First Day of Winter!

On December 21st, (the first day of Winter AND my Aunt Renee's birthday), Grant asked me to spend the rest of my life with him!

On one knee, he asked me here (my parent's backyard) at sunset:



And slipped this beauty on my finger.



We are so blessed! No date set yet... :) I will be sure to keep you in the loop!



Merry Christmas!

Perfect.

The reunion weekend with Grant was perfect.

His family and I got him off the plane,



fed him Bojangles (per request), cleaned up and went down the road a bit to CH so he could catch up with brothers at UNC-CH's homecoming game versus Duke.


Great game on Saturday evening followed up by a perfect autumn Sunday afternoon together and with family.

He is coming to visit my students this week as well -- he is bringing them Ethiopian lollipops :) Grant returned with many sweet gifts for us all. I got a Carolina blue handwoven scarf, Carolina blue Longchamp, and Carolina blue and silver handcrafted earrings. Do you see a theme there?

Yes please.

There is just something so sweet and classic about this ring. Thoughts?

Forget Me Knot


Gold or Sterling Silver? I say go for the gold.

Valentine's Cocktail on Friday. Get excited.
