We are Getting Married!

Today I thought I would tell a little bit about the proposal and a bit about the ring he got me! :D

I will start by saying I am very observant and normally pick up on these kinda things, however he got me soo good. We have been talking about marriage and our future plans together a lot recently so I knew it was coming at some point, but not that night. :P

The Proposal 

It was our opening game for our flag football team, we were playing under the Space Needle at Seattle Center. Rob is the team captain, and he tends to get really pumped up for games. All day he was acting super stressed, like he was off in a different world. I kept asking him if he was OK, or if he needed anything and he just kept saying, "nah I'm good, just thinking about the game." I didn't question it because he gets like that for football. Our game was a late one, it was supposed to start at 9pm. We got there kinda early, and Rob had gotten this little portable speaker "to pump the team up with some beats". He told me he forgot the tape for his ankle in the truck, so he had to run back. He took a while, but later that night I found out he was really calling my dad to talk to him. <3 The rest of the us were all practicing and getting ready for the game; after the field cleared, he called everyone over to give us his pumped up speech. He put on a song that him and I love but isn't really pumped up music, it was the song "All of Me" by John Legend. Everyone was making fun of it and saying things like "This isn't turnt up music" or "Kate what the heck is this music"; so I was like ah crap, let me change it...Rob came back and was like what the heck why are you changing the song. I tried to explain that no one wanted to hear it, but he was like I wanted this song for a reason...so I just kinda stood there like O...sorry... He goes into his speech about how this game will be amazing win or lose, and then he said and there's something else he'd like to say... He got down on one knee and everyone started tearing up, I was freaking out, my football gloves were on and I was all frazzled... and he was telling me all of these sweet things and, and... it was perfect.

<3

This was right before he proposed :D

The ring

There is so much to this ring that is meaningful to both of us, which makes it even that much more perfect!

Robert is obsessed with royal blue, his truck is blue, his motorcycle is blue, his old room was blue, I can go on forever about his blue obsession. The thing about this ring is there are two princess cut blue sapphires on the bridge under the ring; he said you may not be able to see them when initially looking at the ring, but you and I know they are there, that way you can carry a little of me with you (he's seriously amazing). There are diamonds twisting in the infinity sign on either side of the 3 main diamonds, I was told the diamonds signify past, present, and future. I'm so in love with the fact that the diamonds are circular but the "halos" around them are in squares. This ring is amazing, and the wedding band he got for it makes the ring even more spectacular; but you can all see that part after our wedding :D

In all honesty he could have given me a plastic ring and I would have said yes. He is the most amazing partner; I can't remember my life before him and I can't imagine it without him.

So in love.
