Last night, after our fourth dating anniversary dinner, **KrustyKlown** asked me to marry him. I believe I replied, “Are you nuts? Of course!” That’s me, li’l miss romantic. No date yet. Very happy and excited. That’s…about it. Just wanted to share the news. 😃 ---

Everyone’s getting married or engaged! When’s it my turn? WHEN’S IT MY… Oh wait. Husband on the other computer. Kids watching cartoons. Shutting up now. Caught up in the moment. Nothing more to see here. (Congratulations. :D) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hamlet \* > \*\*Congratulations, and best wishes. If he’s anything like you… we’re all screwed. \*\* I will still kick your ass. Plus now, I’ve got a ring on my punchin’ hand to really mess you up. You won’t be pretty no more! Oh, and thanks! Poor **Hama** …always the bride…never the bride. So sad. **Ringo** , not only a Texan, but also the possibility that the wedding would be in Houston. What the hell was I thinking?! **John Mullets** , I think that is the best wish anyone can wish for us right now. Let’s just say Vegas is starting to look good. Thanks again everyone! ---

Yaaaaaaay for engagements! Congratulations, you crazy kids! My advice is, don’t let any of your relatives get involved in the wedding planning. ---
