Another One Bites the Dust

I'm back from the other side of the world with tons of stories and pictures to share. Malaysia was amazing. I had a blast, met tons of people, ate really weird food, and experienced a completely different way of life. As I attempt to organize some sort structure to the next few blogs I create detailing the trip, I'll share the most important happening of the entire week....

....and I apologize if you all feel you deserved a phone call or something instead a blog bit, but I did try to call all of you, and after about a dozen voicemails picked up, I gave up....


Justin and I are engaged!


I know right.

In the words of Jello, "Why would you do such a thing?? Haven't you learned from the rest of us??"

Apparently I have not learned from the rest of you. And I got distracted by the shiny thing.

So now, in addition to school, work, and all the other fun stresses of life, I supposedly have to plan a wedding. Cue Megan Collins from stage right. I have no idea when or where this event will take place, but I do know it'll involve a lot of friends, family, and booze. AKA - open bar, hopefully. You're all very welcome.

Sarcasm aside, I'm ecstatic. I've never been so happy in my life. I can't believe how lucky I am to be marrying the man of my dreams, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with this wonderful guy. I've been completely out of character all week with all the giddyness (not a word, I know) I have been exhibiting. I'm so excited!

Awwww, OK, mushy stuff done, I promise.

As for other events from the trip, here's a brief synopsis, which will be elaborated in great detail later on:

• feeding/riding elephants
• getting sick on the 16 hour flight to Hong Kong (no need for further elaboration)
• booze tower (just like Nacho Night, really)
• New Year's fireworks
• food poisoning (surprise surprise)
• snorkeling
• hooker hotel in Singapore
• Hindu temples
• etc, etc

I'll return with photos and stories in the next several days. For now, I'm putting my sick ass to bed and gearing up for a fun day of work, lecture, and Anatomy lab. It was a fun break while it lasted.

And what's this I hear about Penn State winning the Outback Bowl and the Eagles topping the NFC East division? I need to leave the country more often.
