Rubies Are a Girl's Best Friend

This is where Z and I met on November 6, 2008:

I was a recruiter at the time, and my company took his company (TripAdvisor) out for a happy hour. We talked to each other most of the night, but I thought nothing of it. The next day, my boss was adamant about Z and I getting to know each other, and against my wishes, my boss emailed Z my screen name…and the rest, as they say, is history.

On Saturday, July 7th, Z proposed to me in front of a gorgeous waterfall on a hike at Lonesome Lake. WE’RE ENGAGED!!!

Clearly, I was sobbing before this picture was taken.

July 7th is the day right in between our birthdays, and my ring has a ruby (the July birthstone) in the center of it. It was a very thoughtful proposal!

We've spent the last few days telling family and friends and drinking champagne. I feel like I haven't slept in eight weeks, but the excitement has clearly taken over. 

More recaps of our trip to New Hampshire are on their way!
