I had a bad day yesterday. My medication gives me heartburn and it was in full swing. Chris and I were arguing about ridiculous things via text messages. Pathetic. I wanted to get home, eat an egg, and crawl into bed.No such luck.
When I got home, I came in through the kitchen door. I saw candles lit in the kitchen and my first thought was, "Great. What the hell is my house-mate doing with my candles?"
When I got inside, I heard music. A song from a mix CD that Chris gave me on our second date. "I Want You" by Holly Cole. (Cue "aaaaaaaaw" sound.)
In the middle of the circle of candles was a huge chocolate cake with "Marry Me" written in green. It's pictured above in mirror image (because it was taken with a web cam). A ring was sitting in front of the cake. My mother's engagement ring setting set with my birthstone, a garnet -- semi-precious, just like me.
I found Chris upstairs, where I said yes.
Then proceeded to tell him that I had a stomachache; seems we got the married couple but down already.
The cake was delicious. We're engaged. I love him.

Congratulations!!! I hope you were able to eat the cake despite your stomachache. And the ring sounds just loverly. :) I wish I had chocolate cake with my engagement ring... lucky! :)
PS-
So I take it my Facebook profile is now 'official'?
Congrats Becca. I'm in that weird state of getting married without the engagement too.
Now I want a sweet engagement too!
