How He Asked

On the night of 12/12/12 Quinn came home from work early. We had planned on attending Talan's basketball game but were informed those plans had changed. So I continued to wrap presents until he came home and then began to cook dinner. I was upset because I am not a fan of change or him getting upset. We ate dinner, I cleaned up the dishes, and then finished wrapping the presents to go under the tree. I put away the wrapping paper, scissors, and tape. I sit on the couch and begin to drink my glass of wine and finish TV. Meanwhile, the entire night his phone had been blowing up, which was annoying as well. Quinn lays his hand on my leg and I smile at him. I am no longer frustrated and everything is all good.

He then asks me can I wrap this box for him. I gave him a blankstare and asked, "What? Why would you let me put all of that stuff away if you wanted me to still wrap something else?" He kept insisting so I finally gave in and he brought me the stuff so I could wrap it. I told him he was acting weird. I got onto the floor to begin wrapping it and he gave me the silver box. He stopped me and said "Let me show you what I got for my mom." He opened the box and said, " I want us to be a family, will you marry me?" My first response was, "Did you ask my mom?" After the calls and me keep asking if he was serious and sure, of course I said YES! He has been more than I could have ever asked for in a man. He put it on my left hand and I noticed my nails were chipped something horrible. So, we had to make a late night run to Wal-Mart so I could fix them before sharing with the world my engagement ring!!!

The phone had been going off because he was in cahoots with both his sister and mine. As he obviously has been for the past month or so. I told several of my friends that I knew he was the one back in March. This year we have been to Las Vegas, Florida, and attended numerous weddings together. We spend as much time together as we can and lots of phone time. We never tire of one another. We trust, we love, we're honest, we laugh, we love, and always put the other first. Never once have I second guessed my feelings for him or his two boys. We don't argue and are so much alike, it's scary. I never knew love could truly and genuinely feel this good and perfect. Neither of us are perfect but we are perfect for each other, we accept each other's flaws and all. He is nothing short of being simply amazing!!
