It's official~I'm engaged!!!
And to properly show the world that I'm off the market, I have a shiny new sparkler on my left ring finger!!! It's an asscher (square emerald) stone set in a simple rose gold band, and I absolutely love it. I find myself checking it out at all sorts of random times, and I'm sure people are beginning to notice, but I don't care!
He proposed on Friday, January 28, at one of our favorite restaurants, Stella's in downtown Fargo. We arrived 15 minutes before it closed due to attending his work Christmas party and staying a little longer there than we intended. The first server who greeted us was hesitant to let us in, saying "well, it is pretty late..." but then another came up behind her and said, "of course we can still serve you, come on in!!!" We sat in the same booth as our first time together at the restaurant when we were celebrating our 6 month anniversary. We had a nice dinner, and then, when we were just about done with dessert, he got a funny look on his face and kept putting his hand up on the table. Finally he said, "before we go, there's something I want to ask you." Of course in my head I'm going "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!" Then he said something along the lines of "I love you very much and I would really like you to be my wife," before he got down on one knee, openned the ring box, and asked, "will you marry me?" I said, "of course I will!!!!!" and snatched the ring right out of the box and jammed it on my finger, where it fit perfectly. The next moments were a blur of me saying "oh my gosh" and other variations, and shaking, and calling my family to let them know.
The servers came up and said congratulations, and the manager came over to ask whether he could take our picture. We didn't have a camera so he went to his car and grabbed one. I was worried that I was going to look pretty dorky between my shaking uncontrollably and my perma-grin, but we got the pictures back the other day and they aren't too bad.
It was a perfect night. I'm a lucky girl. :)
