"What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine. I'm now the proud owner of 28 yoga mats!" - Nathan Buckley
I have been officially engaged for 5 days now, and it's already been an adventure. It's been surreal, exciting, and even a little bit intimidating, like engagement and marriage are something much bigger than us.
We've already received an overwhelming amount of support and well wishes. I have so much gratitude for our amazing friends and family. We are very lucky.
I'm also filled with a huge sense of relief. Finally we can start building the life we've dreamed of together for so long now. Not to mention, the ring on my finger and my new "relationship status" have allowed us to be taken much more seriously than when I was "just a girlfriend".
To all of this I can say, it's about time! Everything feels so right and so good. I am incredibly blessed. That is all.

Things Get Harder Before They Get Easier
3 more days until I fly to California for the holidays.
Unfortunately things seem to be getting harder before they can get easier. Like getting food poisoning Saturday night. 10:00pm - 4:00am things were not pretty. So not pretty that I lost 5 whole pounds in a few hours! Who needs a detox when you can just eat a poisonous red velvet muffin from your local bagel shop?! Let's just say Red Velvet is no longer my favorite cake.
I survived. And when I started feeling better called Jetblue to schedule Pumpkin's flight. I had booked mine months ago but my limited funds made me less than eager to spend the $100 for Pumpkin's reservation. Well turns out my flight has maxed out on the number of dogs it allows.
About 10 frantic phone calls later, after investigating how to change my flight and how to deal with the $100 change fee, $300 difference in airfare price, and $100 dog reservation (yes, that'a half a grand to fly the dumb dumb home for Christmas) and I was pretty dang upset. Thanks to the third Jetblue customer service representative, I was finally given the info that the 4th and final dog on the flight must be booked the day of at the ticket counter on a first come first serve basis. Guess whose getting to the airport 4 hours before her flight on Thursday!?
You got it! I will get Pumpkin and I home if it kills me.
