The Proposal!

Her She is!

Can you see the heart? It is one of my many favorite things about this ring. I also love the thickness of the gold, and the thick prongs, I will never lose my diamond.
Okay so it was not actually a proposal, but it was close. 18 months ago I lost my wedding ring, for those of you who have one, you can imagine how sad it was to lose it. IT wasn't the monetary issue for me, it was the sentimental aspect of it, and the fact that I absolutely loved, loved, loved my ring. We had had it made just for me. It was so sad, and my dear husband has not let me forget that I lost it and it must not have meant much to me if I lost it so easily. As you can imagine this really ticked me off, because it was actually the opposite and it made me sick that it was gone.
Now that you know what happened 18 months ago we can move on. As many of you know from reading my blog last week it was a rough week. It also happened to be Ethan & Gauge's birthdays. We celebrated with my family in Bear Lake over Labor Day weekend and Gauge's was on Sunday of that weekend so we thought that was good enough. Months ago we had asked my mom to watch our kiddos and I had this great and I mean great date planned for Ethan's birthday. Well after everything the last couple weeks we decided to have Danielle & Alan watch them and go out to Rodizio's on Friday instead. Then after all the emotions all I wanted to do was curl up in my pj's and watch a movie. Ethan would not drop going out to dinner, and he was driving me nuts about it. I told him if he got a babysitter we could go not thinking that anyone was going to be available with an hour notice. Well our sweet niece Loni was available and Ethan went and picked her up and took me to my favorite restaurant Macaroni Grill, after that he drove to Ensign Peak and I was wearing heals and thought he is crazy if he thinks I am hiking in these. I wasn't going to say anything, because it was really sweet that he planned this out of the ordinary date for me, for his birthday. So he turned on the song "Just the Way You Are", by Bruno Mars and asked me to dance (which is something he used to ask me when we were dating). Then at a predetermined part he pulled out MY RING!! Which he had remade for me by the same jeweler that we thought had gone out of business. I actually thought that he had found my ring when I first saw it, because it was the same.
It was so sweet and thoughtful and the most thoughful part was the timing of everything. Thank you Ethan you are the best at everything you do and are, and I love you just the way you are too! XOXOXOOOOOOOOOOX Thanks for being mine and I look forward to the rest of eternity with you. Happy Birthday to ME! I told Ethan that I really don't mind if for his birthday every year he gets to buy me a gift. Not too bad eh!
