So it finally happened yesterday!  We now have our very own unique engagement story.  I spent all day yesterday cleaning for company that was coming over later to celebrate my upcoming birthday, I was just about to finish up a little after 2 when Nate came home from running up to his dad's house.  I was swiffering the bathroom floor and when I turned around I saw that Nate had followed me in and was getting down on one knee while holding open the ring box.  He didn't lie when he said he'd make it memorable!  I of course didn't answer right away, I had to first ask to make sure he was being serious... he was so I said YES!!!  Now I can officially start the planning, no more sneaking it in...  I am sooooo excited I just can not wait. Oh and I am having hard time looking away from this ring!!! I just love it!

and here it is on my finger...
