Happy News!



I am very pleased to announce...Arthur and her BF got engaged yesterday!!!!!!!!!! They spent the day in beautiful Dahlonega, Georgia...horseback riding, dinner at an Italian restaurant, and walking around the little town, looking in different shops. Finally, they sat outside under the stars and BF told Arthur to look up at the starry sky, to pick a star and make a wish on it. Then he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him! She burst out in tears of joy, and said YES of course!

Her ring is beautiful! I don't know all the fine details, but I understand that the jeweler whom BF purchased the ring from had acquired the diamond in the ring in an estate sale. The diamond itself is over a 100 years old, but the jeweler put it in a new ring that he designed. He said the cut of the diamond is rare these days...and it is in the center of the ring and then there are smaller diamonds all around it. I hope you can see it in the pictures shown...I will try to get a closer view soon, and the name of the cut, etc.

Arthur is on cloud nine, and me and her dad and step dad, her two sisters and brother and other family members are all so happy for her. We've already started very tentative wedding plans and details...and looking at a February wedding date!

More details to come soon!
