Our engagement (old myspace blog from melissa)




It started out that we were going to go out to dinner. As I was about to get ready he told me his brother had called and he needed to go and help him move some furniture. So he left to do that as I got ready. He called me about 45 minutes later and told me that his brother had broken down and he was going to let him use his truck but he needed me to come and get him so we could go eat. So I went to get in my car and that is when it started.
I opened my door and there was a notebook opened on my seat with 2 pictures. The note explained to me that I was going to have to follow the pictures to get to the next stop. The first picture was a picture of raisinets (our favorite popcorn topper!) and the second was like a cut up piece of a picture. I learned that I would be getting a piece of the puzzle each stop. On the back of each picture he had written a note of the reason that place was special. This one was because he loves our movie nights. They are our favorite dates!
So my first stop was Wal-mart. I went to the chocolate isle and there underneath some raisinets bags was another piece of the puzzle and a picture of imagination station(our first date place after we crossed the friend line). On that picture it said can you still fly?
So I went to imagination station and I found the pictures in the little airplane that we took pictures in on that date. I have another piece of the jigsaw puzzle and a picture of our spot at the reservoir. On that back of that picture he had wrote how he is glad that this place exist and where to look for the next clue.
So I went to the reservoir and finally found the next set of pictures. The next picture was to my old apartment-his new one. This picture said that this was where our first kiss happened and that it is just a little redecorated now.
So I went to his apartment and found the next set of pictures. This one had a picture of the big sign at the lake. This picture said that I now probably know where this is going so don't speed and look for warning signs.
Well I kinda just figured it was the lodge so I kinda missed a step....But if I would have stopped at the big sign he had the next set of clues on a warning sign. The picture was of the dock at the ampa theater. On the back of that picture he wrote that the first time we got to have a long face-to-face friend talk was here. You're still my best friend and I want that forever....Do you remember which bench?
So even though I skipped that step I still knew where to go. I went to the ampa theater but I didn't see his truck but I walked down the dock but I still didn't see him. He had the last picture that completed the puzzle taped to that bench. All of the pieces put together made up a picture of my ring. Then he came out and got down on one knee and proposed (with a diamond ring with PINK yes PINK sapphires!!!). And of course through my tears I said Yes!
He had his brother drop him off at the lake so that he could drive back to town with me. He was so creative and made it so special because he incorporated all the special memories of our relationship.
I don't deserve to have a fiancé like him but thank God for giving him to me!
