We’re Engaged!

Last night I came home from work, pulled into the garage and hanging from the ceiling was a huge diamond ring (Ryan installs exterior signs for a living – he probably snagged this from a Helzberg, Bailey Banks in Biddle, or something…).  I thought for sure he was pranking me.  Nope.  I walk in the house and there are dozens of flowers and candles all over the place.  He had music playing and a glass of wine ready for me.  I was speechless.  I could tell he was super nervous and excited!  On the kitchen table was a pile of about 50 ring boxes.  Each box had a small piece of paper that said something he loved about me and our relationship, and each box made me cry (tears of happiness of course!):

Then, I opened up a box with a real sparkly diamond ring!  He took it out of my hands, got down on one knee, I accidentally gave him my right hand, we both laughed.  Then, the popped the question! Obviously I said yes.

We went to celebrate at the Farinas Winery in Grapevine!  Such a wonderfully romantic evening!  Now the planning begins!
