Tonight Michael came over to my house right before I was about to leave to work out. He said he needed to talk to me about something important. I sat down and he GOT ON ONE KNEE!!! He got teary-eyed and told me he couldn't imagine living his life without me. I didn't hear anything he said after that except, "Will you be my wife." I think I said, "OK," but I really was in a happy, happy daze, so I can't be sure. In fact, he had to ask me again later. Of course I said, "YES YES YES!!!"
We met face to face (versus on-line) the first time on January 24th, 2008. Michael planned to wait a full year until he proposed, but he said he couldn't wait any longer. I asked how long he had this planned and he said, "Since January 25." What a sweet proposal and a sweet man!
Rather than giving me a ring, Michael gave me a bracelet. It is a rose quartz bracelet (the "love quartz") with a silver heart pendant. It is engraved on one side, "From this day forward" and "Michael and Bev" on the other. He wants me to pick out the ring, so the bracelet will be our symbol for now. Of course, the ring and all that doesn't really matter, I just am so excited I get to spend the rest of my life loving this incredible man!
I want to find the perfect words to describe how I feel. I want to blow away my blog readers with romantic images and loving phrases. But I am truly speechless. There is no way to fully express the love, respect and admiration I have for Michael or the happiness I feel inside. My life feels so different now than it did a year ago... so much fuller, richer, happier. It truly feels like a dream come true. And to think it is all just the beginning. We have so much to look forward to and share together.
I am so thankful Michael came into my life, so blessed to receive his love, and so blessed he is going to be my husband. MY HUSBAND!!! MY HUSBAND!!! Thank you God for this incredible gift.
