hi all! oh my goodness i am on CLOUD NINE! my boyfriend quite unexpectedly proposed to me this past friday--i clearly said yes and now we''re engaged

here''s a little rundown of how it happened and some pretty terrible picture taken from my macbook (haha you''re going to have to wait for me to figure out how to use the big bad camera that I just got as a graduation present from los padres :)...
so friday night had been preplanned as a date night for us. im thrilled to say that its not at all out of the ordinary that my wonderful boyfriend will cook me a delicious dinner and buy nice bottles of wine so I really was totally oblivious to the impending Big Question (my only hint in retrospect was that he''d made his bed!

) He''d made THE MOST DELICIOUS LAMB - it''s a Giada recipe and you all MUST cook it for your future husbands (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/herb-crusted-lamb-recipe/index.html), roasted potatoes, and grilled zuccini. My wonderful FF also put little candles all around the back patio. He had also promised me some post-dinner slow dances so we were listening to eric clapton''s live at MSG 2008 cd and dancing the night away on his patio under the stars. He then told me he had a surprise and made me wait outside while he ran inside to get The Surprise(s). He came back out 2 minutes later carrying my favorite champagne, Veuve Clicquot. i was like "what a wonderful surprise! you know me too well--but what on earth are we celebrating?" and he said "being able to spend forever together- will you marry me?"

obviously my answer was yes and I dissolved into the happiest tears. thennnn he was like "well come inside to see your ring!" (it was dark outside at this point so I wouldnt have seen how truly magnificent it is) My FF made me close my eyes while he put it on my finger and then I opened them and nearly fainted because my ring is so stunning and exactly what i''d always wanted! It turns out the ring selection process for him was a combo of his own good tastes and my best friend''s input/obsession with alllll things engagement

im beyond ecstatic with how everything worked out and I cannot wait to marry my best friend and the love of my life! i hope that i wasn''t rambling, have a goodnight ladies !

congratulations on getting engaged!!!! i'm so excited for you!!!

how romantic AND he knows how to cook! what a guy you got there!

i have a mac too so maybe i can help you a bit. i'm hoping you have the latest version of OS X, but here's how i do it. usually when i upload photos, it automatically loads into iPhoto. pick out whichever photo you want to upload by left clicking on it and select copy. paste it into a folder of your choice in Finder, and when you double click on it, it will automatically open in Preview. select Tools on your tool bar, and select Adjust Size. you can adjust the proportions of you photo, and it should tell you the file size when you're changing the width and length pixels. make sure it's under 100KB to be able to upload onto PS.

so when you're ready to post, hit the attach file button and choose your pic. also keep in mind that you're only allowed to upload one pic per post. hopefully that'll work for you!

can't wait to see those pics!
