The Engagement!

It is official!! We are getting married!! My best friend Andrew William Lewis asked me if I would marry him! I figured it was probably going to happen when I least expected it, and sure enough it did! I arrived at his house around ten or so on February 11, as I usually do when I work late nights. I thinking its going to be just the usual get together and watch a movie or something until we get tired and then say goodnight and go our separate ways to go to bed. But this night was different. Andrew, the sweet person that he is, was slicing me up an apple when he suddenly stopped and said oh! Your surprise! … He leaves the room and returns with a beautiful vase of flowers! I thanked him and told him I loved them, but still had no idea there would be more! We continued talking and eating apples when again he says oh! There’s another part of your surprise… he walks to the fridge and pulls out strawberries... I LOVE STRAWBERRIES, so I got super excited thinking how yummy those sound right about now! Forget the apples… I want strawberries!!!  Haha J So I’m stuffing my face with the yummy strawberries when I notice “the letter” sitting on the counter, and so I ask him if its for me and he responds yes so I ask if I can read it and he says YES but that I’m going to have to sit down and read it out loud. THIS is when I knew something was up!! I began to read the letter and I couldn’t help but smile at his cute cheesy rhymes, which I absolutely LOVE!!! As I was reading the letter I was kinda freaking out in my mind thinking it’s happening, it’s finally happening!!! At the end of the letter it said he had a question to decide our eternity, and when I turned around he was down on one knee with the ring in his hand. I smiled and he was trying to hold back tears. I remember the look on his face so vividly and I was reminded at that moment of how lucky I am to be “the one” in his presence at that moment in time. I gave him a big hug and then he asked me... “Will you marry me?” I shook my head yes excitedly up and down! And then told him YES!! The Ring is absolutely beautiful and I feel very privileged to be wearing his great grandma’s diamond! I love it!
