Anxiously engaged in a sweet raise

Finally. Took him long enough. I mean, hurray! I got engaged on Wednesday to my boyfriend, Ryan, and it's exciting business ya'll. He asked me while we were slow dancing and I knew it was coming. I said yes, obviously, since I'm engaged to be marred. I had to tell my whole New Testament class, which was embarrassing and nerve wrecking for me, but now I don't have to do that again.

He's already talked to the folks and has met a few members of the fam. Here's a picture of my ring.

I've also picked out a dress, but I have yet to try it on. As Seth would say, "It's such a great deal!" I'm excited for it. We're planning on December 22 in the Nauvoo Temple, but it's not final yet.

We also just merged phone plans to save us twenty bucks a month from our old plans. And to explain the rest of the title of the blog, I just got a raise in my job just because I've shown that I'm responsible. Pretty much. Now I'm a lead Custodian. Whoo hoo! I guess. Now I'm making $7.58 an hour. That should help me out sufficiently. Hopefully. Yup.

Anyway, I also met Ryan's sisters, which was a mostly good experience. They're nice girls, and it's fun to see the sibling interaction. I also talked to Ryan's dad, Daryl, tonight. We're already on a first name basis. He seems to act a lot like Ryan, so we should be fine there. I also met his mom. They all seem to be really nice and friendly people.

Sorry kids, but I can't get a picture of my dress. It's pretty sweet though. I like it at least. And soon the whole entire ward will know, since Ryan's coming with me to church on Sunday. What a shame he can't come to Relief Society, since I'm singing for the "musical experience" so I'll probably do a hymn or something. It's been a long time since I'v performed a solo, so hopefully it'll all come out right.
