Proposal stories

[amanda6035]

It all started when he went to bed at 10pm (early) on a friday night. I should have known something was up. At the time, we were in a long distance military relationship, so phone calls were precious...

When I talked to him early saturday morning, the background noise on his phone sounded kinda crazy and I asked him, "Are you driving right now?" and he said "no, I'm sitting in front of the tv watching saturday morning cartoons drinking a cup of coffee," which was a perfectly good explanation, bc that's how he spent his saturday mornings...He rattled off a list of things he was going to do that day, go grocery shopping, etc etc. What a liar!

Well, I went christmas shopping with Mom. Again, something I picked up on AFTER the fact, was when she asked me at lunch if I thought he was going to propose for Christmas, and I said "Hell, I dunno. All I know is that he promised me he would do it before he left on deployment in May." So Mom knew - she wouldnt have brought it up if she didnt....

So, 'bout 4:00, I got home from shopping. At my apt complex, we had assigned parking spaces. I pulled up, and there was a truck in my spot. And I was like "Crap! Someone's in my spot....wait a minute....that looks like Jonny's truck....Oh my GOD! It IS Jonny's truck." So I figured he just wanted to surprise me - whatever. I mean, thoughts were running through my head real quick like "Its nice of him to want to surprise me, but I have final exams on Monday...This had BETTER be good....."

Well, it was. It was better than good. I walked in the door of the apt and said "What are you doing here?" and I looked over at the Christmas tree, and there he was, knelt down on one knee, shaking like a leaf when he asked me....

Technically, I never said "yes" I just started kissing him and he put the ring on me. Hah!

So....I found out that he went to bed early friday night, because he got on the road at 4:30 am to make the 9 hour drive down here. He met my Dad for lunch at 2pm to show him the ring and "ask permission" and all that. He said he had only been at my apt for about 10 minutes when I came home.
