Congratulations Michelle and Joe!!!

I woke up this morning still kind of hyperventilating from excitement.....

MICHELLE AND JOE ARE ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

*moment for composure*

Ok, I'm better now.

But seriously, none of us saw this coming at ALL. She texted me last night telling me to come to SAE last night because she had something to tell me, but then decided she was coming back to our house, so I thought well it has to be something good, but I was not exactly expecting this! I had to go get some sour cream (which is a whole other story in itself.... but basically Nick and I found it was moldy after we had made everything for tacos and after I had already been to the store once after a long day at work. So. Annoying), and as I was walking up the to the house, so were Joe and Michelle. I was bitching about my sour cream adventures, and walked straight into the kitchen with them following. Finally, Michelle says, "So guess what?" and I turn around and she's holding up HER LEFT HAND with a beautiful 3-stone Princess cut ring (Joe did a good job, my friends). I screamed. Like, literally, the loudest, most high-pitched thing you can imagine. That was me. And then I attacked Michelle (and also Joe - not sure how he felt about that hahaha) with hugs and seriously had to keep myself from sobbing like a baby. And of course the rest of the roomies heard me scream and had some sort of an idea of what happened, so they came running down and it was just all happiness and joy and she told us the story and it's just perfect.

Michelle and Joe have been in it for the long haul, and I am so so SO happy that they are finally engaged! I mean, we all knew it was only a matter of time, they are moving in together this summer after all, but we did not expect it now, but I'm so glad it happened now!

So I am sending out yet another congratulations to Michelle and Joe - you guys have been so committed to each other for so long and I am so excited and happy for you that you are taking this next step! You truly love each other and that is a wonderful and (so it seems) rare thing these days.

Let the planning begin!!! :)

The adorable couple.
