.
I said yes of course and then we hugged, and kissed and cried....well I cried a lot and he cried a little.

We went outside to take a picture of my ring in the sun. The pictures don't do it justice...but that's just me being partial. :D

I'm absolutely in love with it....I"m absolutely in love with him. I just can't even tell you how happy and perfect my life is.
I get to marry the love of my life, I'm going to gain two daughters and a life time of wonderfulness.

This is the beginning of something so great!
