On May 3, after graduating from NMU in the Upper Peninsula of MI, my boyfriend proposed to me.

so...

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Delayed reaction and post here, but still, I saw how old the last journal was and had to update with this news. The ring has seven little diamonds set into the gold of the ring, which is thick like a band. My boyfriend knew I wanted one like this because the traditional style with the diamonds cradled in metal sticks out and bothers me. I would catch it on pants, hair, everything. But this one is just perfect.

I am especially happy and eager to take his last name. My own has never been right or cool. Abbreviated, both our names will be like this once married: RR and RR. Talk about alliteration! An English Writing major's delight!
