Being Engaged
[Boys]
So I have been engaged to Daniel Victor Fisher for 48 hours now, and I have stopped crying but I haven't stopped smiling. Dan and I were going to Harris Teeter together. I had told him not to breathe on me because he was sick and should know that that is how diseases spread, told him if his clothes don't fit him he can throw them away, and told him to wash his hands before we left because I didn't want anyone else getting sick.
Yea for that lack of class and tact on my behalf.
I darted away from him into the Valentine's Day candy, looking for 3rd grade type Valentine's day cards. He started heading into the produce section. I beckoned him over because if I found anything, I wanted him to be disgusted by my choices. To no avail.
We started to walk into the produce section and he said, "I have something much better than a Valentine." He pulled the little green box out of his pocket, "Will you marry me?"
I grabbed the box from him and hugged him around the neck and concentrated on actually saying "YES," which came out more like, "yea....ssssss." I was trying to make it sound more like a yes than just shock. I think I opened the box after some encouragement from Dan. It was his Grandma Debbie's engagement ring. Needless to say, I started crying all over again. The rest of the shopping trip is a blur of tears and kisses and me trying to remember what I even was doing there. I was just staring at Dan in disbelief and hugging him.
We bought doughnuts. I put a candle in one of them when we got back to his place, and we sang an anniversary song that we made up as we went along.
I am the most fortunate woman in the world to be loved by this wonderful man. I do not think I have ever felt as much joy!
More details will be announced later when we know them. Thank you everyone for your kind comments, emails, phone calls, and hugs. This is a wonderful new adventure for us, and I am glad you are a part of it.
Mosty, I am glad Dan is and wants to be a part of my life forever.
