I think that titling my blog "Planning the Next step" appropriate for this chapter in my life because I recently had some amazing thing happen to me...But let us start at the beginning a very good place to start lol.
My boyfriend and I began dating last November and have been together for over a year. We met through a good friend of ours and have basically been together ever since. I love how he can make me laugh and smile daily. Anyway getting back to the proposal...lol
We had been discussing getting engaged for a couple weeks and on a not so particular day he surprised me (he always does) I got off work at about eight o'clock at night and he met me at work and wanted to go for a drive together. (He enjoys driving and talking when he feels stressed) So off we went driving and talking like we usually do. There is a very special place that he and I share a top a mountain over looking all of Los Angels one of the first places we got to know each other. Its a plain place- sticks, dirt, rocks, mud, no seating, and the only place for miles that you can see the stars. I think we first went there because it would remind me of home...lol so he took me there the first time so we could star gaze this was before we were even dating. As he drove I had a feeling he was driving there because it calms him when he feels anxiety (which is like never). He parked the car and we walked out to the ridge. We stood in the darkness over looking the city with the stars above our heads and the sky was so clear because it had just rained...
My legs were rather soar because I had been on my feet all day and being the country girl that I am I knelt down in the mud and started talking about how I had been feeling lately about school and our future. Which has been stressing me out to the point of tears... I started to tear up and get very emotional all the while Oscar is tugging at my shoulder to stand up but I didn't want to because my legs were hurting so bad. So finally I stood up even though I was ready to be crying my eyes out due to the stress of my life he grabbed my hands and held me close and said "shh you don't need to worry anymore... You don't need to cry or feel sad or stressed everything is going to be ok" and I replied "how do you know?" "because I love you enough to ask you to marry me?' (as he pulled a small box from his pocket and my heart started to pound hard) Well being as it was that I was already really emotional lol lets just say I started balling... but they were tears of joy this time...lol He slipped the ring on my finger and all of my worries melted away because I knew that from that moment on I would be taken care of and loved and that the love that I express would always be returned.
Well at least that's what I would pray for and if I didn't think that was true there would really be no point in saying "yes" to marring him lol.
