OMG!!! He proposed on Monday!!!!! He planned this trip out to Phoenix a while ago. Stupid me, I thought it was just to get out of the cold weather, catch a Cubs game and celebrate Spring Break (he''s in a masters program). On Easter weekend, my parents start calling us and were acting all goofy. I mention this to J in passing as we''re waiting around in the airport. BTW, getting to Phoenix was a DISASTER! I HATE US AIR!
(my apologies to any US Air people that I might''ve offended, but we had a terrible time on Sunday)
Our first day in Phoenix, he planned to hike up a mountain. Little did I know this was how he was going to propose to me! We first get to the mountain and he hands me a little note about how we first met. And as we''re going up the trail, more notes about our first date, and things about our relationship. Well of course I thought something was up, desperately hoping for a proposal, but not wanting to get my hopes up. We get to the top of the mountain and we''re just sitting around looking at the scenery etc. So I chalk it all up to just a romantic hike. Then he hands me the last note card, a red letter, and it asks me to stand up, close my eyes and hold out my hand. I opened them, and he was kneeling in front of me, holding the ring.
I didn''t cry, but I was so happy, I did shed a few tears, but laughed and smiled and it was just so unexpected. I''m figuring out how to post some pictures.
Oh yeah, since EVERYONE was in the dark including my twin sister, all my friends and my parents (except my dad), J didn''t know what size to get. Well, the ring didn''t fit. It was too small. But, since he didn''t know what to get, the B&M jeweler from his setting shopping suggested a plain solitaire setting that could easily be resized if needed. So we went to get it resized so I could wear it on the trip and now we get to go setting shopping together!

VS2(?) Not sure about that. But should get the specs and certs soon.
