if you\u2019ve been reading what i\u2019ve written for a couple of years now, you\u2019ll remember me mentioning MNB (my new boyrfriend). i started writing about him almost two years ago, when we first started dating. i wrote about going with him to his first triathlon, about doing a triathlon with him, about going to the movies with him, about camping, about how great it was to be in love. i wrote about when we broke up, but didn\u2019t go into any detail about the many ups and downs of the relationship.<\/p>\n
until now. <\/p>\n
when we go places, we still run into people who want to know if THIS is MNB. <\/p>\n
he used to be.<\/p>\n
but as of about eight o\u2019clock last night, his status has changed.<\/p>\n
he\u2019s now MFH.<\/p>\n
my future husband.<\/p>\n
yep, engaged. he said “grace smith, will you marry me?” and i said yes. OF COURSE I WILL!<\/p>\n
it feels great, but also kind of surreal, since i\u2019ve never ever been proposed to or engaged or going to be MARRIED.<\/p>\n
jim was surprised and happy. amy was happy, but i know the night before she\u2019d been whispering stuff to MFH like “WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO POP THE QUESTION?” and just yesterday i know she called him and told him something wedding-related. not that she was pressing for it or anything.<\/p>\n
mom and dad weren\u2019t surprised but they were quite happy and when we went to their house they offered us some of dad\u2019s delicious leftover birthday cake, but we were too delirious to accept any. it\u2019s probably too late now to get any of it.<\/p>\n
dad said YOU DON\u2019T NEED TO START PLANNING ANYTHING NOW, and he said we need to keep it simple, and not to listen to all the tons of advice we\u2019re going to get. not if we don\u2019t want it, anyway.<\/p>\n
and then we went to randy\u2019s and he said WE HAVE TO START PLANNING RIGHT AWAY! LISTS, WE NEED TO MAKE LISTS! he brought up mom\u2019s surprise birthday party we had a few years ago, which involved much planning and lots of lists and boy that was a lot of work. hmm, we\u2019re going to have to figure out how to make this plan less stressful. maybe randy and amy can be in charge of everything. that would make it infinitely easier, but of course the wedding would end up costing about a million bucks, probably.<\/p>\n
so we\u2019ll just see. randy says he can do things very economically, but also FABULOUSLY.<\/p>\n
MFH\u2019s mom, nancee, asked him today if, now that we\u2019re going to be married, i\u2019ll use his REAL NAME.<\/p>\n
ok, it\u2019s kevin. <\/p>\n
who is MY FUTURE HUSBAND.<\/p>\n
weird, and crazy. <\/p>\n
and very very exciting.<\/p>\n
and that\u2019s all my news on this (ridiculously chilly although somebody just told me it\u2019s snowing in wyoming so at least i don\u2019t live there) lovely friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
may grace. soon to be MARRIED.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
