CONGRATS AMY AND LUKE...oh yeah, happy birthday to me

It finally happened - and on my birthday (it should have happened the weekend before but I will get to that)! I am finally going to get a younger brother - Amy and Luke are getting hitched...

So Luke proposed on Saturday, the 12th of July (yes - what a birthday present for me - like Amy told me "You got engaged on ALL of OUR Thanksgiving") while they were fishing. You see, Luke had been trying to Amy to go fishing with him over the 4th while Joe and I were in town but Amy didn't want to...she didn't feel like it. So thanks to my baby sister - I now have to wait FOREVER to actually see her ring in person and to try it on of course.


It was quite cute because Amy called me as I was walking into Target about 9 AM that morning and I asked to call her back when I got home and she said no because Luke wasn't her boyfriend anymore but her finacee. My next thought was "what is wrong with Luke, why the heck didn't he propose while we were in town." Amy was laughing and crying and Luke got on the phone and to let me know how that was his plan (to ask over the 4th) but that Amy wouldn't agree to go fishing. Since I was in Target, I couldn't scream and jump up and down (well I could have but security might have escorted me out) so I waited until I was in my car and screamed the whole way home.

Joe and I couldn't be more excited for the two lovebirds and look what we started - The week of our wedding, my friend Angela got engaged and I was in her wedding in Feb, Joe and I will be in Todd and Anna's in September and now I (at least I hope I will be) will be in another one next year. Geez, the old saying "Always a bridesmaid never bride" was off base for me. I wasn't "always a bridesmaid" until AFTER I was a bride.

Well, CONGRATULATIONS Amy and Luke - Can't wait until the big day. Oh Luke - are you sure you're ready to be a part of this family? I don't know if you know what your in for but feel free to call Joe if you ever need his advice!
