I Have an Announcement to Make! <3

As Ryan and I were driving toward the movie theater in Greeneville to see National Treasure 2 with his family on Christmas day, Ryan took a strange detour toward downtown. I assumed he was just being his random self and thought nothing of it...until he turned into the loop in front of Greeneville High School.

After opening my door for me, he led me by the hand up the stairs to stand in front of the main school doors. (By this point I knew what was happening so I was all giggly and nervous.) He proceeded to tell me that I was standing in the very spot he'd seen me standing in from where he had been just inside the school the first time he ever laid eyes on me back in the fall of 2004. The day he thought my younger brother was hitting on me, but decided to come introduce himself anyway. The day he found out that my brother was not my boyfriend, but was in fact my brother, and decided to pursue me. The day he practically fell in love with me at first sight. The day that spawned years of flirtation and eventually our relationship two years later. The day everything between us began, though we had no idea at the time we'd end up back on those front steps for the beginning of something else entirely between us. Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.

...

Of course I said yes! ^___________^

So know I'm showing off my luverly ring~

Here is a picture from the jeweler because the stone is hard to see in my own photo.

And we've already set a date: Saturday, December 27, 2008. So mark your calendars! : D
