{engaged}

We got engaged last week Thursday!  Very exciting and very unexpected...

I must be honest - Im not very romantic at all, but Bevan is.  So he has been scheming about how he wanted to propose for a while now apparently.  He was either going to do it on the 1st of December or on the 20th Dec on my birthday but decided that the latter might be a bit obvious.

So the 1st it was.  



I thought we were painting the main bedroom that night - he had other plans.  Told me to sit in a chair in front of our new bookshelf and he'd take a picture of me.  So I sat down and started blabbing on about how I wanted to put a table in front of one of the windows.  When I turned around to face him, he was on one knee with a silver box in his hand!  I cant quite remember what he said, but I do remember giggling from surprise and nervousness as he opened the box.  I do however remember quite vividly wrapping my arms around his neck and hugging him for dear life.

I've been with this boy for over 5 years - I love him to bits.  Of course the answer was yes!

And so now we're engaged!  Wedding date is 14th July.  Excited is an understatement - cannot wait to get started on this wedding.

The ring was my gran's which he simply had sized and polished because he knew I loved it so much.  I love the ruby, the little diamonds around it, the oval setting - all of it.  It's just perfect I reckon and given that it's a family heirloom makes it even more special.  It's something we'll be passing down to our oldest kid in the hopes of making this our own little family tradition.
