"Today is the day." Well, so much for suprises. At that point I knew what he was up to. After giving my goodbye kisses to my family, we headed off to...yes, you guessed it right. Hearts and Arrows. There is our quaint jewelry store. Mike and I knew what we're looking for since we've been at the store before. And we've seen what we wanted. Question was, "is it still available"?

The friendly store clerks were at our beck and call. Good thing we were the only customers. Friendly as they were, the ladies have good memories. In a jiffy, we saw the ring - our ring. This time, it seemed prettier. It's beauty is something that just grows on you. But beauty has a price to it. Quite pricey, in fact. I could have easily settled for something less but Mike was quicker.He did not want to put the ring on my finger without having one of the assistants to take a snapshot (that's just Mike for you, always a boyscout).

So there I was on election day, with Mike making me wear his ring. I realized it doesn't always take a dramatic proposal to make it a sweet and memorable one just as long two people are sure in their hearts and their minds that they are "IT".
