“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”
~ “When Harry Met Sally”

thanks to everyone for the hearty and heartfelt congratulations from around the world.

i couldn’t be more happy or excited for what this journey will hold for us and who i am lucky enough to have by my side. please don’t wake me from this fairy tale. if it’s just a dream, i’m content to stay soundly asleep for the rest of my life.

we’re looking at wedding bands today. and i desperately need a manicure to help show off this gorgeous ring.

Brandon and i sadly part ways on Friday. after spending the better part of every day together for the last year, we have decided to prep for Step 1 on an individual basis. i think his parents will appreciate the few extra months with their only child and my mom will appreciate helping me plan a wedding when i’m not a zillion million miles away.

… as such, regularly scheduled programming should commence this weekend. you know what to expect: me writing about how i have no time to write because i’m busy studying for some little exam and planning a small get-together for friends and family around the world.
