We're Engaged!


On Sunday January 28 Greg proposed to me and this is our story... Several weeks ago Greg and I were planning to have a ring made and so I was looking around different websites for ideas on different settings. I found a ring with hearts under the diamonds and we both decided that is what we wanted. After a horrible first encounter with one unnamed jewellery store to have our ring made, we decided to look elsewhere for options. Greg ended up going down and buying the ring I had picked out back in October (the ones with the hearts for a setting) while I was at work. I found out shortly thereafter that he had bought the ring... and I was so excited. We went down and had it sized next. For the last couple of weeks we had the ring but I had no idea when Greg was going to pop the question.

Last Saturday Greg took me out to dinner after a long day at work to the restaurant we went to on our very first date nearly five years ago. I thought for sure that he was going to ask me that night so I spent time curling my hair and getting ready for the big night. After dinner nothing had happened so we left and he took us for a drive along the lake. I was sitting there thinking "am I supposed to act like I don't know that he is going to propose?" After a nice drive he just drove us home, and I was like ‘what the heck?’ because I thought that we wouldn't get another opportunity to be alone until next weekend by that point.

The next day Greg and I went on our walk along the Mission Park Greenway which we do from time to time. After walking for a bit we found a bench and sat down. Before I knew it Greg was down on one knee and saying he wanted to be with me for the rest of his life and asked me to marry him. Of course I said YES!!

I am so happy to be engaged to Greg, we have been looking forward to doing this for a long time and the right ring and moment finally came along. I am so happy to know that Greg and I will be together for a lifetime! I look forward to our life together very much.

Here are some pictures of the ring ... the best my camera would manage.
