Anticipated Update
I have a love of words. It's strange to admit, particularly because I'm not a good speller, my vocabulary is sub-par and often get confused about polysyllabic pronunciations. But there is something about committing word to page that makes them sincere. This form of sincerity has been collected by me through my whole life: cataloging notes left in lockers and home made birthday cards. I am a collector of words. It is perhaps, for that very reason, I have found it incredibly hard to write this entry, which is, as I have been reminded, way overdue. What if I can't write it, right?
Last Saturday, my booboo proposed to me, and I accepted.
There. I wrote it.
I'm not sure I believed it until just now, even after all the phone calls and Instant Messages. Not even after I have been staring at this glittering proclamation of lifetime promises.
I. am. engaged.
He asked at our annual Halloween party, at a time when the atmosphere was winding down, and our close friends were present. In an amazing moment of planning, he managed to pop the question in front of my best friend and his - a near supernatural feat considering their locations. I could not have dreamed a better moment, at a better time.
I am deeply in love with this man. I have a happiness that is secured by stability and kept aflame by a steady stream of affection, desire, laughter and partnership.
I am giddy, shocked, relieved, nervous, thrilled, energized, panicked and confident. Never before have all these emotions worked so supremely together.
Now, here's a picture of the happy couple.

Engaged huh? Whos the unlucky bastard? oh wait.. ;)
It is odd to hear isnt it? Its always someone else getting engaged, or someone else getting married, or someone else making a speech in his ice skating uniform. But no more spectatin girly. Now you'll be the show. My superstar.
Alright move it along, no more mush to see here.

About freaking time. And Stan, I did not lose the faith. We love you so very, very much, separately, but even more so when you're together (if that's even possible.) You are about to embark on one of the most surreal but wonderful experiences of your life. And my only unsolicited advice is this: the wedding is only one day. A marriage is forever. Just keep that in mind and you'll do great.
Let's start planning!! And post a pic. of the ring... you promised! (You also promised not to go dress shopping w/o me ;))

Holy GAWD you've forged another link in the "adult" chain.
Don't worry, sweetness--I'm still one ahead of you. No need to panic just yet ;-) So very happy for you both. Now I suppose I REALLY have to meet the man!

YOu're one ahead of her? You've already gone dress shopping with Robyn?
Suppose I shouldnt be surprised.

I know I don't know you in real life, but I think it's really great when two people get engaged. It's so sweet and exciting, so congratulations to you two.

Woohoo! Congratulations!

No, no, no, K, she has not gone dress shopping already. I highly doubt she would do that without you. I just invited myself along and made her promise not to go without me. I'm pushy, but I'd never push in between you two. Not that stupid ;) *Mwah*
