She's had a ring for a couple years, we're waitin for her to finish school and then we're gonna buy a house and get married.

She also got me this:



It's a camera mount, so now I can get in car footage!!!! It's pretty cool, it just wrapped around the bar and locked itself in place and is easily removable!

Yeah, that thing is rubber, won't scratch the cage, not that it really matters, as it's already scratched, but my girl said she got it at walmart in the photo area.
