The Ring!

*Not exact, but pretty much... my gorgeous ring!*

So, I keep hearing.. how did it happen?! Where did he ask you?? Were you surprised?? So here's the 411....






June 3, 2009


It was a Wednesday. I was at work from 12-8pm. I got home after a very long, busy day.. exhausted! I walk inside and plop down on the couch. The first things that I notice is that Kevin and Laura (my little sister) are extremely hyper! They are bouncing off the walls! Laughing about everything, joking and just being plain old annoying! I'm like, guys.. seriously?! I'm tired!


So, Kev comes over. "Lets go for a walk," he says. A walk is the last thing I wanna do! But after 10 minutes of beggggging, I give in.


So, we're walking. Its a beautiful night, with a beautiful sunset.. We're talking. About moving, about my day, about his day. We get to the dam. I ask, "can we turn around now?" Nope. So, we head out across the dam. We stop to poke around and look at things. I'm yakking away about nonsense, Kevin's making small talk back. He's not next to me, I turn around to see where he is JUST as he is pulling something out of his pocket.


"WHAT IS THAT?!?!" If anyone was there to witness my reaction, I probably could have won on Americas Funniest Home Videos or something. So, I'm freaking out cause I see this little small white box.... I sit down on the ground. Kevin's laughing at me. He's talking, I'm anticipating.. and...


"Will you marry me?" :-) Of course you can guess my answer. And, suddenly I have all the energy in the world! haha. So, after a few minutes of hugging, kissing, screaming, jumping, and laughing we head back (practically running!).


Kevin had already asked my parents and shown my mom the ring (and her friend that was over, and my aunt and uncle, and everyone in the phonebook of his cell phone) And my sister had gone with him to pick it up... So they were anxiously awaiting our return! We made a pit stop at my grandparents on the way home and told them. We went home and celebrated over champagne with my parents and sister. <3
