Yes that's right! I'm engaged! Brad surprised me by showing up in College Station and proposing to me on June 20th.
I had a test that morning in my cost accounting class. He had told me the night before that he was going to play golf with some of his friends that morning so of course I believed him. Before my test he called me to tell me good luck, but he actually was really calling to make sure that I was up at the school because he was almost to my house. After my test, I went home to pack to head home for the weekend and when I opened the door to my house there were rose petals on the floor. At that moment I knew exactly what was going on and I just started crying. I followed the rose petals into the living room. In the living room, he had candles lit all around the room and a CD playing that I had made him. I walked up to him and he gave me a hug and told me that he loved me. Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! And of course I said yes! :)
We went back to Mesquite for the rest of the weekend and spent time with both of our families. On Saturday night we went out for a celebration dinner with my family and his family at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. It was a lot of fun to get to spend our engagement weekend with our families!
So now we are working on actually planning the wedding! (Which is really exciting to me!) We've decided to have the ceremony at my church in Mesquite on June 27, 2009, followed by the reception at the Hilton Bella Harbor in Rockwall. I am so excited! I can't wait for it to get here!
But until then, I will keep everyone updated and I will finish school. I know it will get here fast, but right now it feels so far away!
