Guess what came in this box…

Billy proposed to me last night. I knew it was coming, but I didn’t know when. He did good, that boy of mine. I had no idea that when he suggested a month and a half ago that we buy a loveseat, it was all part of his proposal plot. The loveseat was delivered yesterday, and he made me promise that I wouldn’t sit in it until we could both sit in it together. I went out after class last night (I never go out, so it was pretty ironic that this night of all nights I was out galavanting) and when I came home around midnight, the living room was clean, the boxes shoved out of the way, and the new loveseat all set up and ready for sitting. We snuggled into the loveseat and that’s when he proposed. So the first time we sat together in it, he proposed. Nice, hmmm? I think he came up with it by himself too. Now we’ll always have that story attached to the loveseat.

Okay. Girl moment. Here’s the ring:

You think it would be in bad taste to register at Threadbear? Heh heh. Just kidding! Really. Kidding.

  9. Sniff…that’s so romantic. What a sweet, smart boy. Congratulations to you both!

    OK, so maybe registering at Threadbear is a little extreme, but bridal showers are supposed to have some sort of theme, right? I’m just sayin’.
