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
