663- The number of days it’s been since John and I started dating

1 – The number of Carats of the perfect solitaire engagement ring John gave me

545 – The number of days until we take the vow to spend the rest of our lives together

Last night John decided that we should go to dinner at Salty’s ( which is my favorite) so he went ahead and made reservations. We got ready and had some time to kill so we went up early so we could go for a walk down Alki.  It was dark but you could see the reflection of the lights from the city and it was beautiful.  I turned around to see where John was and when I looked he was down on one knee.  He asked me if I could do him a favor and spend the rest of my life with him. Well, duh, I said yes. He then gave me my amazingly beautiful diamond solitaire and there was nothing I could say. I was speechless and well for me not having anything to say is a big deal. We then went in and had our dinner in shock. It was really a good surprise.

This morning came picked a date July 17th, 2010. We have about a year and a half to get things ready. I’m sure we’ll keep you updated on the details as they come through  :)
