First off give me a second to squeal in excitement, lol. Matt told me last Wednesday that he needed to come over and "have a talk with me." I'm thinking, "Oh great, what did I do?" lol. Not that Matt ever scolds me or has really anything mean to say but his tone didn't sound all that cheerful. So I'm sitting in Angelyn's room playing with her when he comes over. He asks if I can talk to him on the porch. I'm definitely NOT expecting what he is about to do...sneaky man he is. :) We start talking a little about life and he busts out with, "So I just got back from your father's house and I asked him for his blessing for you to be my wife."...Got down on one knee, told me how amazing our life is, and proposed!! Shock of my life! The first thing I said to him was, "Are you sure?!"...I never say the right things, lol. Of course I said yes. I love this man more than I even knew possible. I am still amazed that I'm going to spend my life with him.
While I'm still in this completely overwhelming, intoxicating moment he explains to me that he gave me his gradmother's engagement ring. Then I really couldn't function. I'm pretty romantic as most of you know but that literally took my breath away and brought me to tears and all of those wonderful things. What an honor! He loved his grandmother sooo much and this ring means the world to me.
I love the way everything happened. We had already planned to go to Key West for the weekend where he had originally planned to propose, but said that he really felt like there was no more perfect time than right when he did it. And it was perfect. :)
Once I regained consciousness, I checked my phone to secretly text my girlfriends and my dad had already sent me a text saying, "Have any exciting news you may want to share with us?" lol Way to kill a suprise if he hadn't asked yet. My family was thrilled and so was Angelyn. She kept talking about a wedding over and over again and how she's going to throw flowers for me to walk on and have a pink dress, lol. So freaking cute.
We left early Friday morning for Key West to celebrate which turned out to be the most romantic and fun weekend probably ever. I'll write about that a little later. :)
