totally crazy things that happen

So... The Boy and I are engaged. ♥







Apparently The Boy had been planning on this for a while, unknown to me, and after a lot of effort had found and bought the ring in the last week... and had been planning on waiting til closer to Christmas, but decided last night while we were hanging out and having a good, fun, quiet night after seeing my mom and grandma was the perfect time. And it was.

The ring is at the jeweler's getting resized (it was slightly too big), and I feel weirdly like I miss it already (it's so pretty - the pictures just don't do it justice because the focus got a little off on the camera and it doesn't quite catch the sparkle), and we haven't picked a date yet or anything, but I'm absurdly happy. Like, walking around constantly grinning kind of happy. Like, going to be annoying the hell out of everyone for the next few weeks (...probably longer...) kind of happy, so I apologize in advance, but yay.

"OHMYGOD" was pretty much my reaction, too. Total shocked silence and then lots of hugging and a big "Duh, YES." Thank you!!! ♥♥

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you! XD

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you! XD ♥

It's a yellow (or, I guess the real term is "cognac") diamond - the sparkle doesn't really show up that well in the pictures because the silly camera decided to focus more on the box than on the ring itself. We're going to try again tomorrow with the good camera, when we've got the ring back from the jeweler.
