Enagagement Party Week

Last week Abe and I got engaged (still can't believe it!). One of the best parts of getting engaged is that everyone wants to celebrate with us!


During the week we met up at the Robeling Tea Room with a bunch of our NYC friends and family.



On Saturday we drove up to Massachusetts and my parents had a little BBQ with some of their friends (practically family) and Dave and Brit were able to come by for a little bit too.

On Sunday, Abe and I woke up super early and drove our butts back to New York to see my sister and her boyfriend. They were visiting his dad, which is awesomely near Beacon, so we had another BBQ, got to meet his dad, played with Wesley, and chopped down a cherry tree.

Abe and I also did a ton of yard work this weekend. Can't wait to share photos of the garden plans!

The Great Comic Debate of 2010

You may remember the Great Cracker Debate of 2009, and today I am here to bring you the Great Comic Debate of 2010.

If you were in solitary confinement for the rest of your life and couldn't have anything in your cell except a daily comic (but you can collect them and keep them all) would you rather have Cathy or Ziggy or Family Circus?

Beacon Weekend: Big, BIG News!

This weekend was really fun: bowling on Friday, a delicious dinner at Walter Foods and my friend Aaron's birthday party in Brooklyn on Saturday, my first trip to Stew Leonard's, and crazy, insane storms that ripped trees from the earth.

However, probably the most exciting thing happened late Sunday afternoon while on a walk at Jay Sharp Park on the Hudson River in Beacon.

It was there, in knee-high rain boots, wading in the flooded park, that Abe proposed to me and...

WE ARE ENGAGED
!!!

I can't even begin to describe how excited we both are - we've been together for over 4 years and I couldn't wait for this day! He managed to surprise the life out of me, and when he pulled out the ring all I could say was "Are you serious?!" I was stunned for a minute and then my iPod when off and Adam Lambert started playing from my pocket. That broke my daze and we immediately started calling family and friends.

Four years ago I had told him about a ring I saw at the Cooper Hewitt Museum made by a Brooklyn designer named Kiel Mead and he actually remembered! Love you, Abe!

No dates or details figured out yet, but I am realllly looking forward to planning my wedding. Talk about the ultimate craft project....eeek!
