Tut - tut! It looks like LOVE!
In case you have not heard, on January 30th the love of my life got down on his knee in a beautifully snowy day and asked me to marry him. Dad recorded the whole story on You Tube!
Today I wake up just overwhelmingly excited at the prospect - no wait - the REALITY of our future together, so excited that I can't even sleep in!
That's about it for now - i'm abounding in joy and excitement so I don't even know how to stay still in the least :o) What absolutely fun!

i only post with harassed to do so
so according to my dear grand-mother, I need to post more.
everyone feel free to remind me to post more, I simply forget that there are people reading!
This weekend: wonderful. Jon and I went to Chris's Charcoal pit for Greek food and for our 2nd date in the "10 great dates before you say I-do" book, a wonderfully thoughtful book given to us by his sister and brother-in-law, which they used in their relationship too. it gives us alot of good things to talk about as we continue to develop our relationship. This date was personality differences. Fun stuff.
And if any of you married people have any exciting advise on "this is how we 'knew'" you are more than welcome to share.
We then went to Bed, Bath, & Beyond where I got a GREAT new coffee pot - a Keurig. It brews coffee in 3 minutes with no clean up. I've never been this excited about an appliance.
that's it!

for Mrs. Howie.. i mean Karin!
my dear friend asked me to blog.
So here it is! My main reason for absence from this blog has been the time I've been spending with this extraordinary human being. And who wants to read a blog about my great times with my great boyfriend?
Everyone it appears :o)
So here is a fun anecdote of the evening. I constantly am telling Jon he should write a book about how to court a woman, because he's so good at it. We were talking about how much we enjoyed the movie "Blind Side" [which is AMAZING by the way], and I realized I haven't watched a romantic movie in awhile - because my life is a romantic comedy. So here is how title of Jon's book should appear and a potential chapter title and opening paragraph.
How to Court a Woman ... and enjoy doing it
1. Chapter One: How to avoid romantic-dating movies - and she'll never complain.
Men, the purpose of a woman wanting to see a romantic movie is because she wants more romance in her life. So why not give it to her! Take her kayaking, or to corn mazes. Tell her she's beautiful and smart and kind. Randomly bring her flowers, just because, or surprise her with a hug. Enjoy your inside jokes, and talking about the things you think about it. Then, with all her romantic inspirations fulfilled, she'll gladly sit in your arms during an action film... as long as you hold her close during the scary parts (and she'll know where those are) and have no need to drag you to a romantic movie - because why watch someone else when you can live it for yourself?
so - what do you think? best seller maybe? I think we're on to something....
True, no? So

kayaking
This weekend, Jon became the proud owner of a boat - a beautiful kayak with a beautiful spanish/french name, which I will not attempt to spell here. What is grand about this boat is that it can sit one or two people. For her maiden voyage, I got to be the 2nd person! We went kayaking Sunday with my dad between the naval academy bridge and the severn river bridge. It was beautiful.
Him and I in the boat:
that tiny speck out in the middle of the sun there is him paddling solo.
Me tremendously happy in the sun, on a boat, in a river, with Jon.
And Jon, likewise happy in his boat (we had to turn around to get the sun just right).
Such a delight :o)

discoveries of the day
In the pursuit of feeding myself (which is not optional, but rather mandatory for living), I have come across some deficiencies in both my knowledge of what to cook, how to cook it, and the energy to do so.
So tonight, I was excited to discover that if I scrambled eggs SEPARATE from the ramen noodles (usually I just throw them in the pot and stir them around), it makes for a more satisfying and nourishing meal. Next time I'll add some more vegetables. It is also very quick. The only problem is it makes for two dirty dishes, instead of one....
I also cleaned my room in anticipation of a family visit this weekend. It sparkles - in fact I can almost hear how clean it is. or it maybe just the absence of dirt allows sound to bounce around more freely.
