We're Engaged!!!

After he popped the question



Our dessert



The ring! Most everyone knows this is Meemaw's ring. I couldn't get a great shot of it, so I'll keep trying!









Last night was our 1st Anniversary. A year ago on July 2 we went on our first date. Devlon made reservations at the same place we had our first date..........a fancy seafood restuarant named Newport's. We got there at 7pm (I would later learn that everyone there knew what was going to happen) and had a romantic table for 2 by the artesian well that is in the middle of the restuarant. He ordered a bottle of champagne, but I didn't really catch on. I just thought he was being romantic and wanted to celebrate.

We ordered dinner and then he wanted me to open my present. I guess he was anxious/nervous. I opened a really sweet card and then the present. It was a pretty pewter box with colored stones all over it. I opened that box and inside was the ring wrapped in tissue paper. I opened it and started saying "Oh my god" over and over. He said something to the effect of "I was wondering if you would marry me and be my wife" and of course I said YES! I guess he didn't hear my yes in between the oh my god's, so he said "is that a yes?" and I said YES it's a YES! My hands were shaking and he was shaking. We had a champagne toast and then a wonderful dinner. I kept saying over and over........we're engaged! You are my fiancee'! We are getting married! At dessert time, we ordered cheescake and they wrote on the plate with raspberry sauce "Happy Anniversary and Congratulations". So cute!

We then started calling everyone and went by his parents house. I guess alot of people knew besides me! I thought maybe he might do it, but he hadn't really given me any clues in the last couple of weeks so I really had no idea when he was going to do it. I am SOO happy and excited! Let the planning begin! :)
