Hello Everyone! I've been reading everyone else's proposals and although it's been a while, I am so excited to share our proposal now too! It's been almost 4 months and I'm still in shock and absolutely ecstatic to plan a wedding to my best friend.
I am a teacher and was having “one of those days” on December 20th. I had a million errands to run since the next day would be the crazy day before winter break. Kyle went with me to run all of my errands and was acting completely normal.
We came home and I took a shower and was sitting on the couch in my bathrobe with my hair tied up in a towel (cute, huh?).
Anyways, I was not in the best of moods and was feeling a little sick, so Kyle offered to get me something that would make me feel better and opened what I thought to be the cabinet in our kitchen with the TUMS (I was facing the other way on our couch, writing Christmas cards to my students). I said to him that I didn’t want anything to make me feel better, that I had a lot to do and that TUMS or wine or ice cream was not going to help me.
I felt him come up to me as I was sitting writing Christmas cards and looked over to find him down on his knee with a beautiful ring and tears in his eyes. He said that he would always be here to make me feel better. Turns out he had planned to ask over Christmas with our families but couldn’t wait any longer- he had even asked my dad the weekend before without me knowing. What a surprise! (I was shocked to say the least, and then a little embarrassed that I had been so abrupt with him in my bad mood all evening… oops 
)
We're getting married on June 29th, 2013 in the church my fiance grew up in (which also happens to be in the town where we met). I can't wait!
