Yep, finally. Seven long years and now he finally popped the question. And he did it in such a great way.
So this whole month I've not been the least bit excited about Christmas. In fact, it was more of a chore for me to decorate the tree and put the lights on the house. I was so depressed about money for presents and stressed about grades I would periodically just sit on my couch and cry.
I had told my boyfriend the only thing I reeeeally wanted this year was a cheap digital camera to take snapshots on so I wasn't always having rolls of film laying around waiting for me to come up with the money to have them developed.
This last Monday he gets in a fight with me (intentionally to make me feel even shittier I later found out) about house dirty the house was and how lazy I've been.
So pretty much I was like "fuck it" this year, this is the shittiest Christmas ever, etc. And I was even more upset because as I sobbed about it to my parents and to my boyfriend they just didn't seem to care.
We made up the next day but still depressed Il drudge on through the week. Christmas morning arrives and while somewhat excited we sit down to open presents. I get to my second-to-last gift and its a memory card for a digital camera. Stoked, I rip into my last gift. YES!
So I'm freaking out and turning it on, messing with the settings and he says, "Scroll through the images..I was messing around with it after I bought it for you." (As it has one of those viewing screens on the back of it) So..I get a picture of our dog Rusty, our other dog, Bailey and then there's Scott, holding a sign....it reads "Will"
At this point I sorof freeze up cause I'm thinking "no way". Then I click to the next and he's holding a sign that says "You"
Now I was almost afraid to click the third, I was thinking "Is he serious, or is he just fucking with me, is he really going to ask me?" (Because he was so adamant about waiting till I finished school)
I click on the third one and it says "Marry". Well, that was it, I didn't even get to the one that says "Me!" because I just lost it and went into hysterics. I don't even remember coherently saying yes to him but he later said I did and I about choked him giving him a hug. I didn't even let go until he asked me if I wanted to see the ring he was holding in his hand for me.
Its stunning. Its a half carat solitare princess-cut in a traditional 4-prong setting in white gold. It has a lifetime warranty on it so if ANYTHING happens to the band or I lose/break the diamond I'm covered for no charge. And I can get it re-dipped whenever I like.
So yes, I have a fiancee, I'm so stoked, and it really hasn't hit me yet that I'm getting married...MARRIED. Wow, its freakish cause every now and then we call each other "fiancee" and it just freaks me out to no end.
Needless to say, this has been the best Christmas ever.
And I promise to post the ring when I get the chance.
