i'm sitting here, with this thing catching my eye. i can barely type without pausing to stare at it. guess what the thing is. no, really, guess. it's a freaking ring, that's what it is! a diamond ring. a ring that means i get to spend the rest of my life with this amazing man. an engagement ring. obviously, i'm thrilled.
last friday, he made me chicken parmesan which was delish. i wish i had some right now, as a matter of fact. he had built a fire and we had some candles on the table with the lights off as we ate. we're just sitting there talking about work and education in general when he pops up and tells me he has something for me. he has a game for me. he hands me a baggie with a puzzle in it, one from kaleidescope. the kind that you draw on and they roll it through a press that cuts it into puzzle pieces. i had made him one when we first started dating and i had taken my class on a field trip to kaleidescope - i had written "you make me laugh. oh you" so i'm thinking where did he get a kaleidescope puzzle from. he tells me to put it together, so i did. all put together, it said will you marry me. he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. hugging and kissing and yessing ensued. so romantic, right?
so in a few months, i will be changing my name. i'm so blessed.
