Well, the wait is finally over for me because we just got engaged last night!!!

I thought he was going to do it last weekend, since it was a long weekend, but it didn't happen then. I am so estatic right now and still can't believe it finally happened! Okay - here is our story!!!

On Thursday when we were having dinner together, he told me to take off from work today because he wanted to take me somewhere for Sunday and Monday. We ended up driving to Moody Gardens in Galveston, TX (it's about 1 hour south of Houston). He choose that destination because it was one of first places we spent the entire day together. That was over 6 years ago!

He booked a room at the Moody Gardens Hotel and had the our full day passes reserved and everything. We went to all the exhibits there (Rainforest Pyramid, Aquarium Pyramid, Discovery Pyramid) and went to a 3D IMAX showing at 7 p.m. Originally I was so tired, I didn't feel like going to the IMAX showing, but he convinced me to go eventually. When the showing was over, we got back to our room around 8 pm. I opened up our room door and was so shocked! The room was covered in rose petals and chocolates. There was a bottle of my favorite Riesling and a plate of chococate covered strawberries. Apparently, he worked with the girl at the front desk to make this all happen! My favorite part was his speech. All the stuff he said to me was so sweet, and he looked so adorable because he was so nervous! I cried and he teared up. I couldn't have imagined a better proposal. He is so not the romantic type, and I was so touched that he actually had a plan and went all out just to make it more special for me! It was so worth the wait!!!

For those who don't remember, my ring is a 1.23 G VS2 square radiant in Michael B. petite princess pave setting. He took pictures of me with the ring, but it's still in his camera for now. I promise to post the pictures really soon!

Thank you ladies for your kind comments! You guys are the greatest! It was very romantic, and I am so proud of him for being able to put together everything the way it was. I forgot to mention that the room he reserved for us had its own hot tub! It was within the sliding glass doors between our room and the patio. So romantic!

As for the pictures, I will attempt to post a couple of pictures on here from my camera, but these are not that great. My fiance (sounds so weird to say that, still getting used to it) has the better pictures because he knows how to take pictures unlike me. Also, I don't know how to load more than one picture per post. Can anyone tell me how?

Here is a picture of my cutie patootie after the proposal at dinner!

Last one on my hand. BTW, the diamond does not look yellow at all. It's icy white in person! The lighting in my room is a very bright yellow, so that's why you may see color.

Awww, what a sweet proposal. And all the more special since he''s not normally the "romantic type" as you say. I love it when guys get out of their element and go out on a limb for their ladies. And your ring is BREATHTAKING!!! So icy white, and dainty. The stone, though, looks like a boulder on you! Lucky you to have a 2.75 size finger...any sized stone on that teeny hand is going to look humongous!!!

CONGRATS!!!
