Engaged!

For the last few months Kelly had been dropping subtle hints about getting engaged.  Some choice quotes of these hints included statements like "Did you get my ring today?" "Where is the ring?" "Will you be giving me the ring now?"  I did actually follow through with acquiring a ring recently.  I ordered it from Whiteflash after a recommendation from Jerry (use one of us as references if you order from them.)  You can see the ring in the below pictures provided by Whiteflash.

I was actually going to wait until August 6th just to mess with Kelly.  That day was her going away party for her current job.  However another opportunity presented itself this weekend.  I will warn you this will seem a little odd.

I really wanted to see the Dark Knight in IMAX since it was filmed with IMAX cameras for certain scenes.  As I twittered there was no where in the state of Maryland that was showing it.  The original plan was to see it in Harrisburg on Saturday the 26th, then the 27th but it was sold out.  Kelly found that there were still tickets available at the Franklin Institute at 9 AM on the 27th and she bought tickets.  We later decided to spend the night in Philadelphia.  We booked a room at the Sofitel.  We had stayed at the Sofitel on the first weekend trip we took together.

On Sunday morning we ordered room service to provide for Kelly's oft requested breakfast in bed.  During that breakfast I presented her with the above ring.  You can see some more pictures of the ring in action here.  We then went to see Dark Knight.  More on Dark Knight later.  There aren't really any further details at this point.
