Engaged!!!!

The Thanksgiving holidays sure have made me realize that I have so much to be grateful for. Zac proposed to me on Wednesday night before we went to eat with his mom's family. I was so not expecting it to be that soon and that's exactly what he wanted. I had had a long day going to the doctor, hitting Wal-Mart, and cooking while he was out doing some errands that "had to be done". When he got home I got up and started getting ready for our first Thanksgiving dinner our of three. When I came out of the bathroom from doing my hair and makeup I saw that he had ironed my clothes for me to wear. I went over to the table and picked up my shirt and saw a black velvet box underneath it. I immediately thought that he had bought me a pair of earrings to trick me because I have been trying every which way to figure out how and when he was going to propose (he told me it would be before Christmas). I opened up the box and saw the gorgeous ring and immediately snapped the box shut and turned around and he was standing there watching me with a huge grin on his face. I don't remember all the details, but I know that he pulled me to him and said that he had loved me everyday for five years and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. Would I marry him. I was so shocked I had my mouth covered with both hands and all I could do was nod. We didn't have much time to spend together before we had to leave, but that was okay with me because I wanted to tell everyone! So, the last two days have been spent in a whirlwind of telling family about our engagement. It has been so much fun, but I've been so excited that I exhausted myself! LOL...no better way to do it though. We've planned the wedding for October 3, 2009. That's about all the details I have so far.

In other news, Jaime and I decided to brave the crowds for Black Friday. This was my first Black Friday shopping experience and except for Jaime almost passing out on my twice, it was a pretty good one. I did not enjoy standing in line for over an hour at Kohl's at 4:00 in the morning, but the coke we had after we left was the best one of my life!!! The rest of the day was great. I bought my Engagement/Wedding scrapbook album and few things to get me started in it. I found two pairs of shoes I had to have, several things for Zac, and some Christmas items. I also found some things at the Hob that I wanted for our house. I spent too much money, but I think it was worth it.

The holidays are off to a fantastic start for me. I hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving as well!
