Thursday of last week (the 5th), we celebrated my birthday at The Q with Amanda and some of her friends. It was an absolute blast - of course, I don't remember most of it, but I know we had a good time.
Friday morning, I GOT ENGAGED!!! It was crazy and such a surprise!! And of course, I said yes. I am so exceptionally lucky to be marrying such a wonderful man. He is everything I could have ever hoped for and more, and I had no idea it was possible to love someone so much! We're planning on October 10, 2009 for our wedding date, in Nebraska, so mark your calendars :) Here's a smallish picture of the ring that doesn't begin to do it justice:
Also Friday morning, we put an offer in on the house we love. As of today, we've received a counter offer and sent one back to them, so who knows what will happen, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.
Saturday morning, I graduated with a BS in Management of Human Resources. It was really an accomplishment for me, but still hasn't hit me yet. We celebrated that evening with the big graduation party, which was the best!

Sunday, I hosted Amanda's wedding shower. I think she had a good time - I know the food and champagne was good :) Thanks to everyone who came and helped me out with that!
I think that's about it, for the time being. We haven't been washed away in the storms yet, thank goodness. Praying for everyone who has been injured or had property damage, and for the safety of everyone as we continue on through the storm season.
