Update :)

I have been so busy basking in the light of this engagement this week. While I don't particularly like the attention of strangers who sneak into my conversations with my friends, I LOVE the positive attention from my wonderful friends and family.

Phillip and I have so much great support, and that feeling is pretty incredible. We haven't had one single person say anything remotely negative, or even neutral.

I also can't stop looking at my ring! It sparkles so much! I wake up every morning and the first thing I do is hold up my hand. I feel like I need to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. This ring reminds me of the best weekend of my life, and all the feelings I have for Phillip surface. Who knew that such a material possession could have the power to bring up so many non-material emotions?

I miss him a lot too. Probably more than I ever have. I do get to see him this Tuesday (for my birthday) and he's staying through Sunday. But it can't come soon enough. I have never felt this much love for him or from him. This is such an incredible high and I don't want it to ever go away.

When he proposed to me, I didn't cry - though I wanted to. But since then, my emotions have been building and now I tear up every time I think about that night, the future, and our love. This state I'm in is love euphoria and I don't want it to end. Ever.

I am truly the happiest girl in the entire world.
