Hand shots on Monday...I didn't have a camera.

(or a manicure!)

After work, we sometimes go down to this field where he flies a remote control plane that he has...I go wth him just to help out and sit in the sun, relax, moral support, etc. Well, yesterday, he was adament that we go (it was 4 years to the day that we finally "acknowledged" our feelings for each other...we had worked together for a year and a half before that). It looked kind of rainy, but he really wanted to go. I didn't think anything of it at all. So he flew the plane once, and landed it down in the field, in a really nice spot. He apologized that it was so far down there and said the battery ran out. So we walked down there, and I sat down while he was fooling around in his bag. He looked at me and said, "you sat down!?" I said, "yeah, it's just a little damp, and i won't get grass stains...I'm wearing black pants" He said, "but you sat down...". I kind of looked at him funny and he said "will you stand up?" I still didn't understand why, but I did Then he didn't get up and stayed down on his knee...THEN it hit me what he was doing. He pulled out the ring, did his speech, which was wonderful, and I just stood there shocked and speechless. I cry at the drop of a hat usually, but I couldn't. I was so shocked. He was tearing up, but I was just shaking...then he asked me for an answer. I of course said yes, just as it started sprinkling...
We hugged, kissed, I continued to shake

...we walked back to the car. Then we went to a restaurant for a drink because we both needed one. We called my mom, she was happy. Once we told her, we couldn't stop, and our cell phones got quite the workout. Turned out my two best friends and their husband and boyfriend and his sister(who was in from out of town) were all having dinner so they screamed and told us to come over. So we did...it was a great evening...completely perfect.

Funny coincidence...my best friend who has been living with her boyfriend of 5 years...he just got back from a trip to Memphis to visit his mom (and his sister went with him). Turns out while he was there, he got them to help him get her a ring! And he went last night to talk to her dad!!!! She doesn't know the whole story, but what timing! Very coincidental...after almost 19 years of being friends, this happens to us like this. He's asking her next week on Easter (he's doing an Easter egg hunt with her family).

Can''t wait for handshots!!!!!
 
Aww...see now I''m wanting to cry every time I think about it or talk about it! And it''s killing me. No one here at work "knows" about us, and we''re going to tell everyone Monday, so i''m not wearing the ring today...it''s killing me.

Speaking of the ring...

.75 ct. Asscher Cut
Color--E
510x5.09x3.47
Clarity--VS1
Depth--68.2%
Table--59%
Girdle--STK
Polish--Excellent
symmetry--Very good

X-prong platinum setting in a satin finish


It''s absolutely beautiful...it''s so white, so clear, so gorgeous. He did a wonderful job.
 
Congrats! and I can''t wait to hear the story re: you guys telling your office!
 
That''s going to be good...This is the rough draft he''s worked up...

"We suspect that this may put to rest some speculation, guesswork, and maybe even an under-the-table betting pool or two. Or perhaps everyone saw this coming and the news will be completely anti-climatic. In any event, we''ve got some really good news we wanted to share with you.
I asked Angie to marry me, and I''m so lucky...she said yes."


Then we''re just going to sit back and watch the jaws drop.
 
OMG!! Congrats!! This is wonderful!! It''s such a sweet proposal story, and I love what he''s going to send to your co-workers...

I can''t wait to see the ring, it sounds gorgeous!! I''m not sure if you said you helped him pick it out or not... Refresh my memory?

Congrats again, and best wishes!

I really wish that I could be around to see how your co-workers react.

Awww, you guys are making me cry. I came back from lunch, and saw all of these responses and it just about killed me! You are all so sweet, and I really thank you for all of the support. I hope I can be for you guys too...I''m not leaving the LIW! I''m hanging around to see how the rest of the stories play out!

Monday is going to be nerve wracking...telling everyone is going to be scary! But the longer we put it off the harder it will be...we''ve gotten pretty good at hiding this, so it would be easy to fall into that rhythm, and he doesn''t want me taking my ring off every time I come in here. And like I said, everyone pretty much already knows, they just don''t KNOW. I''ll post as soon as it''s done...
 
Yay Angela! An asscher cut! I cannot WAIT to see pics! CONGRATS!
