| you'll never guess what happened to me today (unless i already told you).......
i got the day off of work, so Aaron and i went to Mass this morning. then we had breakfast, and then he wanted to give me my Christmas presents. i had to shut my eyes, and he drove me back to St. Isidore's. as we were walking up, he said that he loved being with God and with me, so he wanted me to open my presents there. (i'm thinking, 'awww.... thank you, God. i got a good one.') we go inside and it's all dark and quiet. we sat down, and i opened my first present, Frommer's 2005 guide to Italy. (i'm thinking, 'okay, this is a little weird. we've talked about going to Italy on a honeymoon, huh.') then, i get my next present, an album that i made for Aaron two years ago with poetry i've written him and pictures of us and such. (now i'm thinking, 'he's a re-gifter! I already gave that to HIM!') he flips through the pages and i see little remarks he's written on each, under pictures and such. toward the end, he's added a few pages of his own; pages full of pictures of us together and when we were little and all that cute stuff. then, on the second to last page, it says "hold your breath, honey......"
and on the last page, over a picture of us, is tied a diamond ring.
he unties it and gets down on one knee and says, "Laura, will you marry me?" (and all swirling through my head i'm thinking, 'am i ready for this? does he love me that much? will i be a good wife? will he be a good husband?')
and the answer is, "YES!!!!!!!!!" (to every question!)
so yeah, i'm totally engaged now. there are three words i love about this: proposed, engaged, and fiance. these are my new favorite words. use them around me, i like hearing them. seriously.
so, a notice to all of you: keep October 7th of 2006 open, k? 'cause i'm a-gettin' hitched!!!!  |
