Hi!
Merry Christmas...slightly belated...
I have been avoiding blogging of late, trying my very best to be secretive.
The reason?
Well...I made a big step in my life over Christmas, a big step indeed. I have been working for some time with the logistics of what I was trying to do, and getting permissions and all the fiddly preparations for it. So much so that I felt if I blogged about what I was doing, I would let the secret out and wind up having a lame-sauce Christmas.
So what was the big secret??
I asked R to marry me.
I did.
I did.
The surprise and shock on her face, and her response made the secrecy worth it.
She said yes...otherwise I wouldn't be in such a fantastic mood.
Here's how it all shook out.
We had been talking for quite a while about getting married, and I brought up the topic about rings...(being that I was already thinking about asking her to make this step with me) I made her sit down with me and we went through ring after ring on various websites online until we found this one ring (not THE one ring...that would be...fail...besides...it melted.)
Anyway, we landed on one site www.titaniumera.com and the 1st ring that we saw, made R gasp. (win!)
We looked a little more and found nothing that appealed to her more than the ring that we found at the Titanium website.
So...I ordered it. Without her knowledge of course.
I asked my parents permission on it "Yes, oh, God yes! That would be wonderful!"...to quote my Mom.
I asked her parents..."Awww we would LOVE to have you as part of our family" lots of happy tears on her Mom's part.
The last thing was to ask R.
I took the ring with me to B.C.....to my parent's house. I wrapped the ring box, the box the ring box came in, and ribbon and shiny stuff all over....but no ring inside.
I made her unwrap it all and when she found the empty ring box, I waited a second and said "Well...you don't get the ring unless you say 'yes!'....R, would you marry me?"
Tears, and beaming smiles and "Yes!"
My mom cried, my dad smiled, I was elated and R was ecstatic.
And eventually, things calmed down...but there is this sense of relief and relaxation.
I am so happy right now.

ps. I can still get her to tear a little when I whisper the word fiancee...
