(Apologies to those who have had to read about this three or four times...I had to cover all my internet bases. Heh.)

On Friday night, Nick surprised me by getting down on one knee and asking me to marry him. Right before I had to go to work, too! I said yes, we smooched, the dog went berserk (he doesn't much appreciate it when we kiss and hug) and we became Officially Engaged.

The date is set for 12/06/2008! We'll be having a party around that time for all of our friends to come and celebrate our wedding. (We're trying to keep the ceremony and reception pretty small.) When it gets closer to the time, we'll let you know the details.

So yeah, engaged!

Oh, here's a picture of my ring:


It's a vintage ring, 1960s. Star sapphire with tiny diamonds on the petals.
