Last night, May 10th, while attending the "DuhanCon" party at Matt and Tara's place...
Josh Rasey got down on TWO knees and, in front of several of my friends, presented me with my engagement ring (and wedding band) and asked me to marry him!
As those who were there to witness it can attest, I said yes!

The photo definitely doesn't do it justice. The ring is sparkly as could be. It's a lab-created pink heart shaped garnet (with four diamonds). Some lights do make it look clear or yellowish but in most lights it is a brilliant Carrie pink.
The gold is white gold on top, dipped in yellow gold on the bottom.
Wedding to happen in, like, April or May of 2009.
Thanks Yous
- Josh Rasey for being the love of my life, a wonderful guy, my future husband and hopefully father of my future children, and a big lovable mischievous goofball. Thank you for getting me the ring I wanted and surprising me with it and thank you in advance for the wedding, the marital bliss, and all the less-than-blissful moments we will share. I love you!
- Matt and Tara for hosting the engagement
- Ken Sherlock for being my best friend (and driving me out to Jewelry Exchange when I asked)
- Erin Sherlock for agreeing to be my flower girl (even if she maybe doesn't quite understand what that means)
- Everyone who took photos of the engagement (will post later once I get copies) and everyone who was there to witness it and just be my awesome, unsurpassable group of friends
- Rebecca and Emily for telling me about Jeweler's Row, where the ring was ultimately purchased
- Everyone that's about fixing to leave me a "congrats" comment. You guys rock!
- Everyone that I am forgetting, you all rock too.
And for those who have not been totally aware of my relationship with Josh Rasey, here is a photo of us together in March:
