Okay, so its soo ironic that I was getting down on the fact that "we''re never ever going to get engaged" yesterday. I posted, took a nap because I had a nagging headache and overall blah feeling. When I woke up, my now *fiance* called because he was off work and he said he was going to shower and come over to my house, which he does most days that I''m off work. I still didn''t feel well so I was lazy and stayed in bed, unshowered. He got to my house and noticed I was still in bed and said, "well, maybe if you take a shower and get ready for dinner, you will feel better!" I wasn''t really buying it and so he said, "well, I have a surprise for you, but you have to shower first." I was mildly suspicious, but tried not to get my hopes up. I took a shower, put on a sundress and came out the the back of my house where the family room is. He handed me a card that had all sorts of wonderful things about love written in it. He told me to hold my finger over the bottom line, so I did. When I got to the end, I lifted up my finger and it said, "Will you marry me?" I looked up from the card and there he was, on one knee with a dozen roses. There were 11 red roses and 1 white rose. Inside the white rose was the ring. He asked me to be his wife and I said, "YES!" We hugged and kissed and went out for a fancy Italian dinner. Afterwards we went to my parents'' where we drank champagne and then to his parents'' house followed by his grandmother''s apartment. It was a wonderful night!

Ring on my finger. Specs yet to come. They forgot to give him the appraisal when he picked up the ring. Its about .5 ct center stone white gold half bezel. I''m not sure on the other details.

But Congrats again!!!

And where are handshots?
