I said YES!!

Wow.... it has finally happened... Thomas got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him! I am going to soon be the Mrs. Thomas Stone!! EEEKKK Most of you have already heard the news but just thought I would blog about the details! First thing first, yes he asked my dad for permission and dad asked what took him so dang long! Weird because I had the same question! lol It all went down Friday December 30, 2011... I got home from work and we had dinner, nothing seemed unusual our normal Friday night routine (exciting life I know). He suggested since the rain had stopped that we take the dogs out for a walk to the tennis court and throw the ball around for them to get some energy out.

So we get the dogs all leashed up and headed out, Thomas was wearing his normal rain coat.... the only thing that wasn't normal was that he wasn't holding my hand, and that it was shoved in his pocket. But it was cold so it made since at the time, little did I know what in a matter of 20 minutes he would pull something out of that pocket... which I am getting too! So we arrive at the tennis court and the furbabies are running around acting like their crazy selves, I could tell that Thomas was a little fidgety, which once again it was a little cold and windy so didn't think much about it. I had my back to Thomas and turned around to ask him a question, and he asked "so what's up?" my response... "Ok you are weird, nothing..." and turned around to throw the ball for Buddy. Thomas says my name, and as I turn around Thomas is down on one knee.... here is the funny part... not sure what was said because I went into HOLY COW, HOLY COW, HOLY COW mode... Next thing I know he is pulling off my glove, and my ring that is on my ringer and replaced it with a beautiful diamond engagement ring!

We haven't set a date quite yet, but it will happen early summer of this year! After 7 years no need for a long engagement, we are both ready to take the next step and start a new chapter! This was a great way to end 2011, and to start 2012!
