Three years ago today (well, tonight, really), I entered a new phase of my life. My dear (then) boyfriend at the time took me to have dinner at one of our favorite restaurants - Aodake Sushi & Hibachi. I believed we were celebrating the fact that we were meeting some of my family the next day at a half-way point so Mom could hand over her truck to me (I had just purchased it from her).
We had a wonderful dinner, and he was being quite silly...after dinner, we went back to my apartment. With my roommate out for the night, we were simply watching some television. At one point, though, and I can't be sure of the details on how this happened, we were both standing in the entry hall. He was being very shmoopy and loving and letting me know how much he loved me and how happy he was. It went on for several minutes, maybe an hour, and I was blushing and smiling and crying. He finally swung me around and asked, "Do you want to surprise your family tomorrow?" I was very confused, since they KNEW we were meeting them. He dropped to one knee, pulled out the ring that had been in his pocket throughout dinner, and asked me to be his wife. I was shocked, amazed, and bursting with love and tears...after a few moments, I looked him in the eye and said, "YES!"
We did surprise my family the next day, and we all celebrated.
Three years ago, JR proposed. So many things have happened since then, and I am looking forward to what happens next.
yay!!!
