OMG, !! You shouldn't tell sweet romantic stories to emotional hormonal

people. You got me all choked up and teary-eyed here. I was already in that

freaky state where I'll cry during coffee commercials and stuff. LOL What a

great story. I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!

happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!! Please keep us posted on all the details!

what a man, what a man! (OT - kinda)

so this saturday morning i had just woken up - i was all stinky and

groggy and everything. i was lying on my tummy and my boyfriend came

into the bedroom (he'd been up for a while) and sat on my butt and

started rubbing my back. he was all fired up - kept saying " what are

we gonna do today? it's free day - where do you want to go eat

breakfast? " (he's doing BFL with me).

then my cat came up on the bed and climbed on the pillow right above

my head and settled down for a nap. my BF got up - said he had to go

put his face lotion on and the cat and i just laid there dozing together.

he came back and got back on me and was rubbing my back some more

before he said " i think you should look at the cat, she looks really

cute. " so i lifted up my head and sitting there on the cat was A

FREAKING DIAMOND RING!!!!

i sat up really fast and looked at him and at it and was like, " are

you serious?!?! and he said " yes, will you marry me? "

i started crying like a baby and gave him a huge kiss and said " YES

YES YES! "

so i'm engaged!

and the best part about the story is that he was going to propose

today - we went this morning and climbed this mountain near where i

live - and it's gorgeous up there and would have been really

" romantic " and everything.

but he proposed on saturday since it was FREE DAY and we could go out

and enjoy ourselves - which we did - champagne, more champagne,

chcolate martinis, seafood pasta, apple pancakes, we did it UP! and

that's so much more important to me somehow. of course, i would have

said yes no matter WHEN he asked. . .

i'm so happy!

That is beautiful! What a sweet sweet man! DH and I have been married

about a year and a half but eloped and had never gotten a nice

wedding ring. He surprised me too a month or so ago and came to work

and " re-proposed " down on one knee with a beautiful ring.

Congrats!! Sounds like he's definitely a keeper!
