It's a Love Story

September 9, 2010: After a beautiful, long walk at George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego, D and I went back to his house to make dinner. It was a very rare evening that we got to spend together without any other obligations. Our walk was peaceful and dinner was delicious, but the best part of the night was being together. Laughing and talking with my best friend. I repeatedly told D how much I enjoyed the evening, just having time together. After dinner, I went upstairs to dink around on the computer. Soon, D joined me and was looking over my shoulder at some pictures. Still standing behind me, D began to talk about how thankful he was for me. About all the things he loved about me and then he asked me why I loved him. I honestly didn't know where this was going but was just thinking he was in a sentimental mood. Tears are never far behind when I start recounting the ways and reasons I love him. When both of us were done, he said, tonight has been a great night, but I think we should make it even better. Huh? I said.

Then he came around to my side and got down on one knee. He told me loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and would I marry him and be his wife.

Of course, through my tears I said yes. I have known for a long time that D was the one God had for me. He gave me a beautiful ring and we cried tears of joy together. I called my parents and told them the news and they were ecstatic too. However, they already knew because my D is so sweet and had taken my dad out to breakfast a couple weeks earlier and asked his permission to marry me.

The date we set was November 13, 2010. Only 9 weeks away!
