This has been one exciting week. It started out almost eerily quiet and unfolded beautifully. On Monday night my boyfriend proposed to me.

I could barely wait to share the news on my blog, but wanted a few days to savor the surprise on my own (rest assured I will not turn this site into a wedding blog). After all of the festivities this week, I can't wait to spend a cold rainy weekend at home.
