AND NOW, THE NEWS YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! (or not!)

Jessica's my hero - she won the guess-off. Well, since it was just between her & Briana it's not that fair, especially since it wasn't a guess. So, your only prize is that you don't have to file papers at work - I'll do it for you! (Or it won't get done at all!) The latter of which is most likely! Briana gets a Happy Meal, cause the thought of an "A" in the evil class makes me happy! As the rumor mill has stated; Chris and I are engaged! Yippy-i-o-kae-yeah, it's about time! Ok - apparently this came as no surprise to anyone except me. Again, I'm the last to know everything! I figured Chris would put this off until the 5th of Eternity. I was wrong! (Hope you saw that, cause I may never write it or say it again!) On to the good stuff . . .

We went to my Granny's for Easter (as always!) and they have a creek behind their house. It's all woodsy and pretty down there - Warren & I used to play & swim there all the time when we were little. (Well, if you consider throwing rocks at small, furry woodland creatures playing . . . we sure did!) Chris finished eating before me, (no fat jokes Warren & Micah - I don't care how many thousands of miles away your are, remember, I am weapons qualified) so he went down to the creek. I stayed up at the house & sat with my Granny & family. Chris came back up to the house & said he wanted me to go to the creek with him & I said I didn't want to 'cause my shoes were too high: 4 inch heels are not good for traipsing around a creek! He said the ground was dry so I put on my clunkers & away we went! I tripped my way down there, watching the ground for stumps as I went. Once we got there, Chris pulled me over towards a tree. As I scanned the ground, in an effort to avoid big-shoe-tripping-hazards, I spotted a pink Easter egg. "Look!" I stated like a big dork, "Some little kid missed and Easter egg." (Now, keep in mind we are at a creek, Easter egg hunting would have posed a major challenge, as the people on the other side of the creek would've had to wade across it to plant the egg.) When I reached down to pick it up I noticed there was something tied to it: a ring! Still, it didn't register, I thought, "Somebody left their ring too." (Yes, I hear all you rednecks yelling "Here's your sign!") I finally realized what was going on when Chris took the super-duper-shiny egg from me. He untied the ring, got down on one knee and said, "Robin, will you marry me?" (Of course I said yes!)

YAY!!! You'd better give him props on this one!
