On my 28th birthday, May 27th 2010, Jeremy officially proposed to me, even though he knew what the answer was for quite a while. :) He intentionally came home without so much as a card or flowers... and proceeded to act like it was just like any other day. I wondered if he forgot it was my birthday, and despite the fact that I wasn't expecting any sort of pricey gifts (being that I hadn't worked for a month after we lost Gavin), I still found myself just a bit dissappointed he hadn't done so much as pick up a 99 cent card! But to my delight, this was all part of his plan. After a few hours of these shenanigans, he disappeared into the bedroom and returned a few moments later with his hands behind his back, and a smirk on his face!
I knew right then, or at least, hoped i knew, what was about to happen. He pulled a tiny box out from behind his back. I burst into tears, even though we'd talked about it many times. Now we just need to decide on a date! We have so much to do... get married, have more children,... I think I need a Xanax!
I think might be the luckiest girl in the world. True, honest, mutual-respect kind of love is awesome! Not to mention, he's incredibly handsome; he's a wonderful, thoughtful companion, he's creative, he's funny, he's motivated, and the cherry on top: he's a great cook! Finally, I found myself the "keeper"... Finally, after searching for so long... I've found the one my soul loves most.
p.s. I'm not a huge jewelry freak, but I have to say, the ring is gorgeous!
p.p.s. If you want the long, unedited, tear jerker version, visit my blog, Letters to Gavin... there is a link to it on the top right side of this blog... and find the post titled "Crooked Souls". I would not recommend this site for young children; it can get intense.
