I'm ENGAGED!!!!!! And I got a new job!!! It's been a good week

It has been a wonderful couple of weeks.  On June 13 I was lucky enough to grab lunch with Stefan at Fat Heads

After lunch I got to see Stefan in the play The Producers.  Stefan was in the pit orchestra and did AMAZING!!

The next day, Sunday June 14 was our 6 month anniversary.  After I got done work Stefan told me to dress up for one of his gigs that we were going to.  I got dressed up (and looked cute!)

We had a few minutes before Stefans gig, so we dropped by huntington beach to walk around.  We walked down to the beach, but because of impending thunderstorms, the life guards told us we couldn't be on the beach.  So we walked around a bit longer until we found a bench overlooking the lake.  I said "Let's sit here for a while" to which Stefan replied "I'd prefer you stand for just a minute."  He said some really sweet things and then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.  A sweet old woman was walking by and said "Can I take a picture for you?"  Yes!!! 

Since we were only 5 minutes from his parents house, we broke the news to Stefan's family first (and my family was a close second!)  I'm so excited to be getting such an amazing mother-in-law and sister-in-law!!

Stefan's mom gave us a gift card to TGIFridays.  Of course I was raving about my ring and showing it off (as evidenced by the picture), so they gave us a free ice cream sunday to congratulate us!!

Over the next few days I took hundreds of pictures of my AWESOME new ring.  Stefan picked it out all by himself and did an AMAZING job.  I couldn't have picked out a better one.  BEST FIANCE EVER!!

A few days later I met up with my matron of honor, Mitch and I even got MITCH HUGS (the best kinds of hugs!!)

On Thursday I was offered a full time job at a prestigious university in their law library!  It took me 4 months of interviewing to get this job, so I was relieved to say the least!  The next day I tendered my resignation at Oberlin Public Library:

That weekend Stefan still had multiple runs of The Producers going, so while he was working I had Mitch, Dom and KW over to help me celebrate my engagement/new job by playing Adventure time Munchkins.  Dom KILLED us all in the first round and Mitch won in the second round.

It's been a good week.  While I'm excited to be engaged, I'm even more excited about the fact that I've found my soulmate...I've found the one I want to spend forever with <3

Trampolines, Food, Earrings, Jobs (or lack thereof), Bowling, Food and Music.

A couple of weeks ago, Stefan surprised me by taking me out to Skyzone, an indoor trampoline gym.  It was super fun...right up until I busted my left knee and Stefan rolled his ankle.  While we were taking a break from jumping, Stefan went to put his arm around me and accidentally pulled out an earring which flew below the trampolines.  Lol sigh.  Other than that, look how much fun: 

Afterwards we went back to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner, the mellow mushroom in Rocky River for salad and calzones. Yummmm.

 

 

 

The next day, Sunday, I went to work, and was surprised by Stefan who had purchased me a new set of earrings to replace the ones lost at Skyzone.  HOW SWEET?!  Right?!!

 

Believe it or not, my life does not 100% revolve around Stefan.  I've been applying for jobs and going on interviews.  Look how cute my interview outfit is:

When I get a job rejection, I tend to deal with it by reading.  Thank goodness for the Way of Kings.  It'll be there for me to read for the next couple of weeks (as it's over 1,000 pages). Yay for finding comfort in books.

Our Wednesday date last week was Bowling and Applebees.  I won the first round of bowling by 10 and Stefan won the second round by 10!

 

Stefan got a last minute gig with the True North Orchestra, and they did great!!  It was 3 hours, but it was a fun 3 hours!

We had some other minor dates, that I forgot to take pictures of, like dinner and talking or just reading Harry Potter together.  Every moment with Stefan is a wonderful moment.  Tonight I'm working and Stefan is playing with his Oompa band, so we had to push our Wednesday night date back to Thursday.
