Ring-a-ling!
While The Hotness was home on leave we had a small family party here at Casa de la Buggie so that everyone could see him before his return to Kuwait 
He gathered everyone on our back porch and thanked them for coming to see him, he then called me over to stand with him. He began reminiscing about the start of our relationship and how he asked me to move in with him by “proposing we try ‘playing house’ for awhile and see how it goes”. And how everything has gone so splendidly that he had one more proposal for me (see where this is going?) 
The moment he whipped out the ring box everyone around us went crazy and the ladies in the crowd all yelled out “WAIT WE NEED OUR CAMERAS!” and they all stampeded back into the house *chuckle* The Hotness just kind of looked at me and asked “What do I do?” and I shrugged and said “Wait I guess.” So there we stood, him clutching a ring box and me giggling at the fact that in my family nothing will ever go according to plan.
Finally, everyone came flying back out of the house cameras in hand and he hit the ground on one knee and asked me to marry him After a yes from me the time after turned into a whirlwind of hugs, laughter, and tons of pictures from everyone…for me I couldn’t have been happier to have my family and friends share in the moment and it was a picture perfect proposal in my book. The actual pictures from the whole thing are rather shaky as our photographer (Maria) was jumping around hootin’ n’ hollerin’ with everyone else (view more photos here):
So with all that said I’m now a spoken for woman (HA!) and the crazy process of wedding planning will begin in earnest when The Hotness returns in a few months. For now I’m just enjoying wearing the ring and playing the part of the blushing fiancee

I did not just type But.
BUG and The Hotness.
You may be amused to know I typed “But and the Hortness” the first time, so at least I typo’d both your names. heeee.

I had some connecting problems (and still have) and that is why I am late. My hearthfelt congratulations to you.
And tell you friends and family to buy mobile phones with cameras. So they don’t have to run and you don’t have to wait.
