No really. Fix her bow...

Well, despite the random order of things, Kyle and I are officially engaged! Kyle took us downtown to dinner and we watched the Parade of Lights from the window. Then he gave me a card from Haven that says "I love you mommy. Merry Christmas...Fix my bow" and I did.

Then we watched the parade some more and Kyle said, "No really. Fix her bow." Then I realized the ring was in her hair! Oblivious. We finished up and took a carriage ride down to Civic Center Park which was freezing but nice. It's so crazy looking at the ring. I keep thinking that this will be on my hand for (hopefully) the rest of my life.

It's just beautiful. It's an antique art deco ring from the 20s with a platinum illusion setting and quarter carat green diamond. I guess Kyle actually paid it off in May but was looking for the perfect time. He was actually going to do it in a hot air balloon but then the breaks on his went out completely and he had to drop $850 on them. So the balloon ride because a bit to expensive. I don't mind though because I've always wanted to be proposed to in a sleigh/carriage.

It was just the perfect evening. I love that Haven helped to pop the question. If it hadn't been for her, who knows where we would be. Though I'd love to be a hopeless romantic and say that we would still find one another...
