The
Proposal
Saturday –
So I went and sat down
next to Nate on the couch. He started to
be all “lovey-dovey” and I just wasn’t in the mood because I had an agenda for
the day and he was messing up my plans. I backed away from him and asked him if
he wanted to go to the grocery store with me.
He didn’t really answer, but I could tell that he wasn’t too excited
about that idea. So I told him that he
could stay there while I went to the store and he said no. By this time I was getting annoyed. So then I said, “O.K, then what do YOU want
to do?” His reply was, “I want to be
with you for the rest of my life.” Now,
take into mind here that Nate says sweet things like this to me all the
time. So for him to say this to me was
nothing out of the ordinary. Sill
annoyed because I had my “To Do” list on my mind, I said, “I know that Nate,
but what do you want to do RIGHT NOW?!?”
Nate
fell to the floor on his knees with his head in my lap laughing. When he picked
his head up, he held out his hand with a small box in it. He said again, “I want to be with you for the
rest of my life.” I was completely shocked. I was shaking, crying and laughing all at the
same time. I said to him over and over
again, “Nate is this a joke, or is this for real?” Even when he opened up the ring box, and
showed me the ring I asked him if it was fake.
In my eyes, it was too beautiful to be for me, and I didn’t see how
there was anyway this was really happening.
Needless to say, I said “YES” and we spent the whole day on the phone
calling family and friends.
