I just wanted to share my joy in that I have gotten engaged as of Sat Feb 13! His name is Nathan Rife and he is a research chemist with MI Swaco which is an oil services company.
We have been talking about getting married for a little while and started shopping for rings. I finally found one I liked and since my tastes didn't stay the same from store to store, Nathan bought the one I liked to stop the madness. I knew he had the ring, but he kept telling me he got to choose when he proposed to me and that it WAS NOT going to be on Valentines, his birthday (Feb 27), my birthday or any other day that already had a meaning.
So.....He proposed during our Valentines day dinner which he shopped for and cooked for me. We enjoyed a quiet night in and enjoyed a candle lit dinner. We were just sitting back and having a conversation when he started talking about being my best friend and how I made him laugh as he reached behind him for a drink coozie. I assumed that he was going to show me some smart ass quote that was printed on the coozie, but I was wrong as he pulled out the ring box. He got down on 1 knee and asked me to marry him. He said that today was the only time that I WASN'T expecting it and therefore the ONLY day that he could actually surprise me. He did. As with any woman being asked for her hand in marriage I started crying and laughing at the same time. Even knowing he had the ring it was still a shock.
We are currently looking at dates in August as Fort Bend ISD is strict on truancy and Max will be entering first grade, and Nathans mom is a teacher in Keller, TX. I will let you know more information as I get it myself. Dates and locations are still to be determined.
Love you all.
