I said yes, by the way.

I’ve been struggling with how to word this for a week now. I wanted a chance to tell a few family members and have some time, honestly, for everything to sink in. Given that a blog is such an inherently informal medium, though, and this news feels way more important than anything I’ve ever blogged about before, I haven’t been totally sure it’s appropriate to “announce” it here.

Also, I haven’t wanted to insult anyone by not telling them personally. So if you feel insulted that I didn’t tell you this personally, please don’t tell me about it, okay?

So here’s the big news, friends:

Last week, Daniel proposed.

(See headline if you have doubts or questions.)

He even had a ring! He bought it at Jared over a week before he gave it to me, but in the swirl of trying to get the house ready for Thanksgiving he had a somewhat challenging time finding a good moment to pop the question.

From Jared’s Web site, a photo of the ring (it’s the one on the right/bottom):

The ring!

Seeing as how I’m so irritatingly picky about jewelry, the fact that Daniel managed to pick out a ring I adore without asking me to go look with him is really a testament to how far we’ve come as a couple, I think.

We’re planning on a wedding in Hawaii in early May.

Yay us! 🙂
