THANK GOD! I am back! From a long long long long long, well not really too long...but what seemed like a long time away from the internet. The computer finally fucking died. We had it on life support for a little while, and it had the strength to pull it's own plug. So now, we have Gordon's computer. I never liked him too much in high school, but now that we have his computer I like him a little better. :D

Where to start. OH, I know! Mark and I are officially engaged now. Ring and everything. We got taxes back and went out on the town, ate at a nice but overpriced retaurant and bought some naughty lingerie for BOTH of us and came home and had engagement sex. It was nice. So is my ring...well nice isn't the word. It's FUCKING GORGEOUS. It's a platinum cathedral setting, with one large diamond and two smaller ones on each side, all round, about 2 total carats. Mwahahahaa. It's very beautiful...the diamonds are amazing, the cut is perfect which of course practically sets them on fire. I honestly can't believe I own something like this, or, he, being the tightwad that he is would drop money on something like that for me. I know jewelery or money isn't a reflection of love, but it's very special. For all the rough times I've had lately raising two kids and being susie homemaker, and other assorted nonsense, it was a wonderful surprise. And we are so happy, even if he had gotten me a gumball machine ring I would have loved it...in fact, he did at one point and I still have it. So now we are going to plan a nice wedding, which initially we were going to Gatlinburg but we decided to have a wedding, and really start out our life together and do it right. I can't wait, I love my red headed scotsman. I will take a pic of my ring and post it up here soon...tee!

Jonathan is doing very well, he's 5 months old now and a mover and a shaker. It's getting to where I can hardly keep up with him anymore and loving it all the time. Sure, I'm pulling my hair out but I never thought I'd be in love with a short chubby man who drools.

Grace is ok, I guess. She really wants her mommy right now, but Jenni's grandmother died today...and she's having a hard time with it. She hasn't been able to get her this week and it's her week so I don't know how any of it is going to go. And Grace of course doesn't understand so. We'll see how that goes.

Well I guess that's it for now, of course more later...
