Monday, March 15, was my 28th birthday.  It feels weird to be another year older, but 2010 seems promising, and a birthday is almost like its own separate new year.  Starting fresh again, I really hope to move towards big things this year!

That said, my nephew’s 2nd birthday was on March 17th and my boyfriend hijacked his party and proposed.  Woo! After 5 years, we’re finally engaged. Maybe after another 5, we’ll finally be married! ha!  I never noticed just how much a wedding changes people.  People I don’t even know are way more excited for us than we are.  Maybe it’s because they dream of weddings and I never have, besides oogling pictures shot by my favorite wedding photographers?  We’re not heading into big grand wedding territory though.  We’re talking tiny town wedding here, completely untraditional.  I’d love to elope but our families would kill us!

I’ve been a terrible blogger so far, but I hope to get better.  I can always pretend I’m planning some fabulous wedding if I fall off the internet, right?  But you’d know it’s a lie because we probably won’t even set a date for quite some time!  Is it wrong to say that I really need a new car before I need  a wedding?

And what good is a blog without a picture? I wish it could be a “suck it, single bitches!” shot of the ring on my hand that’s so popular on Facebook but it’s currently being sized and all that good nonsense, so maybe in a week.   Speaking of Facebook, after I told some people their statuses were immediately changed to pity parties about how everyone is getting married and they’re not.  Anyone else experienced that? I didn’t realize it would ruin other people’s lives if Bryan and I continue to live and be together!  That’s for another day I guess.

Here’s a shot of Jack, who will be happier once she’s no longer an illegitimate kitty.
