big news...ok more like huge news

I am now engaged to the absolute sweetest guy I have ever met. Since day one, there has been something special about him. The way he knows how to make me feel like im the only one in the room worth even looking at, that im the special in every way. I would be lying if I said I wanted something more than this because honestly I have never wanted anything more in my entire life. We had been planning to go out on monday to celebrate finals being over, the plan was to eat dinner at some really nice restaurant and then from there go see the tree on Monument circle. Little did I know, that walking to the Circle in super heavy snow in my heels would lead to the sweetest and most memorable moment of my life. When we got there we walked around the entire tree then stepped into the door-way to get out of the snow for a minute...next thing hes down on his knee with the most beautiful ring I have ever seen in his hand looking up at me with his gorgeous eyes...and Im sure you can guess the rest. It was a wonderful night, one that I will never forget as long as I live :) Just thought I would share such a special moment of my life with you all! :)

control

I am finally at that point during the semester where everything is over and all I can do is sit and wait to see the "fruits of my labor" (so to speak)...luckily for me, my teachers were on top of the grading and I already know I passed all of my classes. I am just thankful for the fact that a majority of my classes had a ridiculously large curve! There are not many things in life that we have control of. Sometimes we have control for so long we take it for granted, other times we want it for so long that we don't realize it when we finally get it. Every so often I try to sit back and take a good look at my life and the people in it. For the past year or so every time I have taken this inventory, if nothing else, I have remained very thankful for the people that I have in my life. This has probably been mentioned in my blog more times than I care to count, but certain people come and go with little impact on your life...others leave such an impact that if they left, even for a brief period, you would feel the effects. The main people that keep me grounded are my family, my best friend, and my fiance :). These are the people that eventhough I talk to often, they are the ones I lean on the most when I feel like my life has gotten totally out of control. I love them dearly and wouldnt have it any other way!
