The Proposal
Micah and I decided to have a relaxing Saturday evening so we went to dinner and saw Promethus in Southlake. Promethus was intense and scary so I jokingly said that we needed to go do something upbeat and fun after we got out of the theater. Micah said, "Let's go, I know just the place." When we got in the car Micah was trying to lighten the mood so he started up a little karaoke session. I couldn't stop laughing as he attempted to sing and dance to songs he didn't know the lyrics to. Micah wouldn't tell me where we were going and the suspense was building as we drove to Fort Worth. He pulled into the parking lot at Trinity park (our favorite place to have a picnic lunch during the week). We went for a stroll through the park and he stopped me in-front of our favorite tree (Micah and I have spent countless hours talking and laughing about life underneath this tree) and he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was overwhelmed with happiness and cried tears of joy as he placed the rose ring on my left hand. It was so dark outside he had to pull out his phone to show me the ring! Things couldn't have been more magical as we embraced each other fireworks began going off behind the trees in the park. Words can't expressed how excited I am to be engaged to my best friend and love of my life! The past four months have been amazing and filled with more love than I could have ever imaged!
The Ring
I have always worn a rose ring on my right hand as a symbol and reminder of the love I want to have in my life. On our third date Micah asked me why I always had on the rose ring and I told him it was symbolic for the love my Grandparents had. My Grandma Rose and Papa's house was one of my favorites places to be when I was a child. My Grandma Rose always filled the house with so much love and my best childhood memories are of our family at Christmas. It has always been so important to me to find someone to create that love for our family. I wanted to find the love that could withstand anything...the love that fills your heart with joy and kindness. For the longest time I wasn't sure I could find the kind of love I dreamed of and then I met Micah. He is the most incredible person I have ever met and he has forever changed my life. He is patient, humble, caring and thoughtful...he has the biggest heart of anyone I know. He makes me laugh, fills my heart with love and my soul with joy. Today Micah replaced my rose ring with a rose gold engagement ring to symbolize the love that we have together...the love I have always dreamed of finding.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:13
Let me simply say... 11.12.13 will be the best day of my life!
