Because I got ENGAGED Thursday morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippppeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Sorry not to have posted sooner but I didn't want to get the dreaded "This Thread Is Worthless Without Pics" emotie and I simply did not have time to take pics until today! It's been a whirlwind with pre existing plans and last minute out of town guests.
Ok so with no further ado - the story -

One thing about the proposal (whenever it was to happen) was that I was adamant about was NO SPOTLIGHT! NO JUMBOTRON! NO PUBLIC PLACE! I'm just not that kind of girl.


So he set out to suprise me and soon realized that it was pretty much impossible to plan anything romantic/significant without me knowing what was up.
He did want to take a walk/hike with me up to Balboa Park last weekend where he said he was going to do it but I have been sick with a cold so I declined. (oops - bad move on my part.)


So Thursday morning when we were up eating breakfast and I'm running around getting ready for work I say:
Me: OK I'm off!
Him: aren't you forgetting something?
Me: OMG yes! My chicken!!!
I run to the fridge to get the leftover dinner from last night.
Him: aren't you forgetting something else?
Me: Uhhhhh...I.. don't... know? What?
Him: gets down on one knee with ring and asks.
Me: WHAT????????!!!!!!!!! (totally shocked and chicken still in hand.)
Him: are you surprised?
Me: UH HELLLLLLO! YES!
Him: you wanna put that chicken down so I can put the ring on your finger?
Me: OH yeah...ok.


Hahaa.. it was super cute, super unexpected and we are both very happy

Thank you!!!!
Not at all. My ring size is 43/4.
Unfortunatley when I tried on the ring sizers I was unsure that a 43/4 would be too tight esp on hot days so I asked Mark Morrell to make it a tad larger but not quite a 5. And whaddaya know...it''s just a tad too big so I''m going to have to part with it at some point to have it tighted up. I just want it to be as safe and secure as possible!!!!
