Tuesday afternoon I arrived home to my wonderful boyfriend after spending a weekend in Cincinnati. We said hi ate lunch... you know the normal stuff. I was tired since I had gotten up at 5:15am that morning to leave so we went up stairs to take a nap. When we went upstairs I took some new candle holders that I had gotten and was going to see how they looked on the dresser while Chris went down stairs for something. LETS BACK UP FOR A MOMENT.
About a month ago I went shopping with Cheryl (Chris' mom) and a friend. While we were shopping we stopped by this jeweler to look at rings... doesn't hurt to look. While we were there I found the ONE! It was gorgeous! The guy gave Chris' mom all the information on a business card and off we went.
Back to the story...
As I was setting up the holders I had to move a few things on the dresser. One of those things happened to be a card from the jewelers (and not the same card that he gave to Chris' mom). I knew before I saw the card that he had never been up there before because its not a chain jeweler. So when I saw the card I was suspicious.
I wasn't going to say anything but if you know me you know I am nosy. So when he came upstairs I asked him when he had gone to the jeweler. Of course he had no idea how I knew he went until I showed him the card. He then told me that there was a present for me downstairs and I needed to go look for it... (I hate those types of games) So I went downstairs in the kitchen to look and I couldn't find anything! I was begging him to tell me where it was when he sat me down and he pulled it (the ring) out of his pocket and asked me to marry him. I SAID YES!!!
It wasn't how he wanted to do it... but I loved how it happened and I LOVE him!!!!
October 17, 2006 I got engaged to the most wonderful man!!!!
