horace and mae: and two

I'm in Moscow again and it feels so nice to be back! Seeing all of my friends again makes me realize just how much I missed them and the sweet times we had just hanging around this town. Right now, I'm sitting with Becca at Bucer's and it is just so right:)

My apartment is small, but actually bigger than I expected it to be, with high ceilings and a huge window overlooking a square and some good ol' western silos. Whodathunk I would love waking up next to silos?

In other news... Kenny and I are engaged! Yes, I know I mentioned this in the last post, but it was an edit and I figured I needed to do a post about it.

My ring is perfect! (Sorry about the phone picture) I absolutely love it and couldn't have picked a better one myself:)

We were planning on going to New York, but we got a huge snowstorm the night before and our bus trip was canceled. Kenny decided to take me to Baltimore for the day instead, but first he wanted to go to Annapolis for some breakfast. We took our crepes over to St. Johns campus and ate them in a freezing cold sentimental spot, which of course got my head started thinking. As we headed out of Annapolis, he told me he forgot something and we had to go back downtown. We walked out to the spot on the dock where we first said "I love you" and he gave me this beautiful little speech and then asked me to marry him. The dock was all sunny and covered in snow so when he pulled out my ring, it nearly blinded me! It was SO incredibly sparkling and beautiful.

We spent the rest of the day in Baltimore, at the Walters, the Aquarium, Lexington Market and a great restaurant Cinghiale. It was such an amazingly perfect day:)
