Soo... Daniel proposed last Thursday night!!! We are so excited! We're getting married! We're getting married! We're getting married! Yay! I didn't announce it formally to all my students (I think maybe I'll give some sort of big announcement during my classes tomorrow), but I did tell some of them and some of them even knew from their parents (who I am facebook friends with). Haha! There were several funny conversations about me being engaged and I'm sure there will be many more... The whole "engaged" concept is very hard for kids to understand!

| we were so excited!!! |
Let me tell you a story...
Here is how one conversation with a little kindergarten girl went on Friday:
Girl: "Miss Akins, are you really married?"
Me: "No, I am getting married. Probably next summer."
Girl: "Oh. Are you marrying Coach Brown?"
Me: "No, he is married to Mrs. Brown. I am marrying Daniel."
She looks around the gym, very confused. "But he's a little kid!"
I try to hold in my laughter. "Not the kindergarten Daniel. Not the Daniel in our class. This Daniel is older. He's a grown-up."

So... in case there is any confusion: I am NOT marrying a little kid & kindergartener!! Come on... everyone knows he is a big kid. :)
