Things just fall into place.

For those of you I haven't been able to talk to yet that are wondering:

1. Yes, I'm engaged. (And excited!)
2. I got the ring last Monday night, though we talked about getting married the week prior (so he didn't have to worry about me turning him down). :)
3. We met in our Chemistry class (insert joke about "chemistry" here) at the end of August, and went on our first date in early September.
4. Yes, even though we've only known each other just over 2 months, we are sure and we do know what we're doing (as much as anyone who gets married ever does, anyway).
5. We'll have a small ceremony after the spring semester is over (May-ish). Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease don't feel slighted if you aren't invited -- we're doing a *super small* ceremony, either at our new apartment-to-be or possibly my parent's house in Ohio. We probably won't even invite our entire families. Partially because we want to keep it cozy & intimate, partially because our apartment will be not large. Please don't ask me if you are invited, I will feel really guilty, I already know who I plan to invite, and Matt & I already agreed on this. We'd rather pay for tuition or a house than a huge party for 500 of our closest friends (no offense, it's just more practical).
6. Yes, we will have a larger get-together a few weeks later for those people that we couldn't have at the wedding, which will tenatively be at my parent's place. Because I do want to be able to see lots of people and share our joy. :)


It's so weird. Three months ago I swore up and down that I wanted to move back to Ohio, and there was no point in dating anyone here. Then I decide that Ohio won't work, and at about the same time I meet a wonderful man with whom I'm excited about spending the rest of my life (though he tells me all the time that he's getting the better end of the deal).

It really does sneak up on you when you least expect it. And then it beats you mercilessly over the head until you submit. :)

Warm wishes to everyone I haven't seen in years and and to those I see often.
