So... I did my daily check on the Disney Cruise Line site to make sure the interior staterooms aren't booked up for the date we'd like to set sail. (Normally, I wouldn't want an inside stateroom. But DCL has their new ship, the Dream, and all the inside staterooms have a real-time view virtual porthole with a few "visitors" stopping by once in a while.)
I wanted to cry. They're all gone.

So I called DCL, and I talked to a very nice disney cast member lady who told me that, in fact, the interior rooms are completely booked up until Fall of 2011. EEK!
But she talked me into putting a 5-day hold on an oceanview room.
A little bit more, but well worth it. We'd have a few extra square feet and an actual porthole.
And we've decided to book it :)
I'm calling tomorrow to finalize the reservation! Yay!

(*hint hint* - we're registered at Disney's Honeymoon Registry)

Perfect Proposal

As of 1:00AM on July 4, I'm officially engaged.
And it feels oh so good.

Remember that book I made him for our 1 year anniversary, 365 Reasons I Love You?
On the last page I put one of those Jolee's scrapbook stickers in. It's an engagement ring in a box, well he took the little rinky-dink scrapbook ring out of the paper box and put the real thing in. He also spelled out "Will You Marry Me?" with some alphabet stickers.
We spent almost an hour reading it, and looking back on it I could tell he was taking a bit longer on the last few pages. Haha

It was so perfectly amazing. I texted a select few about the big news, and was freaking out as to why no one was responding. Then I remembered it was a little after 1 in the AM.

My ring is GORGEOUS. It sparkles in the dark, it's crazy. He did great, I'm so proud. It's exactly what I wanted. Princess-cut solitaire. (Or as everyone else is saying, "Princess for the Princess")

I love my fiancé with all my heart. 260 more days!
