The Ring

I've been holding out on a surprise for a few weeks now.

I finally have pictures to post of my engagement ring, so I can make this announcement: Austin & I are getting married!


Austin proposed to me on June 21st, a Monday night.  I had just gotten home from the gym and started making dinner when he called to see where I was.  He was at the gym trying to find me, so I told him I was at home.  A few minutes later, he walked in the door while I was eating dinner.  He asked me to come here for a second, so I got up and gave him a hug.  He asked me how my day went.  Standing there in the dining room, his eyes got a mysterious glint in them and I had no idea what was about to happen.  Suddenly, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!  :)

Here's my ring, a family heirloom that my grandmother proudly wore.





Wedding planning has begun, and let me tell you - it's not easy!
