As the weekend wore on, we found out that Debra didn't just "know" we were going to get married--she had shared it with her friends. Apparently, at lunch one day last week, they had asked about David and she stated that he was getting married but "don't tell anyone yet--he hasn't told us yet." Cute.
On Monday, I called both of my grandparents to tell them the news. Grandma Stainbrook was excited and informed me she thinks another of my cousins will be getting engaged soon. She also said that St. Louis was pretty far to travel, but she would make the exception for my wedding. Thanks. The phone call to Grandma Brownback was a hoot. She first asked me what size I thought my dress would be (whatever fits and can be found at the Goodwill, Grandma) and then said, "Isn't that quick? But, you know, it's ok. Because you're old. How old are you now? 27? God!" She also questioned whether David would love my dog (she's amazing, of course he does!).
AND Grandma Brownback is supportive of our August date because the planting will be done. Yes! Planting is done!!
On that note...a date has been set. We decided on August 1st...and the church has been reserved!
So now I've got a whirl-wind of activity. On Friday I meet with a mortgage counselor and a real estate agent about buying a house (oh yeah....that too) and then on Tuesday and Thursday Mom and I are going dress shopping. I'm pushing hard for the Goodwill, but have made appointments at "real" places too. David filed his taxes so I'll be getting a ring eventually (you can laugh--I think it's funny too). I'm glad it's coming--I had figured we would be celebrating our 1 year anniversary before he officially proposed :)
Thank goodness for Spring Break!!
