I'm Engaged
Mood:  happy
Oh my gosh! Bryce proposed with a ring today! Ok, it starts out that today is when both my mom's side and my dad's side are having their Christmas get together, however I had to work until 4. Bryce, being the sweetie he is wanted to go and hang out with my family until I get off work. 4 0'clock came around and I called to let him know I was ready to be picked up (I'm without a car since a car accident back in November) and he said that'd he'd be there soon. When Bryce picked me up, we started to head towards a local nearby park, Morrow's Meadow, instead of back towards my Grandma Pat's and George's house. When I pointed out the other direction was a quicker route to get to Grandma's, he coyly responded, "I'd like to take a walk in the park, first." It was a cool, overcast day, but warm enough with a coat on. When we got to the park, we started down a paved walking path along Buck Creek, hand-in-hand. After we walked down the path and bit and a jogger had gone by, we stopped and he turned to me and said he had a poem for me. The poem went something like, "I love you, Rachael. Now close your eyes and picture our future together. Now what do you see?" I responded that I see us still in the relationship and happy. Then he instructed me to open my eyes and he was getting down on one knee, pulling out a ring box, asking me, "Will you marry me?" And I think I said yes, even before he finished getting the last word out of his mouth :-D He then slid the ring onto my left ring finger and we exchanged hugs and a quick kiss. He admitted that he'd messed it up a bit and was nervous, to which I responded affectionatly, "You didn't appear too nervous and did fine" And we walked back to the car, hand-in-hand, couldn't be happier.
