The Engagement
This past weekend we went to Leavenworth, it's a cute little German alpine village 2 hours from Seattle. They have really beautiful Christmas lights when it gets dark and quaint little shops you can walk around and explore. After it got dark (and into the single digit temperatures!) Matt and I were walking back to the car and we stopped to sit on a bench to listen to the Christmas carolers. I saw he didn't have his gloves on and asked him why and aren't his hands cold? He said something like, those are some good questions, now I have a question for you.. and he got down on one knee and proposed. :)
The ring is so beautiful and special. Earlier this year, he went to his dad (who is a financial adviser) on how he should manage his money to buy me a ring.. his dad said, "hold that thought" and took him down to the family's safe deposit box where he had been keeping Matt's grandmother's engagement ring (she had passed away). Matt had the diamond reset to give to me. I <3 it :)
