The Ring

The deet's on how stargazing turned into a ring on my finger:

Background: Chris and I have been trying to star gaze the past week, but due to weather and work we've had to keep rescheduling.

The night of: Tuesday night I got off work at 10:45 and called Chris to apologize for my lateness. He of course said it was ok and asked if I wanted to star gaze since the weather was cooperating, I said i'd love to. I stopped by his house, loaded up my car and we headed to Lake McMurtry. Chris soon found a spot to pull into and he started setting up shop. Once he got it set up he let me know he was trying to find a bright star we had noticed so it would be just a moment. Once he told me he found it I was in place to take a look, but...I couldn't see anything, it was pitch black! Now, i've always had problems with microscopes and focusing so I figured maybe it was just me not looking in the telescope correctly. Chris told me what knobs to turn to help me focus and scan the sky. Soon I saw something in the bottom glowing, I found a star!!! I was excited, I told Chris what I saw and he asked me if I was sure it was a star. I told him I thought it was but it was blurry. He then put his face at the end of the telescope and asked if I could see it (I could). I was asked to look again ...then I saw the glowing blob at the bottom had turned into a ring. I immediately looked up and smiled and kissed him. I was wondering how he was able to show me the ring. I asked him what kind of lens he used...I was then informed there was no lens.
