Jason did the romantic proposal thing this weekend! He booked us a little cabin on the water at Paradise Point (a resort in San Diego near Sea World) for the weekend. We went to a fancy restaurant for dinner on Friday night – all dressed up. They brought out dessert under a silver dome and the ring was in its box on the plate. Even though we had talked about it, I had no idea it was going to happen then. We both got teary and it was really beautiful and special.
It was the first time in my life I was too excited to eat dessert. I had like 2 bites and couldn’t eat anymore! The Proposal Diet - maybe I could write a run-away bestseller weightloss book??
The ring is gorgeous – Jason had it made. From the top, it’s a fairly classic 3 stone ring, but he had some special personal touches added to the sides. There are leaves and vines and a flower with a diamond in it, and a tiny purple stone hidden at the bottom (since purple is my favorite color). It’s very sweet and romantic and one of a kind! I will definitely have to get some better pictures, the jeweler was a real artist and did some beautifully detailed work in the etching.
I attached some pictures: sorry they aren’t great quality, they were taken with my iPhone at the hotel. I told Jason he has to get his fancy camera out and take some great pics this week so I can share!
The rest of the weekend was pretty awesome – we had poolside massages and meals by the water and walked on the beach. On Saturday, we got the news that the developer accepted our house offer. We are headed over at 2:00 to start the paperwork!
It was a two offer acceptance weekend!
and best wishes!!
