The Proposal

You need to know this first: over the summer Dancer wrote a cute message on my bathroom mirror. It said "Dancer + Babs" with a heart around it. It is still there.

So....
It was your typical Tuesday (except for the fact that I had to go vote). I put Lil'babs to bed around 8pm. Dancer came over shortly after. He brought ice cream, my favorite. We sat and talked about our day over ice cream and while I graded papers. We always have great conversations and he is a great listener. I don't remember what time it was, but we decided to get ready for bed. While we were in my room, he started to head to the masterbathroom so I announced "I gotta go pee too" and headed to the other bathroom. He followed me. I thought for a quick second that that was kinda odd. When I walked into the guest bathroom, I saw a cute box with a silver ribbon sitting on the counter. I thought that it was strange that there was a gift in the bathroom. But hey, it was a gift, what do I care what room it is in? I turned and Dancer was standing in the doorway. I said something like- Oh, look someone got me a gift. (big grin) Why is it in the bathroom? Is it for the toilet or something?..I was laughing at the fact that there was a gift in the bathroom, but excited to be receiving it. He said"look at the mirror" which I am surprised I didn't notice when I first walked in because I am always looking in the mirror. I looked up and written on the mirror was "Babs, will you marry me?" I started screaming and jumping up and down. My shoulder hits the shelf and falls to the floor breaking the objects on it. Lil'babs woke up for 1/2 a second from the screaming, too. So, I open the box and there is the ring... the sparkling, blind your eye, ring. He takes it out and puts it on my finger. I start jumping up and down again while headed to the bedroom. I flop down on the bed, overjoyed and staring at the ring. Dancer says "I'm guessing that is a yes?" "Yes, of course" I said. After that is kinda a blur, but the feeling was pure joy. I have never been so happy cleaning up broken glass off the floor either. We celebrated with champagne that he brought over in the cooler in which he had transported the ice cream in. He's good, eh? The ice cream was a cover up for what was really in the cooler. I will leave the rest of the evening up to your imagination, but I am sure you can guess what happened ;-D

I was very surprised, which was his main goal. He did a fabulous job picking out the ring, I am sure that is the hardest part for a guy, which makes me love it that much more. Dancer is so awesome!

I told Lil'babs about it Wed. eve. She was so thrilled that she started jumping up and down and screamed. Hmm...I guess she comes by that honestly?! Side note: poor thing, her hamster died today and she is just devastated.

So, there you have it, the details.

Here it is!!!

Going to the chapel....

and we're gonna get married.

Yes, dear readers, you read that correctly.

Dancer proposed to me last night.
I said yes, of course.
I am a giddy little school girl,
Telling the whole world.
I get to share the rest of my life,
With the love of my life.

It's been a while....

are you still checking out my blog? Sorry I haven't been here. I have been so busy. There just are not enough hours in the day to get done what I want to get done.

I have been fighting with allergies since the end of Sept. They are finally starting to go away. Now Lil'babs has them. Ugh, I hate Texas in the fall.

I finished student teaching Kindergarten a week ago Friday. I miss those little boogers so much. I really got attached. I even cried that day. Man what am I gonna do when i have my own class for a whole year? I started student teaching in 2nd grade last Mon. I will be in there until mid Dec. Man are those kids so much bigger than the kinders!! It should be interesting.

I have just updated my resume and will be submitting applications this week to a few of the school districts in the area. Right now I would just be thilled to get a teaching job. There is not much hiring going on during this part of the year. I can always sub, but the pay sucks and I could really use a salary and insurance.

Still waiting on the results from my state test. I was suppose to receive them Friday by email, but I didn't get them. Hope to hear something soon.

Lil'babs has been getting into trouble at school. She talks too much. I wonder where she gets that from? She also has had an attitude at home. We are working on her attitude adjustment. Also, big kuddos to her...she has slept in her bed all night long for the past 5 nights!! I've allowed her to come in my room in the past and she slept on the floor on a sleeping bag. But she always woke me up. I finally told her she is a big girl and doesn't need to be doing that anymore. Guess I just had to put my foot down, hasn't been a strugle at all.

Dancer and I have been dating for a little over 5 months now. We spend a lot of time together and I am just thrilled with our relationship. We fit together like 2 peas in a pod!! I thoroughly enjoy every minute with him. Also, we are headed to Vegas in January. A really good friend of mine is getting married, so we are going for that. It will be for 4 fun days and 3 crazy nights! Can't wait!
