He put a ring on it :P

I know most, if not all, of my blog followers already know, but.....I'M ENGAGED!!!



 Here's how it happened.....

We had gone out to dinner and Mike said he wanted to go to the beach for sunset and fireworks over Navy Pier. We got to the beach, and it was kinda overcast and stormy, but still beautiful. I love any bodies of water during a storm, so breath taking. We laid down on a blanket, and then he says, "Get up I think I dropped something". So I get up and he says "turn around" and I turn around and he's down on one knee and says "Will you marry me, Katie?" and then a big gust of wind comes and there's hair in my face. It was all very dramatic lol. But so romantic and of course I said YESSSSS!!!!

The day I flew back from DC, Mike and I had a wedding to attend to which he bought Dress Blues for! He looks so great in them <3


School has been super insane. I really hate my school. They suck. They're hypocritical and the professors don't know how to teach or grade. So not worth the money I pay. But my online classes continue to kill me. Just 4 weeks left of this semester. Then I have about 2 weeks off and then I start my Clinical Practicum! I'll actually be counseling people. EEEEKKKK! I'm doing clinicals at a Substance Abuse clinic so it should be pretty interesting.

We've signed the Chuggs up for some training. He needs lots of help on leash walking and some other basics. I wish training could get rid of his gas. Man that dog farts like none other. Yucky. Haha.

I'll post some pics of my recent baking successes in the next post! I'm making Cookie Dough Cupcakes today!
