27th-Nov-2006 12:21 pm - thanksgiving update
sophie

wow, finally writing!  Here are the highlights of the past few weeks:

I got a new job.  It starts this coming monday and i'm excited for the raise and because this seems like a good career move.

Thanksgiving was good, we were at pete's parents house with some friends and neighbors and pete's family.  The food was excellent and we've been eating it for days now.  We went to see Heiko and Michelle on friday.  Games were played, food was eaten, overall great time.

I've gotten almost all of my christmas shopping done and managed to avoid the malls this past weekend.  A Crate & Barell opened up in town so i might have to check that out sometime, but other than 1 gift certificate i am done shopping.  I also got myself some new work clothes and a short haircut in honor of my new job, so i feel ready to go!

My computer has been running slow lately, so pete installed a registry cleaner and it found over 1000 errors.  (his machine had well over 2000 errors when he did the scan).  So that should help make it faster and not freeze so much.  I just wish there was a way to delete some old programs that wont go away, but oh well.

We got our christmas tree yesterday.  Its beatiful and smells amazing, people with fake trees are missing out!  I am in full christmas mode and cant wait to start decorating and enjoying the season.  My mood is significantly better because of my job situation too, so basically life is good!  Our cats are still crazy.  And christmas gives me a great opportunity to be crafty.  So overall mood is good and its a good time of year.

Well its happened.... Pete and I are engaged!

Its all very exciting and we are both happy, and so are family and friends.  Its been a crazy few days of telling peolpe and letting it all sink in.

This past Friday, after work, pete sent me on this scavenger hunt all around town.  I was looking for these locked containers, and with each clue, i got a key to open the next container.  Some of the stops included some gifts, like a flower and a watch.  They were mostly in places that we frequently visit or that have some meaning to us.  The final clue led me to a park we have visited before.  He had a nice dinner set up and after we ate, he got down on one knee and asked me.  I was definitely shocked, since i had talked myself out of this possibility earier in the day.  I then called my parents and then we went over to tell his parents.  They of course had an idea that it would happen soon, because he had talked to all of them about it recently.  So then, as it was slowly sinking in, we told other people, and now co-workers.  Everyones reaction is great and very encouraging, and much appreciated!

Now i get to shop for a ring and realize how much money everything costs.  I would love to have the wedding at someones house or something, so any volunteers?? :)
