We're Engaged!!....and I'm finally telling the story!

Yes, the long wait is over! I have been procrastinating. Mainly because my computer has been down and I just bought a new one and just got my monitor and installed photoshop back on my computer yesterday, so I was finally able to convert my photos to post! Phew. All done now!
Anyways, Logan and I are engaged!! He popped the question on December 22, 2010 at around 8:45 ish. I was working until 8 that night and was planning on doing roomie christmas with my roomate! Now maybe before I tell the story, I'll start out with what I was expecting. It's more humorous that way :)
I knew Logan was going to propose sometime either in December or January. We were wanting to get married this summer and I really like the month of June. So he asked me how much time I would need to plan a wedding. I told him around 6 months, so he made his schedule :P Since I knew he was going to propose soon, I was planning on looking as pretty as I could. I was expecting him to maybe take me out for a nice dinner and then ask me afterwards, so I was planning on having some time to get all dolled up. I had sparkly jewelly I was going to wear, I was going to do my makeup, wear my best clothes etc. But he happened to propose to me when I was totally surprised. I was also sick that day, so my nose was red and runny, my hair was a mess and my eyeliner was running. Not to mention my eye was also bloodshot. Needless to say I looked SOOOO good :P Anyways, now that you have the picture of how great I looked, I'll continue.
I come home from work around 8:35 ish and walk in to the apartment with all the lights turned off, except the hall light. All the way from the door to the kitchen were red and white rose petals. I immediately knew what was going on. I walk down the hallway, and on the kitchen table were roses all laid out nice and a vase of roses in the middle. There were a few candles spread out throughout as well, and in between two candles was the ring! I was just shocked! I looked into my living room, and there he was, handsome as ever in his suit. I didn't even really notice the ring at first, so he got up, pointed to the ring, and then got down on one knee and popped the question!! It was so wonderful and exciting, and I just can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him! The official date is June 11, 2011. 5 months away :)
This is what I saw when I walked into the apartment
The beautiful arrangement of roses that my roomate Michelle delighted in helping him with!
The ring in the box!!
The absolutely GORGEOUS bouquet of roses he bought for me! Just one half of it though :)
This is pretty much exactly what my ring looks like. The only difference is on each side of the big diamond, there are seven diamonds instead of 6. Also on the front and back of the big diamond is one small diamond. Absolutely gorgeous! He did a great job!!
*EDIT* I also took a picture of Logan sitting in the chair in his suit, but it was on another camera and the pictures were on my laptop that's in Edmonton. I might add that one in here too, once I get it :) But don't worry. He looked great!
