Engagement!!!

Woo Hoo! Louisa and I got engaged this past weekend, while cross country skiing at White Pass resort over New Years. We were there on our semi-annual trip with 8 of our closest friends; when we rent a cabin in the mountains and ski and snowshoe for the New Years holiday. This post includes a few photos of the proposal spot and of the ring. More details about the story are available from us! Here's Louisa and I the next day, posing at the White Pass nordic center sign.


Here we are right afterwards, looking pretty happy! that's a good sign.

Here's the spot where Evan took a knee (in ski boots)...


Here's a photo of the window at our house that was the inspiration for the ring design.

These are some of the design sketches for the ring. Evan collaborated with a jewelery designer at local Greenlake Jewelery to make the ring.


These are cool photos of the ring right after being cast. You can see how rough it is - next step is hand finishing and detailing.

And here's a photo of Louisa's engagement ring! done at the jewelery designers shop.


... and here's the ring on! It looks better here where it belongs.

Umm, details to come on the wedding..!
