We laid a blanket on Jonathan's frosty front lawn, with the telescope to view this astronomical event. He set up a couple alignments to view a few of the moon's features, having me peek each time. The final peek I took revealed this:
Speechless!... even though I knew Jonathan would ask me sometime soon, I'd been thinking about how I would react, but it all sort of went awry and I didn't know how to react! ha. I think I said, "Ooo, a ring!" He handed it to me and I tried to see it's detail in the moonlit darkness. The ring belonged to his maternal grandmother, given to her in 1946, which he had sized and restored just for me. I absolutely love it. Quaint and small just like I'd hoped for. Yes, I said yes! We're officially engaged!
Unbeknown to you all, planning for a wedding has already begun (since we knew we'd have a short engagement and wanted to secure the locations we wanted right away).
The day of wedding will be Saturday May 16, 2009.
nice re-creation!
