    First off, I didn’t know YOU GOT ENGAGED! Congratulations. Coincidentally, August 5 was my two-year anniversary, and I thought FOR SURE we were getting engaged that night. No dice for me but I’m beyond happy for you. Hooray!

    Also, great recap. Lots of goodness all around. I love your listing of search terms that led to your blog. HILARIOUS. : )

    Congratulations on your Engagement!! That’s pretty exciting! Have you decorated your new house yet? Ohhh I’m so glad you posted a link to your Dream Thieves review! I saw Candice mention you in her review, but I couldn’t find it on your blog. I’m off to read it now!

    Have a great Labour Day Weekend!
