I'm engaged!!!!!
Here is how it went down..
I caught him sitting on one end of the sofa, and Karen on the other end. I sat in between them. I looked at him, and he was looking back at me, and I casually said, "Where's the ring?" He looked puzzled for a minute, then looked around me at Karen. That look was priceless! All Karen did was grin.
So, he went and got the ring, and he started to open the box, and I got on one knee in front of him, and said, "Larry, will you marry me?"
His face just lit up! He leaned down to me, and hugged me, and said that he would.
Then he put the ring on my finger. It is really beautiful!
So that was the big birthday present I gave him today! (It is his 46th birthday)
He hasn't stop grinning since!
He did ask Karen how I knew about the ring. She told him never to tell her a secret again!!

This stone is a beautiful blue colour- what time of gem is this? What is the proper name for it?

My birthday is April, so diamond is my birth stone. I see you have two smaller diamonds as well - one on each side!

p.s. Amish potato salad? I immediately thought (being on the SKMB, that is!):
How many Amish go into this type of salad? :icon_eek: mwahaha! JK [just kiddin']

But seriously, you should put the recipe in the Recipes thread :chuncky:

It is a blue opal. The picture doesn't show that there are smaller diamonds going down each shank. It has plenty of diamonds on it!

Amish potato salad, and macaroni salad have a sweeter taste to it.
Okay - nice!

I got the old engagement ring from the previous wife (believe it or not), as Andy's wife had died :icon_eek::ghostface:

I know - that is a bit creepy, isn't it? I was actually afraid it was 'cursed' or bad luck. He told me that he would get me a new one on our 10th wedding anniversary and he stuck by his word.

My new one is similar, but just a different setting and I like the stones better.

Enjoy being engaged!

Invite everyone to your wedding (all the SKMBers) - make it a pot luck! :cool2:
:peace:
