I''ve been ramping up for exams and finding a summer job, and my mind hasn''t been on the engagement lately, at least not as much as usual.  But I came home yesterday to find a note at the front door asking me to "ring" before I came in.  There were rose petals strewn on the steps leading up to our apartment and my dear boy was there.  He told me to close my eyes.  I smelled delicious chocolate but I still wasn''t sure what was going on.  After I came in and opened my eyes, I saw a dozen roses, a plate of chocolate brownies, and a beautiful wooden ring box.  Completely in shock, I just sort of stood there dazed, while he got down on his knee and gave me the ring.  I didn''t open it at first until finally he said, a little panicked, "don''t you want to see it?"  I did, and it was exactly, precisely, completely what I wanted.

Specs are that it''s an AGS cert, D, .5 carats, VS2, 60.8% depth, 56% table, 34.1% Crown Angle, 40.9 % Pavilion Angle.  I LOVE IT!  And the platinum setting, which he had custom made based on some pictures I sent him, is gorgeous.  And this baby has fire.  We went out for a meal last night at a wonderful restaurant and it was just glittering and sparkling away like mad.

I''m trying to post photos, so let''s see if they work!

The requisite hand shot! I am so glad you guys are here to tell! I am bursting to call people, but must wait until my fiance (EEEEK! I get to call him my fiance!!!!!!!) gets home; we told his brothers yesterday but haven''t told his parents yet! We''ve told one of mine, since he called as we were running out the door to dinner, but I can''t wait to tell the other! My mother is away this weekend so I can''t call her yet, though she knows since he called to ask for her permission!!!! Anyway I am bursting to tell, so thanks for being here!

I totally was! It was funny because we went out with my FH''s brother and sister-in-law; he went out for dinner with them the night they were engaged, but they didn''t tell him and just waited for him to notice the ring; he never did, not being the most observant about such things. So we decided to play the same trick... his brother noticed it first, then after much giggling his sister-in-law did too. I was staring at it all night. I''m so happy!!!

Edit: I just have to ask....did HE make those brownies too???!!!
 
Beautiful ring, and so pretty on your hand. He sounds like a sweetie! Best of luck on your new future together.
 
That''s so true about driving. I just went to pick up our car (after a few celebratory champagnes, neither of us were fit to drive home) and it was so hard to keep my eyes on the road! Here''s another pic - can''t stop posting them. It''s a little blurry for some reason, but I will try to get one later that really grabs the fire.

Ask and yee shall receive! I think I'm getting the hang of this close-up thing; my first few efforts were very blurry, but now that I've turned off the flash, the camera is liking it lots more.

And FireGoddess, I forgot to say, yes he did make the brownies himself. I might have to go eat one right now!
