Naturally, Abby got stuck in all the lights (typical white girl...), she's always doing things like that. She also runs into plants at stores... we're trying to help her, we really are.
Now, onto the BIG news. Abby and I got engaged last night! Look at us go. It all happened like this:
After spending a solid night making boats we decided to race them, that's where we were so romantically proposed to, it went a little something like this..
Jeff- "Hey wanna get married?"
Me- "Sure, how about tomorrow?"
Jeff- "Ok, how does 11 sound?"
Abby- "I have to leave at 9!"
Jeff- "Then 8:45 it is"
Matt- "Let's have a double wedding!"
Abby- "Yeah, ok!"
Awesome right?! Our night had taken a very weird turn down a road that shall never be traveled down again. I cleaned her off before I drove home for the holidays to avoid an incredibly awkward arrival. I can just see it now, friendly ward members saying, "Robyn! I had no idea! Do you need a toaster? I have an extra one. BTDubs, why weren't we invited?", "Robyn, I never thought this day would come! You've always been so awkward! Now that you're married I think it's safe to tell you that none of us thought you had a chance. But, I mean, congratulations!" Or, "geez, that was fast! I thought you were planning on a mission..." Or even, now this is what I imagined my parents saying, "Umm, Robyn? Do you have something you want to tell us?" And in the midst of their interrogations I would try to tell them, "no really, it was such a funny joke! Hear me out, now, it's totally normal."
This is Aunt Clara now. She looks a lot more presentable doesn't she! I was able to explain what happened to my parents without them even freaking out! Instead my mom laughed the whole time while I was telling the story. I think she stopped breathing at one point. My dad stopped breathing too, but he wasn't laughing. He looked more shocked and then relieved.
I felt like it was very appropriate to create a wedding announcement while we were at it though. So there you have it. Abby and I were almost married this morning (we all accidentally slept in) to people we don't really know much about. Granted, after all the plans were made, Jeff and I started asking a butt load of questions to each other so we pretty much know all we need to know about a person to marry them.
Abby created an announcement of her own. I think hers might just be more redneck! And let me tell ya, mine is pretty redneck. Little did anyone know, Matt is the fish she is holding! And he's also the big one on the left. JOKE! Ha, he's the person. I got you for a second though!
