The big event happened on December 24, 2011. Chris and I have for the past few years have exchanged our Christmas presents on Christmas Eve so this year was no different. This year I got to go first. I gave Chris his presents from me and after he was done opening his it was my turn to open my presents from him. I had opened several presents already and thought that was it when Chris said to me that he had one more present but it was too big to wrap. He told me to close my eyes and he would grab it from upstairs.
I closed my eyes and started wondering what it was that he had gotten me because the only thing I could think it could be was a bean bag chair that we had asked for to have in our living room. I heard Chris start walking down the stairs and he was stomping and walking very slow like what he was carrying was really heavy. I was completely thrown off because bean bag chairs were not that heavy. So I started to prepare myself for just about anything and I told myself that no matter what it was I would act like I liked it!
When he got down the stairs he proceeded to kick all the wrapping paper on the floor out of the way as if he was about to sit something really heavy down in front of me. He then told me to open my eyes.
When I opened my eyes he was standing in front of me holding a little black box (in the shape of a cowgirl hat) and in it was the most beautiful ring you have ever seen. He then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was almost speechless. Of course my answer was YES! |
