I''m hoping to take some better pics when I''m home for Christmas... Dad''s got a fancy camera!
So as of yesterday I''m finished with finals and with the first semester of law school! Yay!!!
Which means I can post more details about the engagement! So here goes:
Basically, I knew it was going to happen soon, but didn''t think it would be until Christmas or New Year''s. BUT on Saturday, which was my birthday, BF made me breakfast, and over breakfast we/I started to say something about the ring. I knew BF had ordered it earlier that week, but didn''t think it was going to get here for "10 business days" which was what BF said the people at Signed Pieces said.
So BF made a bet with me about whether or not he had it. Being a silly person, I bet that he didn''t, because it was too soon! And then he told me I lost the bet and that he had it! And over the next few hours, periodically he would just say "It''s reeeeeeeally pretty" and "It''s reeeeeeeally sparkly." And then he told me that I needed to leave the house... but I was studying for finals (and I still didn''t think he was going to ask me that day for some reason- I thought he was planning on hiding it in my house somewhere and making me find it later), so I was like, "I can''t really just leave" since all my many study materials were at my house. So he told me to just stay upstairs for awhile, which I did. And then he came and got me and told me that I had to keep my eyes closed. He made me sit at the dining table, and when I opened my eyes there was a black scrapbook in front of me. So I opened it, and on the first page was a picture of a restaurant sign that was a close up of the word "Baby," and on the second page, was a picture of another business sign that said "Will", and the next "You", and the next "Marry" and finally, on the last page was a picture of my BF on one knee with the ring, right next to the dining table. So of course when I look up, my BF looks exactly like the picture. And he''s holding the ring. And of course by this time I''m crying, which I didn''t think I would do since I knew it was coming, but that didn''t make any kind of a difference. So of course I said YES! And he put the ring on my finger, and it was/is SO SPARKLY... but I couldn''t really see it b/c I was crying! I could just see that it was sparkly and beautiful! And then we went to dinner to celebrate... it was an excellent birthday!!!!
