So, last night Tom officially proposed.  I think he's more excited than I am which is incredibly sweet and adorable.

Ring selfie below LOL  Was not easy getting a shot on one's own finger. Lighting at home is terrible, did my best. Ignore bad manicure - gel damage still growing out :(

Congratulations!!  It's beautiful!! I love that he's so excited about it. The man is definitely a keeper. Most men act like they are being sent to the chair. 


I hope that you have many more happy, healthy years together.

Congratulations !!  The ring is gorgeous. 


Can I ask you how Tom proposed.?  Did he get down on one knee?  Or was it some sort of surprise? 

(I just love those real life proposal stories...even the sweet simple ones.)

Thank you!

I knew. He's actually been proposing on and off without a ring for years lol.  I think we both knew the day we met it was an important and long lasting relationship. He wasn't in the position to give me a ring until recently so right away he started talking about looking.  Unfortunately, he had very little time to do it on his own as he's a full time student (at 57 years old!).  So, he put me in charge.  But, once it was purchased (2 weeks ago) he picked it up and said he wanted to wait for the perfect moment to ask.  Then he posted it all over social media before even asking me!  

Last night, felt right to him I guess. Plus some of his very good friends said he was ridiculous for posting photos of the ring and making me wait on it.   We were just hanging out watching tv in bed (no funny business :p) and chit chatting about stuff. Both of us actually weren't even feeling very well.  One thing led to another and he got up and went to get the box.  Came back, and yes, got on his knees in the bed (not easy!) and slipped the ring onto my finger very official like.  

It was very sweet and low key which is how we are.  I really would have been unhappy having a big fuss made over it.

   That is awesome, and very sweet.  (He might have been 'over the moon', excited, and a little nervous, and that is why he posted it on social media. He could not contain his excitement.) 


It does not matter what age you guys are, it's still like 'young love' and so exciting and wild. 

It's nice that it is official.  (my last question would be "where did you meet each other"...but you don't have to answer that @sivyaleah. I am a bit too nosy, and it is a personal question.)

The proposal story will have me believing that 'in real life' ...is by far better than the movies...because it actually still happens...in so many different ways.
