yeah, so...I'm engaged :)

and I apologize if you were somehow unaware of this fact until now. Truth is, I've been engaged for a month now. (I know, this post is way overdue.)

Since I need to start posting regularly on my blog again, and can't imagine skipping this most joyous announcement, I figured it was time I put SOMETHING up here about it. To some extent, the engagement was one of the reasons I think I got out of the habit of posting. I mean, other than the fact that I was busy doing the things one does before getting engaged, and am now busy doing the things one does after getting engaged to prepare for getting married...it was such a milestone in my life, I felt like I couldn't post about other things until I posted about it. And it seemed like one of those things that I couldn't just throw out to the world as a two-word post. (You see my predicament? It seemed like one of those catch-22 things.)

Anyways, here I go condensing an ocean into a couple drops of minute details that people would typically ask through the natural flow of social interaction deemed appropriate for this sort of occasion:
