Some "engaging" news

News Alert! You heard it here first-Keith and I are engaged! Keith proposed to me on Nov. 4th at Descanso Gardens in La Canada, CA. After making month long arrangements with the caterer at the Japanese Gardens, I was pleasently surprised (well, I must admit I had my suspicions- a generally flexible easy going Keith was rigid and nervous the entire day)when I found a ring sitting on my desert plate. Needless to say, I said "yes" followed by a pause and asked nervously "did you ask my parents?" Let's just say the old-fashioned boy did the entire engagement process the way I would have liked him to. He's good like that. :-)

We're Engaged!

Goofying around the gardens before the proposal. Hug a tree...hug a pumpkin...

Even I can't be quiet when they ask me to...

Back from Europe

Yes, its been a while since my last post- this may possibly be a record length of time I've blogged! Keith, his mom, and I returned late September from a delightful vacation I will never forget. I've always dreamed of traveling through Europe and couldn't believe I was seeing things that I've only read in history books. It gave me a greater appreciation for art, history, God, beauty, architecture, and life. It also gave me the opportunity to tantalize my taste buds with the best tasting and best looking gelato ever! It is definelty worth a cross country flight to Italy again!

Gelato, anyone?

We finally made it to the French Riviera!
