Silly me! I wrote out my last posting before our actual anniversary! I knew Paul was planning on proposing before the end of the year... but I figured he would do it on a random Tuesday. That he would really catch me off guard!
Well... he did! In all of my thinking of Paul picking a random day to propose... I was caught off guard when he did! Sunday morning Paul was picking me up for church and as he came up the stairs I spied a card in hand. I had attempted to set up a ground rule the week before about no cards/gifts on our anniversary. Not that I didn't want them... don't get me wrong! But I felt that I wouldn't have enough time to get something together since I just got home from South Dakota. I opened up Paul's card and it was so sweet! The front said "Happy You and Me Day" - how great is that? The words he wrote were perfect and I of course teared up a bit. I gave him a big hug and that is when he said he had a present for me and out of nowhere there was a ring in his hand.
The next words out of his mouth were perfect: "I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, will you marry me?".
I cried. I laughed hysterically. And then I cried. And then I laughed some more. I was completely overwhelmed. Somewhere in between crying and laughing I said "Of course!!"
Thank you Lord for this wonderful man!
