Yes, that is my hand. Yes, that is a diamond. On my left ring finger.
I'm engaged!!
How it happened:
Kerry and I were meeting up this weekend so I could give him some stuff from my room at school so I would have less to bring with me after graduation. Friday night, we both arrive at the hotel about the same time, check in, and go to the room. We were going to go to Applebee's to get an appetizer and drinks, so I sat on the bed with my coat on. Kerry said "Why don't you take off your coat and stay a while?" I mentioned that I thought we were going right away. He said that he was going to go to the bathroom first. I decided that since I'd just driven 3 hours, and drank a cup of soda (from grabbing a quick dinner at a drive-thru) in the first hour, I should go, too.
So he lets me go first. I finish, open the door, and he's on his knee with the ring, and says "We can't go yet. I have to ask you to marry me first." I was in absolute shock, because he'd always said he would propose after I graduate. I laughed, thinking "Oh G-d, he's proposing to me and I haven't crossed the threshold out of the bathroom yet!" and crying out of happiness. Ten minutes later, I'm still laughing, my hands are still shaking from the surprise/happiness, and he reminds me that I hadn't told him whether he'd marry me yet, but he'd assume that my accepting the ring meant "yes".

Congratulations - he really is a romantic young man. Are you coming to FL soon? Haven't been able to get a seasonal shift because of low attendance number therefore no maingate at this time. Hope you remember us - grandma with three blond girls - minigolf this summer. Jan
