The Engagement

Zach asked me to marry him on May 24th. It was funny because we had plans to go hiking that day but some errands we had to run ended up taking too long and we couldn't go. By that time all I wanted to do was lay around and watch Boy Meets World, our fave, but Z was not having it. He convinced me to get my butt off the couch by saying we could go run at the park which is also my fave. After we got done running we went to Sweet Cece's for some frozen yogurt. Then we went back to the park to lay out a blanket and look at the stars. Z played one of our favorite songs on his phone and we danced. I was a little suspicious because we aren't the type of couple that does super romantic things but I thought surely he wasn't going to propose after the weird day we had. Also I was sure he hadn't talked to my parents yet so I had convinced myself this wasn't the night.

Then things got a little strange. Z said "here let me get this other blanket out and lay it down." By this point I thought he was acting weird. I had been talking about how cold I was the whole night so I was thinking "ummm...why didn't you give it to me earlier? How stupid." I didn't know that was part of his little plan to get the ring out of his backpack. When I turned around to tell him I didn't appreciate him holding out on me with the blanket, he was bent down on one knee. Neither of us can remember exactly what he said except will you marry me and of course I said yes!
