I would second Paulie's suggestion that you use Devise. However if you are still looking to do it yourself, I would suggest that you at least look at the "confirmable" model in the Devise source. It will help you understand the approach the Devise team took to solve this problem. You can find it here: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb
This should help you see the big picture and then you can slim it down to just the functionality you feel is necessary for your app. This is one of the great advantages to open source!
