I've called him my fiance off and on for a while now, we both wanted to get married, but we have been living paycheck to paycheck for the past year now. But over the weekend (saturday) I was surprised when Bryan got down on one knee and pulled out a engagement ring after dinner at our favorite restraunt and before going to see my favorite band (Dixie chicks) in concert. The sushi chef at the restraunt was so happy for us (we're his favorite customers) he got out an old dusty box and handed it to us, inside were 5 handcrafted japanese bowls. They were beautiful, but not as beautiful as my new engagement ring. I'm so excited! Anyway, I just thought I'd share the news.

LOL . . . Well, plans are already underway, the reception and ceremony sites (which are the same place) have been booked, I bought a gown about 2 weeks ago, I'm in the process of try to find bridesmaid gowns--I saw one for $420.00! Can you believe how much bridesmaid gowns are!!!! My WEDDING GOWN was only 475! It's absolutely rediculous. I've been to a florist, and bryan has picked out tuxes. We are well on our way!

Here's my gown if your interested:

WOO HOO!!! Congrats Mikki!! Here is the funny thing, just as I was reading this the Dixie Chicks were on 60 Minutes II!

If you have a Maurice's near you try them for bridesmaid gowns...one of my sisters did that and our dresses were mondo cheap. Try looking in department stores rather than the bridal shops.

Again CONGRATULATIONS & BEST OF EVERYTHING!!
