'bout freakin' time?




Ryan and I are engaged! He took me on a hike in Dubuque and proposed to me at the top of a bluff overlooking the limestone cliffs, then got down on one knee and proposed! Besides him dropping the ring (luckily it feel AWAY from the giant cliff) and me welling up and blowing a snot rocket, it was perfect. Ryan designed the ring, an asscher cut diamond with a platinum setting. It's perfect, and I love it more every time I look at it. No wedding plans yet, but keep an eye on plane tickets it Iowa!

  2. Congrats, so glad the ring didn't fall down the giant cliff. That would've been a tough climb.
