Excitement

I can't sleep. It's past 2 in the morning and I just can't sleep. I think the reason I can't fall asleep is because I'm just so happy right now. For no reason. But I'm happy, and I'm excited. I'm full of joy and I just want to yell, or dance, or cry. I'm so excited because in just a little over 1 year and 4 months, we're getting married. Of course I've been so excited to marry him since we got engaged, but for some reason I feel like I just can't contain myself tonight. I'm engaged to the most wonderful, caring, and compassionate person I know.  It's the most wonderful feeling in the world. I get to marry my best friend!

We are fiances!

This post is long overdue. Sorry.

But we're engaged!!!

On New Years Eve, Will wanted to go hiking on Squaw Peak for the sunset. My best friend Megan and her hubby Jeff were going to come along too.  When we got to the top we sat down for a while and just hung out. Right about the time the sun was setting, I told Willie that I wanted one last picture then we should start heading down before it got too dark to see. He agreed, and Megan said she would take the picture for us. Will said he wanted a picture on his camera too, he bent down and started going through his back pack to find his camera. When I looked down at him, I was trying to figure out why he was on one knee. Then I saw the beautiful ring he was holding. I was in complete shock, especially because I wasn't expecting it for another few months!  All I could do was kiss him and hug him. At one point, Jeff actually said "Are you going to put that ring on or what!"

Megan of course was in on it the entire time and took lots of pictures for us! Here are a few of them! 

Me and Meggy on Squaw Peak!

At this point I was trying to figure out what the heck he was doing!

Oh you have a ring in your hand!

I'm so happy!

OF course, he brought wine :-)

My gorgeous ring that he designed himself!

So we're engaged!  I can't wait to marry my best friend!  What an awesome way to end 2009!

Who Dey!

Amanda and I became die hard Bengals fans this year. It was probably mostly my doing, seeing that I have been an underground fan for a while, but that goes to show how much Amanda loves me. Anyways, the Bengals (10-6) did become the AFC North champions for the first time in 21 years. The last time they did that they went to the Super Bowl and lost in 1989. In December I went and visited my family in Cincinnati, Ohio and picked up some Bengals gear for Amanda and I. I think they lost in the playoffs because we didn't wear our gear that day. But hey, there is always next year. Well, I figured I would at least contribute something to this new blog, so there you have it. Oh and Amanda has yet to put the most important news of December up, but I am sure it wont be long before she gets to that. :-)
