At the beginning of October Opie and I invited friends over and we carved pumpkins and ate lots of candy, along with braised short ribs that turned out so rich and delicious. Then on Halloween Opie dressed up as Burt Reynolds (I had to live with that stache for months!!) and I went super old school and donned a white sheet with eyes and mouth cut out to be a ghost. The ghost thing really freaked people out....strange. Then into November and right before the busiest holiday of the year (my favorite Thanksgiving) Opie proposed!!! We had just had Pho at our local spot and walking home was chilly so I went to put my hands in his pocket and he brushed my hand away and reached in his pocket and pulled out a ring, all I saw was a flash and he was down on one knee!! I really don't remember anything he said but I do remember a pause and I said yes!! The ring is stunning, made in 1904 with a design that looks like it is based on an owl, it shimmers even on grey days. The other cool part is that Opie made a piece of art for the jeweler in trade for the ring (check out the black and white orb). We then took our good news into the holiday and I stuck my hand out for all to see and got much advice and many congratulations. For the day of Thanksgiving we went to McMinville and spent the night with our friends Jeff, Liz and Jason of course gorging ourselves with yummy turkey dinner.
