otherwise engaged

yes, those sasquatch-quality images were of this beautiful ring with which anthony proposed to me last friday night! they could not do it justice, but they were the only ones i could glean from the small light that was available.

we were at new world brewery, relaxing, just the two of us, over some chimay and framboise, awaiting the musical stylings of the timeout drawer, when he asked the question; he was so sweet and sincere! (not that he never is) - and, because he makes me insanely happy and because i love him so - i delightedly said yes.

i am quite at a loss at what to write without sounding like the world's largest ball of cheese, but my grin probably gives it all away.

in any case, dug was the first one to know about the engagement - none of my GFSS girlfriends were in attendance of the show! i figured he should know first, since he is, after all, the token GFSS male (despite never having been to an actual meeting).

and it was such a lovely evening! filled with delicious sweet fizzy lifting drinks and hand holding and kisses and amazing music by the timeout drawer. and round things. never to forget the round thing.

to commemorate the times, i went through and took photos of cute drawings anthony used to woo me:
