The proposal !!!

Hi Everyone!!! I am new to blogging, but I figured this would be a good way to document the wedding planning process for Ken and me. We are finally engaged!!! Anyone who knows me, knows that I have been excited about wanting to marry Ken since I met him.
Sooooo, our engagement was definitely us. It isn't anyone else's story.

Basically, we were at my place one night watching tv and talking. Ken started telling me that he found a ring for me. And of course, I don't like surprises, so I started asking a bunch of questions. He didn't know if he wanted to tell me, but he started giving me a few details. I noticed he became fidgety( which he does when he is nervous)... He began to tell me that he couldn't imagine life without me. He also told me that he was looking at size 6 ring (My finger is a size 5!!!) but that is okay. So he kept telling me about the ring and how much he has enjoyed the last year or so with me. He then asked if he proposed to me, would I say yes. I told him I couldn't say no because he probably wouldn't ask again. So at that moment, he got on his knees and told me he couldn't imagine spending life without me and said my whole name (which is really difficult to hear unless I am in trouble with my mom or getting a diploma) and asked me to be his wife. I said "Sure!" So there you go, we had no ring, but we were as serious as one could be when planning the rest of your life. He started to panic and tried to find something that would symbolize our love until I got my ring. He came up with his favorite cross necklace he got on a trip to Mexico, and that was my "engagement piece." Totally unplanned, in the moment, not traditional, but all Ken and Tujuana!!!

I could not pick a better person to spend my life with. I'm excited and can't wait to get through the next 8 months. We decided on January 1, 2o10. So wish me luck, pray a lot and see you all next time for a Journey update.
