AHHHHH!!!!!!!

You know when one of those "I've imagined this my entire life" moments happens, and then you realize that you had no idea what you were actually imagining , and you also realize that the moment just happened so you better not miss it? Well I had one of those on Saturday...I'm engaged!

The story:

The boy took me on the Rawbanana Tour 2007-2008, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. We traversed the finest sections of P-town, highlighting many firsts in our relationship. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane, that included the likes of all of the apartments we lived in for the past year, the gas station where I did the "I have a new boyfriend" victory dance, and various date areas all leading to the final stop.

We started driving up the canyon; he was laughing the whole way because I could not remember ever being on this drive before. We finally got to the top, parked the car, and he led me a ways down the mountainside. He finally stopped and said, "Even though you haven't been here, this place is special to us because this is where I decided I wanted to be with you forever." Then we listened to a little song by Jason Mraz called A Beautiful Mess. It's us to a T. I became a wee bit weepy, and had a moment, realizing that I think we finally have a song-I had been contemplating this empty place in our relationship for quite some time. After that song we listened to a couple others, and then he finally got down on one knee and popped the question, and, of course, I said...yes!

I'm the future Mrs. P. Holy moly!

I knew it and I didn't call you back. I suck! When I got your message late Saturday I had a feeling and thought to myself, I'll call her Sunday...Sunday turned out to be busy (got home from church late and my grandpa's birthday) and I forgot to call! I'm sorry I suck as a friend, but CONGRATULATIONS!!!

P.S. The ring is BEAUTIFUL!
