And if I knew how to post pictures ... in a little while ... I could post a picture of ... drum roll ...

My engagement ring.

It's being reset and resized. Marquise diamond in a white gold setting. It's amazing. I was surprised at how lovely it was. When he gave it to me it was in a gold setting, but he knew that I wanted something to match my other jewelry. So he took it to the jeweler and got a brand new setting. I feel so spoiled. But he's adorable. I'm still in shock.

And before you flip your gourd, I know I'm not getting married for a few years maybe three. I know we've only known eachother for about six months. But I adore him. Every day he amazes me. Man, when it's good it's great. When it's great, it's unbelievable.

We sat down the other day and wrote out two pages of goals we want to achieve together and individually. It's the first time I've really felt like a partnership or team with my sig. other, you know? Like we can do anything because we have eachother. I know it's really dorky, but it feels totally powerful. And safe.

Because I know he can achieve so much. And so far, he is. His career is going so well. He's making an amazing amount of contacts. His food is awesome. He keeps getting more gigs through work. He says he's inspired. *smile*

My list had more to do with healing my back and myself. And more quality time with Zoe (who is getting so grown up. I'll have to dedicate a few entries to that lovely baby). Possibly also buying a new car by the end of the year.

Anyway, I have a ton of work to finish. Just wanted to spill it before I burst.

Peace and Paraguay to you all. (hey, it was the first P I saw on my world map)

Much love.

[sort of aside]My poor sweetie. He was going to propose at the Boney James concert last Friday, but knew that I had said I'd be embarrassed if he proposed in front of our friends. So he called it off. He had it all lined up and everything with the band dudes. My dad was there. It was an amazing concert.

I had a total feeling he was going to do it. He looked so sentimental and hiding a major secret. But he didn't know if he should or not. I kind of wish he had done it. I didn't know anyone there so I could have bawled my head off in front of like 3,000 people. Would have been a good story.

So instead he proposed to me sweetly and simply in my sister's living room with my friend Shutterbug hiding in the kitchen. It was heartfelt, but I think he did it just to get it over with. Which is funny because he's the most creative and romantic man I've ever met. No mind. The first time he proposed was totally amazing and spontaneous. It's secret so I can't give the details but would make a wonderful scene in a movie. Anyway, I'm thinking the third time will be the charm. The story to tell our grandkids, ya know?

Regardless, I get the dude in the end. Just like the movies *yipee* And that's all that matters.[aside over]

And my man ... Well let's just say the one thing that is for sure about our wedding is that he's gonna wear a KILT. I love it. Love love love it.

(Special love and hugs to my girl, Shutterbug. I'm so glad you are in my life. I'm so glad I have you as a friend. If you ever need anything, I'm here for you. Bring the cutie pies over this weekend)
