The Proposal

We have been talking about getting married since the first week. It started out as a joke but the more we talked about it the more realistic it became. We knew that we wanted to get married this summer so I was expecting a proposal soon. I was supposed to go out of town for the weekend but I got sick and the weather was bad so I decided not to go. Instead I went to visit him for the weekend. We had plans to hang out all day Saturday and run errands but that morning he got called to work for awhile. We went to breakfast at his grandmother's house and then we went our separate ways. I went to run errands and he went to work. We were done about the same time so we were going to try to get haircuts. He showed up back at the apartment and told me that he had gotten me an appointment but he wasn't going to be able to go because he had another errand to run. We had planned on going to a dinner at church that night so I was going to make cookies to bring. After my haircut I went back to his apartment to make the cookies. Once they were in the oven I curled up in the recliner to rest when there was a knock on the door. I told them to come in but no one did so I got up to answer the door figuring that it was someone who wouldn't know that I was going to be there. When I opened the door this is what I saw.

He said the magic words, "Will you marry me?" I was so shocked that I nearly fainted but I managed to hold myself up with the wall and the door as I told him yes. We were so happy and there were tears of joy. After a couple minutes of hugging and some innocent kissing I asked him if I could see the ring because I hadn't really even paid attention to it when he asked. He just handed me the box so I told him that he had to put the ring on my finger. We just sat together and smiled for almost 20 minutes before we called anyone or sent out messages. We are so happy and so blessed to have found each other.
