Hello again ladies!
I came back from my holiday travels with wonderful news! My boyfriend proposed!!!!
It happened on New Year’s Eve. I wanted to tell you girls sooner, but I wanted to wait until I had some pictures to show you also.
I had Christmas at my parents’ house, and then went to see my boyfriend for a few days. I had a fantastic time – he cooked me many delicious meals and basically spoiled me rotten for a few days. On the night of the 30th, we spent FOUR HOURS talking about engagements. I thought about what you ladies had told me before when I was going through some stressed-out times, and he seemed really receptive to hearing my ideas. He asked me what my ring size was and details on what kind of stone and setting, as well as what I wanted in terms of a timeline. Again, this went on for 4 hours! By the end of it, I was convinced that nothing had been done yet in terms of ring shopping. Boy, did he have me fooled!
On the 31st, we were having fun around his apartment, watching movies and playing board games. We were cuddling on the couch when he said to me, “I’d like to tell you a story.” I said, “Ok!”, and he got up and walked to his room. As he was getting up, my hand slid down his back and I noticed that he seemed very warm and I felt his heart beating quite fast.
He returned with a red box about the size of a shoebox. First, he took a CD and put it in the stereo, then he pulled out a book that he had made titled, “A Story of Love.” He wrote the story himself about how we met and how we fell in love. The CD was a recording of his voice reading this story – from this point on, he didn’t speak to me, I only heard the story through the speakers. He did look at me and smile a lot though!
During the introduction of the story, he pulled two Beanie Babies out of the box and gave them to me. He had used those two Beanie Babies to illustrate the story! For example, on the page where he described the first time we held hands, the two animals were holding paws.
Eventually, it got to the part of the story where it said, “After many years of being together, he decided to get her a very special gift!” He pulled a rose out of the box, gave it to me, and his voice on the CD said, “This rose represents our past and the many good times we have had together.” The CD then played one of our favorite songs, and he pulled me up to dance.
After the dance, we sat on the couch again, then he pulled out another rose. His voice on the CD said, “This rose represents our present and the time we are spending together right now.” Again, another one of our favorite songs started to play, and he pulled me up to dance again.
After this dance, he pulled out a third rose and gave it to me. The CD said, “This rose represents our future and the lifetime of happiness we will share.” He pulled me up to dance again, then the CD said, “But then, something unexpected happened!” By now my heart was beating up in my throat and I knew that THIS WAS IT!
He reached in his pocket, got down on one knee and for the first time since we began this story he spoke directly to me. “I love you more and more each day and I cannot live my life without you! Will you marry me?"
I felt like my heart was going to leap out of my chest. My eyes welled up with happy tears as did his. We hugged for a very long time, crying due to the emotion. When we finally calmed down, he put the ring on my finger, and danced to a few more of our favorite songs.
Wow.
I couldn’t be more thrilled. The proposal was so much better than anything else I ever imagined. It was so perfect. I love him so much and cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him. I feel like I’ve hit the ‘relationship jackpot’!
Thanks for listening to my story! Pictures will follow shortly as soon as I figure out how to resize them!
