I'm sorry but that's the only "word" that could correctly describe my joy this evening.
Remember how I said he had to ask me "the right way"? You know, better than a casual question while making dinner? Well he's had this for a few weeks now. It's the ring I've wanted for as long as I've been old enough really to want rings. He had this whole thing planned out involving a scavenger hunt, Charleston, riddles, the whole nine yards. BUT he wanted to do it before we went to Arkansas for Mark's wedding next weekend. He had it all planned for this Saturday which is... my horse show. I guess he didn't want me running around solving riddles and driving to Charleston after a horse show.
So a few hours ago the Xbox360 broke down (again), and we were laying on the couch talking. I was sad about a whole long list of things. I was sweaty from riding my bike to the store, and he was still in his UPS browns. He said BRB, then came back and told me I'd been ruining all his plans lately... and pulled it out of his pocket. :*)
Just us, on the couch with the dogs. No extravagant plot, no text book romance. But that's always been fine with me. :)
