Closing Day & The Proposal!

Well, the big day has finally arrived. Matt and I were scheduled for a 9am closing in Salem. I believe we were a full hour early, even after going to breakfast at Red's. It went very smoothly and there was not nearly as many papers to sign as I had imagined. Our closing attorney was a sweetheart and we were done by 9:30. We had packed up our cars on Sunday, so we stopped by my Mother's to grab my truck and then we headed to the new house. It was the most exhilarating feeling to unlock the new house and walk in and have it all be ours. So fantastic!

So we came into the house and went into the kitchen. We were looking at the papers that they former homeowners had left for us and Matt said, are you happy now? I was like, eh, I guess so. So he said, "Well then, I guess it's a good thing I brought this" and out pops a beautiful diamond ring and down on one knee he goes. Of course, I said yes and the ring fit and it was so perfect (just like Emily said). Matt did a great job with my great-grandmother's diamond (the center); it's a beautiful setting and I love it. I also love the design along the sides. My Aunt Denise took some great pictures of it so hopefully she'll send them to me and I can post some up here. Just remember, it's much more beautiful in person!
