I said “Are you kidding me?”
Remember when I said we were done with big, grown-up purchases for awhile?
Well clearly Eric doesn’t read the blog, because tonight he asked me to marry him.
I said “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!” when I turned around and saw him down on one knee with the ring out. And then I said, “YES OF COURSE.”
And, yes, I’m totally that girl who posts pictures of the ring. Sorry, but I can’t stop staring at it. I love it so much 
I’m giddy, excited, shocked, hyper, jumping-up-and-down all at once right now. I kind of can’t believe it!
Full story coming soon. As soon as I can actually gather myself together enough to tell it.
Love you all. XO
