Celebration and Day After

I woke up this morning very tired. There was so much celebration last night from my new engagement It was so awesome. Mr. Groom treated me to a wonderful lunch of 'On the Border' (I wanted it so bad because our church sermon that day had salsa in it). We tried to go tell his parents of our engagement, but his parents weren't home. We told his brother and sister-in-law though, and it was a wonderful reaction we got. So we couldn't wait any longer for his parents (it was almost 5 o'clock and they were an hour and a half away) so we left to go back to my house. My parents were just getting home from Bike Week in Daytona, so I had told my mom over the phone, but this was the first time she saw the ring. My stepdad wasn't back yet, but my mom was happy (adamant about us waiting a little while before getting married). So we did the horses as normal, and when we go home from the horses we just chilled out. My stepdad and uncle finally got home and we broke the news to them. They were very excited, and pretty much had an identical reaction to my mom. So in celebration we all went out to the Olive Garden, with a toast from my stepdad. I was surprised at how well he was taking it, he used to not like Mr. Groom. But now he likes Mr. Groom more than me! SO after awesome food was eaten and the drinks were drunk, we made our way back to my house. Mr. Groom and I went to my room to celebrate in privacy… with a wild game of MarioKart! I kicked his butt. Before we knew it, it was 1 o'clock in the morning! So he left to go to his house, and I fell asleep. And when I woke up, I had this gorgeous engagement ring on my left hand! It finally hit me I was engaged, and I had a fiance! It's so amazing. I can't wait to see the rest!
