It has finally happened! All of my dreams are coming true and I could not be more excited. Last night we were out by the lake sitting there and talking about what seems like everything. Now this is something that we do occasionally,and although, especially recently, I have been hoping that he would whip out a ring of his pocket and seal the deal once and for all, I was never expecting it to actually happen. But I guess someone was looking down on me and gave him the push to do so. We were sitting on the grass with the lights reflecting off of the lake and unto on our faces. We had been talking for probably about twenty minutes now and were deep into conversation. Somehow the conversation led into what the future had in store and as smooth as he is, he reached into his pocket and held out a box encasing a beautiful fourteen carrot diamond ring. I was astonished and can confidently say that that moment was by far the best moment of my life. I feel so overjoyed that I have found the person who I love and am certain that he is the one I want to spend every moment of the rest of my life with.
On Monday I returned to school where I first told my close friends. They were all so happy and some of the other teachers and I plan to go to lunch to celebrate. Next I tried to explain what had happened to my Kindergartners telling them that this man who I love very much asked me to marry him. I showed them the ring and said it was a present that I get to keep and wear forever and ever since he and I plan to be together forever and ever. They all sat there with this look of awe on their face. The little girls were so cute and all rushed to see the ring while the boys glared more hesitantly from the distance. However, there were all very interested and excited to hear my story at story time.
I can not explain to you the emotions I have been feeling these past few days. I am beyond happy and overjoyed. I can not wait to start planning the wedding and will be needing your help. I am hoping that you can fly in sometime later in the month to help getting everything started. There is so much to do and so much to think about. Who do I invited, what should the gowns look like, what kind of food should we have. I already see the stress coming. Good thing there is one thing I already knew since we were little girls playing "barbie wedding." Emily will you be my maid of honor?
