Well, I'm engaged! Only it's not April 1st and I'm not kidding this time! Ben and I have decided to get married. Just a note for those thinking about getting married--buy the ring a month in advance since that's about how long it takes to order these things nowadays. We ordered the ring from the jeweler today and found out that it will take 3-4 weeks to get here. So, we went to Wal-Mart to get a cheap costume ring and then we went to the park and as we were walking across a bridge he dropped on one knee and proposed then put the interim ring on my finger. It was cute. I can't wait to get my real ring as it is BEAUTIFUL. I can't even begin to describe how frustrating it was at the jewelers this morning when we found out that it would take 3-4 weeks to get the ring. They could custom make a similar one in 2 weeks, but without the bezel-set diamonds that I love. So we decided to go ahead and get the ring I really wanted.
The diamond we got to go in the ring is beautiful too. The jeweler brought out several different diamonds, all of which were either too low-quality or too expensive. We were getting frustrated again when another of the gals that works there said, hey we just got this 1 carat colorless SI2 in yesterday. When the salesman unwrapped it we both just gasped and went WOW. It was in our price range too so we said, "done deal" and got it all set up. I'm so excited! I know it's going to be three weeks before I get it but I'm okay with that. So, we're planning on getting married on July 12th. We're not sure exactly where we'll get married yet, but we'll let everyone know as soon as we know!

Hooray For Tabitha!!!! I'm so happy for you. I want to know more about him! You should do one of those cheesy tags where you have to answer a bunch of questions about your spouse/ fiance. You are so smart, talented, and kind that I'm sure he is amazing as well. And I vote you get married in Utah because although none of your family is remotely near here, you have the largest choice of nearby temples and I could see you.
Congrats! I'm so excited. Wow. I know life is really busy for you. (But I also KNOW you can plan this thing in less than 2 months). Let me know what I can do to help, and let me know place, etc. so we can figure out our stuff and get at least me there (Jeremy wants to come too, but we'll have to see if we can do that!)
LOVE YOU! CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so excited to meet Mr. Bessie.
Yay for you! That is so wonderful. If it happens in NY you should let me know...
Congratulations Tabitha!
