Things That Make Me Happy
I met the right guy.
He asked me to marry him.
When we told his father, he said, 'I wouldn't have wanted anyone else' (to be his daughter-in-law).
When I told my first friend, she squealed, 'I'll be there in five minutes!' and she was, even though it meant she was going to be late to a tournament. (She's one of my BMs.)
Two of my BMs sent me sweet 'thank you' cards for asking them to be in the wedding party.
When I asked my sister to be my MOH (the day after we got engaged), the following day she started calling catering halls and searching around online, even though she lives in another state. She started researching everything before I did.
Before we got engaged, she was worried that her boyfriend was going to propose before mine was. She went to my mother and asked what she should do, because she wanted me to be the one to have the honor of being engaged first (because I'm the oldest). She said she would ask her boyfriend not to propose until after we got engaged. When I found out, I called her and told her how amazingly thoughtful that was, but told her not to be silly and I would be happy for her, no matter what order we got engaged in! But she still insisted that it should be my 'special time' first.
Someone who reads my newsletter, but has never met me, sent me the most amazing basket of goodies for our engagement.
There are more, but I'm forgetting things now. So... what are some of the things that have happened since your engagement that make you happy?
