Rod and I got engaged on Saturday. We got up fairly early Saturday and he made breakfast before we headed over to the observation deck of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in downtown Indy. If you''ve never been and you''re in the area I''d highly recommend it. You can see how tiny our downtown is and see quite far! I''d recommend going on a chilly day as it gets quite warm up there with the sun streaming in. We rode to the top and just kept walking around the very narrow observation deck. As the visitors came in waves we''d get the deck to ourselves for a few moments and then it would rapidly fill up.
Around 1:45 we were the only ones up there after a very rowdy group of high school boys left and he put his arm around me and said some of the most heartfelt things I''ve ever heard and then shows me the ring! I start freaking out saying yes yes yes and we hug and kiss, he then goes you know you can wear the ring! haha! It''s so much more beautiful than I expected. It''s so sparkly and bright in the sun and overhead lighting. After we came down from the monument we headed for lunch at Palomino and then we came home and watched the Butler/UMD game. We called our parents after that, my parents were more excited about the Butler game I think than the engagement! haha!
Thank you to everyone on here for the stories and words of encouragement to let me know I''m not alone!
