i said yes!

Most of you know that Steven and I have been "engaged" for about a month now. However, it wasn't until recent events that the "engagement" became an official engagement. You see...a very important part of our engagement story was missing: the ring. Lucky for me, I have a man who gave me a substitute for a couple of weeks. Now, for most girls, this would be quite disappointing. I, however, thoroughly enjoyed wearing around and flaunting my shiny, fake "engagement" ring; after all, it did look real.

Tonight, my feelings toward that ring have changed. Not only was I asked by the most perfect man to spend eternity with him, I was also given the most perfect ring.

Steven "replicated" our first date together. However, this time, everything went perfectly. Plus, the  special twist at the end made it even better.

Kneeling down by the swing-set, my best friend asked me to marry him. And without even a moment's hesitation, I said yes. 

And I couldn't be happier.
