Back from our trip with a New York size smile and...

[meresal]

I''M ENGAGED!!!

Well, we had the most amazing trip. I won''t go into detail about everything, but I''ll post pictures that pretty much document our time.

Last night we went to a mexican restaurant with his sister, brother, and a few of her friends from NY. We had wonderful pomegranate margaritas, yummmm

, and then headed over to a hotel bar for a few drinks. His brother was a few sheets to the wind, and they left to head back to his sisters apt. Chris and I flagged a taxi to Times Square to see the lights one last time. When it gets really late we loved standing in the middle of all the lights when there is no one around. He wrapped his arms around my waist and told me how much he loved me, and asked if I relly knew how much he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. I honestly thought that we were just having our last night kisses and things like that. We''ll he said he had to tie his shoe, and I looked at him and said "That''s mean." I turned around because a taxi and buzzed by honking and when I spun back around, he had the ring out and was looking straight up at me. I was speechless. I said OMG about 5 times and then we hugged and kissed for about 10 minutes. All I could say was how I was so excited that I was going to get to spend the rest of my life The moment was topped off by about 5 drunk frat boys standing under the light pole clapping. It was totally us. No one around but a few random drunk people. I loved the entire thing!!

Just so you know, he carried his backpack around with him everyday just in case the "right time" presented itself. He put the ring box inside a black sock in a hidden pouch just in case I had to get in his bag for something!! What a cutie!! I''m so in love!!

It''s also not insured yet, so I decided to sleep in it, and can I tell you just how much the drains in Times Square were freking me out. I was so worried it was going to fall off.

So, here are some pictures. The quality of the ring pics are horrible but just so you know, C went with the Radiant cut instead of Emerald. I love it!!!

(I''m soooo sorry but the comp won''t let me upload pics right now, and we''re heading to a pre-hurricane happy hour. I''ll try again when I return!!)

Ok... for the almost 10 months I've been here, I have Never had a problem uploading pictures. However, tonight everytime I try, it tells me, "your pic has been identified, and then when I click to attach, it says "unidentified" when I get back to the actual post". I have no idea what the heck is going on, but I would like everyone to know that I am trying my hardest... I'm so sorry...
