Let me tell you, those were the hardest 6 weeks of my life. Emily and I talk pretty much every day on AIM, and we talk about everything. Not having anyone to really talk about it with, I told Sonja first, but she just didn't have the same reaction Emily would have (of course!). I couldn't tell anyone that could possibly ruin the surprise, so I found solace in my mom. She was just as happy as I was to hear the news and it was fun to have this secret together. The ring that Matt ended up getting is gorgeous! Princess cut with small stones surrounding it and embedded in the band. I still prefer the round cut myself, but I wouldn't say no to that ring either!Matt also planned the perfect proposal. It was at the house they met at, in the same area of the yard they first talked, and he pretty much recreated their first conversation. He told me that he wanted it to be more "romantic" with candles and flowers, but just that idea is romantic! She was totally surprised (even though he made a few slip ups on the way).
Now comes all the fun stuff for them, the planning! After all that Matt went though just for the proposal, I think Em will have a good partner. No date yet, but really, who had a date the first week of their engagement?
I love you both and wish all the best for you!

You definitely need to be commended for holding that in for so long. I still think it's funny that your reaction was one I should have had. :O) I'm so glad you were a part of it and I can't wait to go through all the planning!
sweet, I can read your journal. Rock on Christine.
