I'm engaged!

I arrived home from Cambodia on Thursday afternoon and jet lag has been kicking my butt since, so I don't have a post full of funny stories or insight from my trip, but I am officially announcing here that I am engaged, and I will post our official Cambodian engagement pictures. Another day soon, I'll tell our engagement story and so much more...
