    Okay, so I could be super duper hyper.  And if I am and you don't see my "OMG I'M ENGAGED" post in the next month, let's pretend this post never happened.  And I'll continue to patiently wait. 

    BUUUUT, here is the back story and what I'm deeming to be signs.

    So on New Year's Eve, I mentioned to my girlfriends how I knew he was the one, and that he kind of knew what style of rings I like.  One in particular, we'll call her CC, asks me to show it to her.  So I do, but it's a tension ring and you kind of have to be fitted for them since it's incredibly hard to resize them.  About ten minutes later she breaks out a string and marks it to measure my finger.  I thought she was just being a girl and thought nothing more of it. 

    Fast forward to the 5th.  My BF is super antsy about filing his taxes.  He HAD to get it done that weekend.  I couldn't understand why.

    Now fast forward to Sunday night.  I'm not sure why it was said, but my BF made it a point that he would NOT propose on Valentine's Day.  To which I was grateful for because I think it's a tad cheesy (no offence to any v-day proposals...just not my style).  Anyways, the following day CC sends out a mass e-mail to all of the climbers (Oh yea, btw, my BF and I are avid rock climbers) asking if everyone wants to camp out and climb the weekend after Valentine's Day.  It seemed strange to me at the time that she would chosoe that weekend...after all it's going to be gorgeous here the next couple of weeks.  Anywyas, I e-mailed back that I was totally in. 

    A couple hours later and EVERYONE had replied with a yes.  That never happens.  And we're heading up to where my BF and I first met. 

    So the plot thickens....BF pops up on G-chat totally excited that he gets his tax refund on Friday.  Then sends me the Wikipedia link to "Mastermind" and writes, "Sound like anyone you know?"  Completely oblivious, I respond with, "Duh, my Survivor crush Russell Hantz!"  Don't judge me!  I'm a huge Survivor geek.  He doesn't say anything....and I'm confused so I write, "But you?  A mastermind?  And what, dear sir, are you scheming?"  He responds, "If you only knew." 

    AHHHHH!  Everything clicked all of a sudden.  The place we're going climbing is where we first met a year ago!!!  So to throw him off (yes, I'm a fan of playing dumb) I write back, "You do realize I've named my father as my next of kin.  And my insurance policy isn't all that grand."  Subject is quickly changed.  And he thinks he's still got me under the radar....Who's the mastermind now?!  Muwahahahaha.

    So if I'm totally off, again, we pretend this post never happened...what do you think?  Did anyone else have clues that led to their engagement?  Or clues they thought were going to lead to a ring and didn't?

    I definitely connected the dots a few days before we got engaged. We were coming up on our anniversary, and I'd seen the jeweler's credit card in his wallet.... the biggest giveaway was when his jacket pocket zipper got jammed!!! I knew then it was 100% happening!!! :)
