Update :)

I am teaching first grade and I am engaged.
Love,
Callie

Just kidding. My mom told me that was all I had to write, but I will write more. I am teaching first grade in Harlem. My kids are great but a little difficult to manage. That is what I have been working on during my first week of school. Today they started off great. They were on task, working independently and I was STUNNED. I was thinking to myself, "Holy Crap, what did I do right?"

My second bit of news is that Ryan and I are engaged. It has been 5.5 years of boyfriend/girlfriend and now he's my fiance. Ooh la la. Ryan and I went to watch the MSU football game at an MSU themed bar. That bar is on the west side. When we were walking back we walked through Central Park. We got to a bench and I started talking. Ryan got up from the bench and onto a knee. I am not sure what he said, but I said yes. We are very excited and we look forward to our July 12 wedding.

Thank you for all your congratulatory emails, letters and calls.

Love you,

Callie
