The engagement

Oct 29th, 2011

It was a sunny day, with maple leaves all over the ground. We were getting ready to head to American Lake and watch Tim's little sister, Kristina, run in a cross country meet. I had just come out of the bathroom and was grabbing my stuff, so we could leave. Tim asked me to come over to him, in the living room of his house. I walked over and he said, "I love you." He then kissed me and gave me a hug. But he was only hugging me with one arm. I felt his other arm reaching into his pocket. He then hugged me with both arms, little did I know he was now holding a ring on his finger, but I didn't see it.

Tim then stood back, and said, "I'm ready to get married." I said, "me too." I then realized that Tim was slowly getting shorter, when I realized he was getting down on one knee, holding my ring in his hand. I of course, gasped and began crying, like every girl realizing he was FINALLY asking me. After that I don't really remember what happened, still in shock. I think I started hugging his head? But at some point Tim put the ring on my finger, and I'm sure I was shaking. I was engaged! Tim then called his parents who were anxiously waiting to hear the outcome. "We're engaged!"
