I haven't been too active on the forums as of late, and I miss it quite a lot, but a lot is going on in my life right now and leaves me precious little time to sleep, much less tie much, or post on here, unfortunately.
But you all are very dear to me and I want to share with you this wonderful news!
I'm engaged!
My boyfriend (and best friend!) of slightly over one year (and the one who introduced me to fly-fishing and fly-tying) proposed to me Saturday night at a salsa dancing party in my hometown! It was a total surprise as moments after he proposed both of our families and many close friends emerged from behind a closed door to celebrate with us!
We will be wed September 3rd of this year. We haven't decided yet where we will be fishing on our honeymoon. If you have any recommendations, we're up for hearing them!
I'll post a few pictures of the ring, which he is very proud of. (He worked hard and saved up for a long time to buy this ring, and he designed it himself!)

And here we are, which is a picture much more representative of US than a piece of jewelry.

Just wanted to share the news!
fondly,
