Engagement

So I have some great news! I'm engaged. Actually, I've been engaged for about a month, but I'm not very good at updating my blog. I just don't feel like I have that much to write about. Life's been really different lately. I just realized I hadn't even posted since I started dating Greg. Hmm... I really do need to improve here.
Well, then, to give you a brief update...
Gregory and I met via a mutual friend, Tiffany. We were just friends for a few months but started to really talk during May. At the end of May we were dating. By the beginning of August, it felt like a forever, this is right moment. We talked about getting married and he felt the same way. So he talked to my parents and we went to look at rings the next day. He proposed on a Sunday. We'd been spending time with his family and on the way out I kissed him and he said, "I just can't take it anymore. Will you marry me?" He got down on one knee and slipped the ring he had picked onto my finger. I was sort of surprised but my immediate reaction was to call my grandmother. (After I said yes, of course!) On the way home, I started this weird, so -happy -I -can't- stand- it- don't- know -whether- to- laugh- or- cry- so -I'll -do -both thing. Wedding planning is going well so far, though we need to hear from the temple regarding their schedule before we can do much of anything else. I have my bouquet done, the dress pattern picked out (Thanks to the amazing sewing abilities of my mother!), bridesmaids dresses patterns, flower girls, veil, head piece, photography (thanks Tiffany!), invitation picked out, etc. So now it's just the date so I can finish refreshments, book the cultural hall, mail out invitations, etc
But honestly, I'm more concerned about being a good wife and homemaker than I am about the wedding. I'm working now, but I still feel strongly tied to home. I'm still working on educating myself to be the best I can, something I think I'll always be doing. Marriage is for eternity. My Wedding will just be one day. I want to make the wedding nice, but the marriage even better.
