Ashley and Rob, Part II

Ashley and Rob have set a date! Its Saturday, October 7th of next year. Nothing else to report...I'm still working on my Ph.D. qualifying papers, teaching, taking classes and generally working on being fabulous. I'll update again when I have achieved full fab-ness.

Update--November

Well, this has been quite an eventful month so far! I've received funding from the American Institute of Indian Studies to do my dissertation research in Darjeeling starting next October. But I'm waiting to go until my sister and Rob get married! This picture was taken (by me) just after Rob proposed this past weekend in Central Park. He called me a few weeks ago and asked me to help. So as we were wandering around New York on Saturday--which had the most perfect weather in a November that I can remember--Rob called my phone. I pretended it was a friend of mine that I hadn't seen in a few years, and had to run to meet her for coffee. I just walked out of sight, camera hidden in my purse, and waited until I saw Rob get down on one knee. Then--pictures! The one above is when Ashley realized that I was in on the whole thing.

I don't think I could be happier or prouder of those two!
