Pardon The Interruption…


I had a post started earlier and was going to explain all the fun stuff that I have planned for the month of December but then something completely MORE fun and MUCH more important happened today!!!

I GOT ENGAGED!!!! :D

I am so happy right now!  I feel like I’m living a dream!!!
My boyfriend of a little more than 3 1/2 years asked me to marry him today
and of course I said YES!!!

Here’s the short version without all the tiny details lol…

My boyfriend had class today and wanted to know if I wanted to go running after he got out around 1:30.  Of course, I said I would LOVE to (duh.. run?!) but ended up having to go to work!  Well, I ended up leaving work early and I met Joshuah to go running afterall!  I was so excited because we never get to spend time like that together anymore!

It was freezing out of course so we were all bundled up and Josh suggested we just walk a little bit to warm up before we took off running, so I grabbed his hand and we started walking… We talked about the bike path being kinda like life and how you run into different people and different things a long the way, things like that and then we came to the covered bridge that holds a soft spot in each of our hearts, and decided to go in, out of the wind to reminisce a little bit and he told me he had learned a new magic trick (being silly as always)…

So I closed my eyes and told him it better not be the tickle monster and he told me it wasn’t lol…  Then he told me I could open my eyes and turn around. Needless to say we never ended up running lol…

Reenactment after we walked back to get my phone for pictures

I’m pretty sure I had no clue it was coming!  I was so surprised!!  I didn’t even look at the ring! lol… I covered my mouth and shook my head yes as I cried happy tears and I managed to squeak out a verbal “yes” as I sat on his knee and hugged him for dear life!  I am the happiest girl alive right now!!  I can’t stop smiling! :D

We don’t have a date set yet as we haven’t really talked about it much yet.  We both have some college left (about 2 years each) so we’ll see…

All I can say is, that was the BEST “run” of my life!!! ;)
