I took no pictures of the whole even because Zander got a camcorder as one of his presents and he filmed the whole thing. Hey, I only have two hands... I did however recieve exactly what I was hoping for! I love my ring, and the man that comes with it. David is everything I ever prayed for. He even matches the hair color and no one will ever be the wiser!
What a great ending to an eventful year! I suppose now I must bring the camera everywhere I go. Not a bad thing. I will get more pictures posted and keep the events updated. Now that I'm a stay-at-homer again, I think I can fit it in! I'm sure we can fit blogging into Sarah's homeschool curriculum somewhere! And yes, I am crazy!

I haven't weighed in yet, but I found the perfect poem to post in celebration of your engagement. Although the poem was original written as part of a bereavement process for the poet, it is quite universal, especially the last verse. You've been through some tough stuff, as we all have, and so I think you can identify with the sentiments of difficulty. I love his use of nature and color. And his voice is spectacular.
And so may a slow wind work these words of love around you...
It was written by a poet named John O'Donohue, who died this month. He was quite a guy, and I like his writing and books. And since we are Irish after all, I thought I'd post this for you here.

Hear the NPR segment here, and hear him read the poem:

Beannacht ("Blessing") by John O’Donohue
On the day when
the weight deadens
on your shoulders
and you stumble,
may the clay dance
to balance you.
And when your eyes
freeze behind
the grey window
and the ghost of loss
gets in to you,
may a flock of colours,
indigo, red, green,
and azure blue
come to awaken in you
a meadow of delight.
When the canvas frays
in the currach of thought
and a stain of ocean
blackens beneath you,
may there come across the waters
a path of yellow moonlight
to bring you safely home.
May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.
