Engaged!


If anything were truly blog-worthy, it would be the fact that I am now engaged!

How did it happen? Well, on Saturday afternoon (October 14th) I asked Jason what he wanted to do that night. He said that since we wouldn't be able to go out on our anniversary (he had Asia that night), he would take me out that night instead. He mentioned that he wanted to go to SanChez, tapas restaurant downtown. That should have raised my radar since he doesn't usually have a particular place in mind when we go out. Anyways, we drove downtown and parked at the fish ladder right on the Grand River. We meandered our way to SanChez where we had a very nice dinner.

After dinner we walked back up the river and paused for a moment on the pedestrian bridge by the DeVos performance hall. The view of the downtown there is great so we stopped to admire it. Then he gave me a big bear hug (it was a cold night) and said "so its been two years" (or something like that). Then he said that he had gone shopping and at that point I knew what was going on. He pulled a little box out of his coat pocket and opened it. I could see that it was a ring but it was a little too dark to tell what it looked like. Then he dropped to one knee and asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes and then pulled off my gloves so that he could put the ring on, a perfect fit :)
