I was waiting to make my end of the official announcement until I told my parental units. They check my journal every so often, and I wanted to tell them in person.

So, last night at Taco Loco (YUMMY!) in the TWP, I told my parents that I had proposed to and that we were now engaged. Now, I could hear and squealing in delight when Benny was on the phone with them (and I was several feet away), but my Mom was reserved. She waited until she got back in the car with Dad. Luckily, Dad and I are on good terms again, and he was like, “She did that ‘eeeeeee’ thing that your friends did when she got in the car.” That made me chuckle.

So, I’m moving into my apartment soon, and I’m engaged to the perfect woman for me, and I’m very close to having my benefits kick in at work. I’m working on my novel and actually getting somewhere (and I’ve been told my writing style is improving!). So much good stuff. And, for once, I’m revelling in it instead of waiting for the other shoe (boot) to drop.

Details about Samhain night will be forthcoming. Fear not, loyal readers! ;)
