Retraction from earlier blog: Chad was not stuck in Indiana... he was stuck in Minniapolis. And he wasn't stuck there for two days, he was only stuck there overnight (while I was blogging, in fact, he was at home playing games with his siblings). But, all of this was so he could show up in Starkville on Thursday, five minutes after he told me he was getting on a plane... and ask me to marry him. *sigh*

So yay for us! We are now officially engaged... unless you ask my dad, and then we're only quasi-engaged... but he doesn't count. Pictures of the ring *grin* and our engagement pictures will be online before the end of the week. And we'll run an announcement in the papers (both in Memphis/Southaven, and Huntsville) sometime before the New Year... close to Christmas, I imagine.

And my roommate is so jealous she can hardly see straight... Yay for me!

Yeah, so I'm going to go drag Chad to the lab and try to hunt down some of the geeks I know and show off *grin* I'm going to be doing a lot of showing off this week, I'm sure. Step one: make a list of everyone I know... friend or otherwise. Step 2: *accidentally* run into them this week, and show off ring. Step 3: bask in the knowledge that everyone is jealous of me *grin*

Ok, ok... I know I'm driving everyone nuts... but there aren't too many things I get a brag about.... so I'm going to enjoy this one as long as I can.
