YEyyy! I hardly get on anymore and noticed I was bumped up a spot, and had to see who got engaged! Congratulations girl! So happy for you!

 

[gwendolyn]

Thanks again for all your wonderful comments, everybody! Just wanted to pop in to say that we had a safe trip and are happily relaxing at my parents'' house (took J to the grocery store to get him to taste some American food he hasn''t tried before, like Peanut Butter M&Ms, salsa con queso (w/tortilla chips) and Peeps!

Oh yeah, and we told my parents and one of my brothers last night when James met us at the airport, and my mom squealed a lot and hugged him about half a dozen times. And today, my dad told James to stop asking permission to eat things in the house because he was now family. (That''s a big thing, coming from my dad!!) YAY!!

Mucho love to you all!!!!

Hope you all are having a great week too!!

 

[chocolatefudge]

Your ring is beautiful. Your story made me smile even bigger than all of your beautiful avatar pictures do!

(If I knew how to add other types of emoties I''d have one of several people dancing around gleefully below.)

Congratulations Gwen! I''m mostly a lurker, but I love reading your posts and have been following your story (I swear I''m not a stalker! lol). I''m so happy for you and your FI! I just love how he cooked you a fabulous dinner. That is so incredibly sweet! And how special that he used your grandmother''s ring. Congratulations!!!
