    So, just a few days ago I joined and posted in Waiting about my excitement.  I had found out that my boyfriend had ordered a ring that I waas/am absolutely in love with.  He, of course, had no idea that I knew he had ordered it.  It came in on Friday while I was sort of out of it.  I had gotten all four of my wisdom teeth out that moring.  He told me that it was my Valentine's Day present.  So, I've been trying to patiently wait until the 14th.

    At about 1 on Monday moring, we were still sitting around watching tv and playing with the cats.  He asked me how my mouth was feeling.  That day I was finally able to give him a real kiss again, so I figured he knew it was feeling somewhat better.  I didn't think anything of it, though.  A little later I was just playing with the kitten when he tapped me on the shoulder and opened the little box.  He just stood there for a second like he forgot what he was going to say and then finally, "Would you care to marry me?"

    After he slipped the ring on my finger he started freaking out about the size of the diamonds.  He was so worried that he should order something larger.  I told him all along that it was going to be pretty small, but that's what I wanted.  It's 1/2 carat tdw.  Three black diamonds and then some smaller diamonds on each side.  The band and the diamonds are dainty and I am in love with it.  And of course the wonderful man that gave it to me.

    After I find my usb cable for my phone or camera I'll post a picture of it.

    Now I just need to find the perfect time to tell my parents.  Not because they'll have an issue with it, though.  I just seem to live at work.

    Sorry if this is huge.  New and don't quite have that down I guess.  This is a cruddy phone picture.  It's way prettier in real life.  The black diamonds sparkle like crazy.  They constantly catch my attention.

    Congrats! The ring is lovely!  //  The engagement ring is definitely a great pain-reliever from a wisdom teeth extraction, huh?  Wink

    Congratulations!  I LOLed at the "formal" proposal: Would you care to marry me?
