First, thanks to everyone for all of your congratulations!

Second, thanks to the lovely La for the link which has tripled my traffic!

So. Yes.  This engaged thing.  To answer some general questions: Nope, we don’t know when it will be.  Nope, we don’t know where it will be.  Yes, you are all invited!

Right now I think that Will and I are both stuck in an almost limbotic state.  We’re both incredibly excited at the idea of being married and want to run head first into the wedding planning stage.  At the same time, we are both terrified and realizing what a huge commitment we are making and are okay with just being engaged for now.

What’s amazing is how antsy I was to get married while we were dating.  Now that we’re engaged I swing back and forth between “Yay! Married!” and “Yay! Long Engagement!”

I do know how great it has been to finally announce the engagement on my blog.  All I wanted to do last Monday night after we had calmed down a little was jump on my blog and announce it, and it took all of my energy to hold myself in check.  Never before have my two worlds seemed farther apart and all I could think of was the phone calls with people shrieking “I had to find out by reading your blog?!?”

I am going to try not to become “all wedding all the time” but, at the same time, I have a week’s worth of “ohmigod I’m engaged!” stories to tell!
