If you haven’t guessed it or heard it already, Quinn and I are engaged! That’s right, I finally tied him down. Now I can finally let myself go…..no more exercise or watching what I eat, no more trips to the tanning bed or hair salon. Those of you who made it over for dinner at our place, please know that you are now one of the lucky few who got to enjoy the old Jodi, the domesticated Jodi. Now I can release the “inner me,” who lays on the couch all day watching Law and Order and spills food in her lap and doesn’t even clean it up (oh wait, the Law and Order part of that might already be true…oops). Anyway, you get the point. Either Charles Brian Quinn is a really brave man or a very naive one to fall for that trick.

Just kidding everyone, I will pick up the food that I spill on myself. And FYI, we are very excited about this new and exciting point in our lives and relationship; therefore we would like to enjoy it for awhile. Please don’t expect any wedding plans to be made any time soon.

A picture of the ring may follow in a couple of days, once I find a lense that can handle this kind of stunning beauty and sparkle. This picture was taken in June 2003 at the wedding of my friend, Julie. I believe it was the first wedding that Quinn had ever attended, and hopefully, not the last.
