It all started as just a normal day. It was a wednesday, which usually means my longest day of working. I normally get off around 7pm, but this day I got off early around 2! I was so excited because I could see Brent during the day before he went to work! So I hurried to his house to surprise him since he was finished with work! I waited in front of his house a good 10 minutes and was worried he was going to be late to work since he hadn't made it home. Just then, he zoomed passed me and parked past his house by the mail box. I was confused... because he had to of definitely seen me! I got out and met him half way to give him a kiss, and he said he was expecting something in the mail and had to change for work real fast! I was glad I could still see him a little bit. Then I went to the grocery store and headed home to have a nice long evening to write a 10+ essay for my english class due the next day! I was also planning a fun dinner with my sister-in-law Kirstie and brother Sterling since I had to eat anyways and take a break. While I waited for Kirstie to get off work, I decided to try on my grandma's wedding dress also to see if it would work for me to wear for my wedding. Kirstie came over to button me up and it looked stunning! Sterling came over and was just so so excited about the dress, which is odd. I thought it was hilarious! Then Kirstie (who was 8 months pregnant) said she had been craving McDonald's yogurt parfaits all day and Sterling really wanted one too! Sterling told me I should wear the wedding dress to McDonalds! Of course I said no, and put on my random, lazy day outfit... So we all went and Sterling treated us :) They asked me a lot of questions about Brent & I and Sterling was so happy! It was fun!! Brent texted me on his lunch break from work, I always loved it because that was the only time during work he could text. Since he worked till 11.... I told him he should meet us at McDonald's for his break but he just kept asking how Kirstie was and what we were talking about... So then we headed back to my gma's house (where I've been living) to make a yummy dinner all together! I unlocked the front door and noticed a red dot on the door from Kirstie's camera and was so confused why she was trying to take a picture of me?? So just went inside to put my purse on the couch and looked into the kitchen and saw a huge flower arrangement, and I looked at Kirstie so confused!! Right then... Brent popped up from behind all dressed up. You should have seen the look on my face... it was priceless (apparently). I was so in shock!! He was suppose to be at work?? I just kept looking back and forth between Kirstie and him confused, I really thought I was dreaming during a nap on the couch.
Anyways, I snapped back to reality when Brent was like "Come here.... :) " So I slowly walked over to him and he got down on his knee and officially asked me to marry him. I said YES!! without hesitation (since I always told myself I would for sure remember to say it).
I was in shock! My hands were literally over my mouth, I just kept saying.. "Is this real life??? That ring is so sparkly!!"
Then we had a true loves kiss! I had never been happier in my life! Brent seems to make me feel that was every day of our lives. Each day is better than the last :)
His sister surprised me and was in the corner taking pictures. Thanks to her we have pictures to always remember it :)
Then Brent surprised me with a picnic from Benja's (our favorite restaurant that we went for our first day also) and then some yummy cupcakes for desert also! It was absolutely perfect, he really shocked me just like he wanted! I really thought he was going to propose the following saturday when he finally had a day off. Turns out, he didn't have work that day and was planning everything while I was busy tryin on a wedding dress and going to McDonalds! (good thing I didn't wear the wedding dress to McDonalds or he would have proposed to me in it lol )
Let's just say... I didn't finish my paper that night because I was so excited and my sparkly ring was in the way! I got too side tracked! It was too funny, I was trying to write it while Brent did the dishes, and he caught me and said, "Babe... Stop staring over your ring and write your paper sweetheart!" haha. To finish the story... I did finish the next day the minute it was due, and got an A after all! #TenderMercies :)
