• Four Little Words Changed My Life

  Four little words changed my life yesterday...the words were "Will you marry me?" I think I started crying and hyperventilating at the same time. A week ago I wrote a entry about moving to the next stage aka buying a house. I knew realistically that we would buy a place and then get engaged and then married. The BF's time line was next year so he caught me totally by surprise by proposing to me. I honestly blanked on what happened, what he said, and anything else. All I remember is the ring box opening, BF getting down on one knee, and asking me to marry him. Oh, that and me repeating "Are you serious?" 100 plus times.
  
  So the set up....
  
  I had been sick all week and took Thursday off at work. Friday was my birthday and we were going to Disneyland. You get in free on your birthday and this was going to be my birthday present. BF had said that with Disneyland, High Tea, and BBQ and us trying to save our money there wasn't going to be any present this year. It made sense but I thought I would get a little present at Disneyland.
  
  So, since I thought Disneyland was my present I was going to take advantage of every minute and get there at 8am when it opened. With the BF's errands and wrong turns we didn't get there until 10. So I was annoyed. We got to ride one ride and then he wanted to take pictures by the castle. "It'll be your birthday present. We'll get a frame and it'll be nice." I always want to take pictures but not today. I wanted to ride Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, Pirates....not take pictures. He DRAGGED me to the castle and found a Disney photographer to take our pictures. As he was dragging me to take pictures I told him, "It's my birthday. I don't understand why you don't let me do me what I want." Yeah, I was cranky.
  
  We walked over and got pictures and as we were posing he asked, "Do you love me?" I said, "No." He only asks if I love him when he knows I'm angry. If I say no, I'm still mad. If I say yes, I forgive him.
  
  He asked me again if I loved him and I still said no. Then he got down on one knee and said, "Will you marry me?" After a hundred, "Are you serious?" I said yes! So we have a series of pictures of us in front of the castle of him proposing and my reaction. Pictures will be posted later.
  
  He had the perfect timing since the following day was the birthday BBQ. All of our friends were coming over and we could now celebrate the birthday and engagement. Now we're going house hunting. The BF now Fiancee wants to be in a house by the end of the year and then we'll begin wedding plans then.
  
  I'm going to end with my favorite song, "Happy Happy Joy Joy..."
