Yay!
I noticed that yesterday and today there has been a large spike in traffic to my blog. Perhaps it was due to my Pulitzer prize winning article on April Fools Day. Or perhaps it was because two days ago I got engaged. Yeah, that's probably it. For those of you who are coming to this blog for the first time looking for extra details, you are likely to continue finding them here. Not to disappoint, but we have a few pictures so far. Everyone wants to know about the ring, so there is a picture of that, along with some pictures of the proposal site, here. I'm not exactly sure if that link works or not, if it doesn't work (and you let me know about it) I can email you a link.
Anyway, not a whole lot of details have been set yet. We know we want to have the wedding sometime in June of '07, so keep that month open for now (what, like you were going to plan something else 15 months in advance?). Any suggestions or ideas about the wedding are welcome at this point. We're still adjusting to the fact that we are engaged and recovering from the hours spent on the phone with people screaming at us. Speaking of which, I think the count of people who said "Well I can't say I'm surprised" hit around 20, Catherine wins for highest pitched screams, Stacy Wasserman wins for most original thing said over the phone, my dad wins an apology from me for spoiling his news (he bought a convertible and was literally driving off the lot when I called him), and my mom and sis get the special unexpected award; they drove down from Peabody to our apartment with a bottle of champagne to celebrate (unfortunately, it was 9 o'clock, Becky and I had been on the phone for 2 hours with only family, and we hadn't eaten since our picnic, so the visit was brief. But it's the thought that counts).
So there it is. Becky and I are spending most of this week seeing people and celebrating. If I haven't seen you since Sunday we should plan a time to celebrate as well. If you have left Boston for some reason (what's the matter with you?) let me know when you will be back, and we'll celebrate.

Any spiking in traffic for me is simply due to the fact that sometimes I get distracted and click on someone's blog about four times in a row.
My birthday is in June of '07! Actually, my birthday is in June of every year. I think I will enjoy your wedding even more than turning 24.
