Just got engaged October 16th!!! My FI took be to DC as a post-birthday present an we went to the wax museum, spy museum, aquarium, and the new Martin Luther King Memorial!! It was such a fun day. Then at night, he took me to Esperanza Spalding's concert (who is my absolute favorite) as a birthday present and then afterward took me to the foot of the stage, got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him! He put the ring in a Pokemon ball which completely shows how nerdy and quirky we are. My e-ring is about one carat pink sapphire with .30 diamonds surrounding it, much like the look of a sunflower which is my favorite! The ring is exactly what I wanted and I couldn't ask for a better FI!!! I love him more than words can express. He is my best friend, and my lover, and through his unconditional love, he has showed me how to love myself again. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life loving him back.

The picture definitely doesn't do it justice but here it is!

The pokemon ball with the ring inside, just like how he presented it to me!
