after much "persuasion" from the girls. 
Honestly, I wasn't going to post this, because I'm never around anymore, and I lost touch with everything that goes on around here, that I felt like what right do I have to post this. (Hope that makes sense and doesn't sound rude..sometimes I have a hard time expressing myself clearly.  ) I just went through so much in the past 1 1/2 years, and when my computer went down for over a month...I just couldn't get back on track or keep up with everyone! So anyway, enough of my babbling.  So, here ya go - I'm just going to paste the email I sent out here.
**********************************************************
Just wanted to let you all know the good news....
Mikey and I are getting married! 
Oh, and hi BTW! LOL
So, I know I'm crap at keeping in touch with you all, but you should know that I think of ya's all the time. And, I do get the occasional email in there!  But seriously, I wanted to share my good news with you.
As you know, Mikey and I have been together for quite awhile now. In ways it seems like forever, and yet it seems like it only just begun. He's my best friend, my soul mate, and I've never been happier or more sure of anything in my whole entire life. I feel so lucky and blessed! So on to the proposal details!
On Saturday, Mikey's parents were having their annual 4th of July bash. So, I drove over to his house on Saturday afternoon so we could head over. Well, on the way to the party, we stopped at The Jug to pick up ice, at least that's what he said as we pulled in. (The Jug is short for The Jughandle Inn, a local bar, BTW.) On the way walking in to get ice, he stopped me, pulled out a card and told me I had to read it right there. This also happened to be the spot where we had our first kiss. So, I read the card (lots of mushy stuff! LOL), and when I was finished he pointed to the sign for the Jug. I looked over and saw "FWOGGY WILL YOU MARRY ME". (I'm Fwoggy, BTW. LOL) See pic below:
This sign is on a main highway BTW. Anyway, I said, "Holy [censored]!" (yes, my dad said, "Isn't she so romantic!" LMAO), and he whipped out the ring and asked me, to which I said YES!!!!! Then, after lots of kissing and hugging, he said, "Let's go in," so I said, "Do we still need to get ice?" (Duh, can you tell I was flustered? LOL) We walk in and there's Matt (his son) playing a video game, and his dad and aunt were at a table. Mikey turns to me and says, "BTW, there's no party today - it's on Monday." We all hung out for a little while and my dad and his GF showed up so we ate dinner, and that was that!
And his aunt kept Matt for the night.  hehe
Oh, and since EVERYONE keeps asking what the heck is up with "Fwoggy", I might as well tell you that also. Last year, Piper dug a hole in my car seat, so I patched it up and I wanted to get seat covers. Mikey and I went to the store to check them out, and I saw ones with a pair of frogs sitting on a branch on them. Haha - here there are! http://www.frogstore.com/catalog/Treefrogs-Bucket-Seat-Cover-One-p-3303.html For the heck of it, I just tried searching for them online and there they were...LOL Anyway, Mikey ended up going back to the store and buying them for me and surprising me with them later that week. So, one day Mikey said the frogs were us and he was the one on the right cuz he's always looking over at me! LOL So, somehow we started calling each other Froggy and it eventually (don't remember when or how) it evolved into Fwog or Fwoggy.
So, we are actually considering doing the deed when we go to Vegas for the Fall Sprawl. Still thinking on that one though. If not, we will be going to a local place called Cathedral of the Woods. (Sharon, don't know if you are familiar with it - it's in Medford). I love this place. Here's a pic of it: http://www.ronsaari.com/stockImages/newJersey/CathedralOfTheWoods.php
Oh yeah, and I LOVE the ring. It is based off of this design: http://www.custom-engagement-rings.com/images/heather14wlg.jpg
The end.
Hope all of you are doing well!
