Saturday November 14: on our 4 year and 9 month anniversary, John got down on one knee in Central Park, and asked me to marry him. I obviously said yes. : ) Highlights of sharing the news:
1. Calling my mom and avoiding the topic until I was about to burst, and hearing her scream.
2. Telling John's younger sister, who had no idea. A brief recap:
Me: Hey, your brother did something silly today.
Her: Uh oh, what'd he do?
Me: Well, we went to Central Park, and he asked me to marry him.
Her: ::high-pitched scream::
Me: And then I did something silly, cuz I said yes.
Her: ::silence:: screaming, JOHN ASKED MAUREEN TO MARRY HIM! ::silence:: AND SHE SAID YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was absolutely my favorite moment.
3. Listening to John's aunt fumble as she tried to figure out how to put us on speakerphone. Eventually, she gave up and just turned the volume all the way up and made everyone gather around the phone.
In more good news, the artists' reception for the Medford Arts Council is this Thursday night. It'll come at a good time because today was a rough day as far as job hunting, so an evening of validation will be good.
Stay tuned for more pics.
