Today: I am the luckiest.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I’ve been sitting on a secret since Friday night.  Me, the person who tries to give people their Christmas presents in October, too excited to wait.  After a long day and one huge surprise, I went to bed the happiest person on the planet.

Nick asked me to marry him, and you’d better believe I said yes.  In the four and a half years we’ve known each other, Nick has become both my anchor and my sail.  How did a dinghy like me get so lucky?

Forever is the best possible adventure I could imagine.  I am so happy, so blessed, so grateful.

Also On Tap for Today:

  • Traveling north and south to celebrate with our families
  • 11 miles
  • Smiling, crying, more smiling, and more crying 🙂
Are you good at keeping secrets or surprises?

    […] Initially the little bird was no where to be seen.  My sixth sense–the same one that I am convinced is going to help me solve crimes paranormally so I can have a television show– told me that he was still out (of the nest) and about.  And sure enough, he (let’s be serious, it could be a she) was on the other side of the sidewalk, just waiting to be put in a tree by a crazed woman wearing her fiance’s socks on her hands.  (OMG! FIANCE! GAAAAH!) […]
