I figure I should tell my engagement story, I've been posting on the boards for about a day or so now.
Anyway, I live in a house with two roommates. It was a guy and a girl until the girl moved out suddenly at the end of May. The guy, Blake, had a friend I had met once or twice who wanted to move in. We talked about it at a beach party and all agreed. Cole moved in June 1st.
Immediately we started flirting. He's incredible and funny and perfect for me. A week later we kissed and then started dating. Really weird now because we live together.
We got really serious quickly and I knew I was in love with him almost right away. At the beginning of July we went up to Canada to visit my grandparents. Backstory: My mother left when I was young and my dad had leukemia. We moved in with his parents and he passed away when I was a teenager. Every year I went to the cemetery on the anniversary to just be with my dad, sorta, (know what I mean?) Anyway, I went up the start of July and Cole came with me to meet Nana and Papa. I found out later that Cole asked my grandparents for their blessing. He also asked if they thought my dad would have given his blessing.
This last Friday we went to the beach, just the two of us. And we were walking along the water line, just talking and holding hands and was saying some wonderful things about how much he loved me. Suddenly he got down on one knee, in the water (it's not warm in Oregon) and proposed. It was unexpected and beautiful.
Now we're getting married this October and it's all very quick. A few people have asked if I'm pregnant, since we're getting married so quickly. I'm not.
