EXCITING News!

And no Missy, I'm NOT having twins. Still just one little heartbeat in there!

So, last night I got a phone call from my baby sister. At first, the conversation was fairly nonchalant. Then, she says, "You know how after I went on my first date with Jeremy, you said you were 'calling it' and that we would end up getting married? Well, you're right! He proposed to me today!". So the big, crazy, exciting news is that Heidi and Jeremy are getting married!

Of course, I made her come right over to my house to give me all the details. For them, it was pretty much a basic Saturday. They went shopping in Greenwood, came back to town, and then went to his house to watch a movie. And out of the blue, he gets down on one knee and said those magic words. And Heidi's initial response? I believe her exact words (as she told it to me) were, "Seriously? Are you seriously asking me to marry you?". And then she said yes and cried! It's a good story, and one that will likely only get funnier as time goes on.

She said she's thinking they'll set the date for the end of September. Which (selfishly) will work out well for me, since she's already asked me to be her matron on honor; it gives me a little time to start losing baby weight. Plus, she's already got plans forming for Baby Lakes to be a flower girl or ring bearer (in name only, of course!). The only rough thing is that the bridal shower, which I've started thinking about because I'm anal retentive, will need to be about 2 months before the wedding. That just so happens to also be the time, oh, I'll be ready to pop out a baby! So lots of planning and excitement to come, but I just had to share the exciting news! It looks like 2009 is a big year for this family!
