I was returning from a big conference in San Francisco on the 13th December. I was pretty excited to be headed home for a couple of days before going back to England for Christmas, plus I had gotten upgraded on my flight from Chicago to Albany. It was only a 90 minute flight but I'll take being slightly more comfortable and free wine.
Matt picked me up at the airport and we headed home. As we got to our front door he told me to shut my eyes. This might sound bad but my first thought was "I wonder what he has broken inside"! This is what I was greeted with once I got inside and opened my eyes..

| Quite the surprise! |

| Just after the proposal - I wasn't looking my best after flying all day but who cares! |
It turns out it's really not easy to take good pictures of a ring - here is a close up of the ring on my parents Christmas tree - it's a sapphire, in a white gold setting with three diamonds inlaid on each side. It's beautiful.
