Chris proposed last night!!!

That's right, we're officially official. LOL.... I knew last night was the night (we'd planned it together, actually), so I was bouncing off the walls all day yesterday. My manager let me cut out early (I had told him early in the day I would be totally useless and non-productive all day, so he understood my anxiousness to leave)...

We picked up the ring (it was being set/sized, etc...), and went home to get ready for dinner... and he actually ended up proposing at home, in bed :bbredface: (he apologized later for not waiting till we were in a more romantic spot, but that he just couldn't wait any longer... As far as I'm concerned, it couldn't have been more perfect!)

Then we went to dinner to celebrate... dinner at Bonefish was phenomenal, and our waiter had apparently just recently gotten engaged, so he was a lot of fun to chat with, and was kind enough to snap a few pics for us....

It was a perfect night. Absolutely perfect. I can't stop staring at my ring, and every few minutes, we look at each other and giggle, and go, "We're engaged!!!"

I'm absolutely on cloud 9 today... (on the downside, they actually sized my ring a little too BIG, so I've gotta drop it off this morning to be resized again, and then they'll do the appraisal while they've got it as well... they wanted me to just leave the ring there last night to be re-sized, but I was like, "there's no way in heck I'm leaving here without this ring today!" LOL....

Here's some pics from last night....

It's a 1.17 carat sapphire (the color is freakin' spectacular!) with .8 carats in diamonds (1/4 carat on either side of the center stone, then little diamonds down the sides) set in 18K white gold. It's GORGEOUS... I'm so pleased we went with this ring, and with the sapphire center stone.

Thanks ladies!!! :D I'm still just all a-twitter!!!

:sob: However, I just dropped off my ring at the jeweler's.... I won't get it back till 4:00 this afternoon (they said they'll call me as soon as it's done, so I'm keepin' my fingers crossed it'll be sooner than later!)

Sidenote: Maria -- I see you'll be "Jacksonville, FL... in a few weeks." You're moving HERE? Too cool!! Let me know if you need help with anything, need info, etc... .and good luck with the move!!

Thank you, ladies!!!

*tee hee* Last night we had a party to attend, and it was our first night "as an engaged couple," and the first night I got to show off my ring. :grinhappy: We had a blast... And as silly as it sounds, I know it makes Chris happy to hear people "oooing" and "aaahhing" over the ring.

I don't have a pic of it on my finger...

I actually had no hand (haha) in picking it out. FH designed it with the help of the jeweler. I didn't even know it was coming.

Yeah, he does great with style and design. Sometimes I wonder about him ... ;)

Anyway, your ring is absolutely lovely and yay for being official!
