We're Getting Married!

My wonderful (still not used to saying this word) fiance and I are getting married!  He proposed to me on Saturday, January 23rd.  I was completely surprised (sort of).  I mean I had been expecting sometime soon but had convinced myself it wouldn't be for probably a few more weeks.  You see our two year anniversary is Wednesday and we decided to celebrate on Saturday.  I knew that the two year date was a benchmark and that pretty much any day after that he would possibly ask me to be his wife.  The night before I was hanging out with my best friend and she asked when I thought Billy would propose.  I said it could be tomorrow...it could be in three months...I have no idea!  Well it was tomorrow!!!  I started sensing some mischief when a few people kept asking me what I was doing for the weekend and when was I going to be seeing Billy, but I brushed it off.

Here is how the day went:

I worked in the shop from 10-2 Saturday morning and promised Billy that as soon as I got off I would head straight to his house.  So at about 3:00 I finally made it out to Billy's place (I was on the phone with him pretty much the whole drive).  He wasn't there yet because he was at his dad's chopping firewood (and showing off my ring).  On the phone he asked what did I want to do for our anniversary suggesting that we go to Morrow Mountain to look at the deer and just enjoy the beautiful weather since of course we had to something "romancy" on our anniversary...  I begged him to let us take Hudson (our lab puppy).  He immediately said no!  I kept pleading Hudson's case.  Come on honey he would love it! No!  Oh well....  We are on our way now...  Morrow Mountain is so gorgeous I could not wait to go see it!  It is our special place.  About a year and a half ago he took me there for the first time and it wasn't long after that I knew Billy and I would be together forever.  This is a picture from our first trip:

  We got there, parked, and walked toward a beautiful spot overlooking the park.  We stood there and looked at the sign where so many couples had written of their love for each other.  Billy turned me to face him and he said "You know there is something I've never told you?" "Yea..." "I love you" "I love you too!" Then Billy started going down to the ground on one knee and pulled out this little red box.  He said "Will you marry me?"  I don't think I even let him get the whole sentence out of his mouth.  I grabbed the ring and put it on the wrong finger and screamed "YES".

We are both so happy and will be going back to this spot soon to profess our love for each other on this sign hehe.

My gorgeous ring!  He was afraid I wouldn't like it, but it is the prettiest ring I have EVER seen!

Now time to start planning...
