ENGAGED!

Okay, I finally have a blogging purpose!

Kurt and I got engaged May 31, 2009. We were "re-creating" our first date in Chicago, ending with the Ferris Wheel ride that we did not get to go on last year. It was on this ride that Kurt got down on one knee (yes, in a ferris wheel basket) and asked me to marry him. I think my first words were "Are you kidding me?" because it was totally unexpected. My next words were, of course, "YES YES!!"

Backing up, we had a great day in Chicago--Shedd Aquarium, walking from Shedd to Water Tower, window shopping, chocolate, dinner at YTK (site of our first date), and walking around Navy Pier. It was a perfect day. Except for my morning meltdown with my hair, but whatever. That's to be expected with me.

Now on to the fun/hard stuff. Planning. I will do my best to keep this updated with everything I am thinking/doing/not doing. And I welcome ANY and ALL advice...I am good at planning, but this is a whole new world for me!
