My best birthday present this year...

…is a fiance.
For months, Erica (my then girlfriend) has been asking me what I want for my birthday. I kept telling her “all I want is you”.
So, this morning (my birthday), I woke up and retrieved a small box from the top of my closet. I turned around and said to my sleeping girl “You know how I’ve been saying that all I want is you for my birthday? I wasn’t joking.” I then presented the ring and asked her to marry me. She of course teared up and said yes… then kissed me and called everyone she knows.
Apparently the news hit her father’s Facebook page before I left for work; he’d been holding on to that news since the middle of last month.
Sadly, the only picture I have of the ring is a crappy one I took with my phone shortly after I bought it:
Click for bigger pic (though the pic is still just as crappy) and more pics coming soon
Since that’s such a crappy picture, here are some details:
- simple setting in white gold
- center diamond and two trapezoidal baguette diamonds
- center diamond is 0.96 carat, F color, I1 clarity, brilliant cut
- wedding ring is a simple setting in white gold with two trapezoidal baguette diamonds and a center rectangular bagette diamond
So yeah. Happy birthday to me!
