bling blinggin'

Well, Brigetta and Ben aren't the only ones engaged as it seems. Mike finally popped the question and you were all right that I will be the next to wed!
He took me out to dinner after we had crappy days at work, to Il Bistro, a VERY romantic restraunt. It was a Tuesday night and there was literally no one else in the place, so it made the evening very intimate. We ordered a bottle of wine and I wanted to make a toast, but Mike said he wanted to give me a little present before we did, and he pulled out a little wrapped box, and I said, "it's a BIG little present?!" and got down on one knee (he was smashed in the corner between the table and the wall, it was so cute) and asked me. I was totally blown away because I never thought he would do it like this. I opened it and put it on and he's like, "so...is that a yes?" I guess I was distracted by the sparkly thing...of course I said yes, and we had a wonderful 2 hour dinner together.
I always thought I would cry, but I was so happy that I just couldn't stop smiling. I'm still smiling! The ring is so beautiful! It's the diamond from his mom's engagement ring (she broke her finger falling off a horse and they had to cut it off and basically destroy it, so it's just been in a safety deposit box) and Mike had the ring custom made with some new little diamonds too. The picture does not do it justice.
I would love a phone call from you all when you get a chance. I would love to share more with you.
Here's to another one biting the dust!
Love
Lex
