Wow what a whirlwind my life has been lately. Literally. Well that’s my life and a nice compliment to it was the night my best friend, my love, asked me to marry him.
I think it’s fair to say that we really love each other, and we are both a little crazy, but together we make sense.
I’ve loved him since I was a little girl yelling at my favorite movie, “No! I will not marry that crazy boy.” When the casting director came on the screen and had my would-be married name. But I always knew I would. I remember when he would pass me notes in school asking me to go out with him, I would never mark no, I would write in my own, cute but not right now.
I love him now that we are grown; I love the good and the bad. I love the fiery fights and the slow dances in movie theaters. I know in my heart and through tests and trails that this is my best friend for life, and right now I couldn’t be happier.
How He Asked Me!
It was Sunday night and he was working and had had a tuff day, he had called several times to say I love you and let me know about his day. I was staying at my mom and dad’s for the weekend I hadn’t seen them in awhile (had a blast! BBQ story to come) and it was storming. I get a phone call from him he said he has a surprise for me tomorrow I said oh really? And he said yes and we said goodnight.
I curled up in bed and was watching the weather when he called me again and said come outside. I told him, “You know I’m at my mom and dads?” He said yes, come outside.
I walk downstairs open the door and peek out. There he is hopping out of his Jeep. He has the window rolled down with a beautiful song playing. I walk over to him looking at him and the sky that is stormy. He is staking and he is staring very hard at me.
Then he says, I love you, you are my best friend. (Lighting crashes and the wind picks up) He takes my face into his hands and my hair whips around he says I love you so much, do you trust me? I nodded yes, then he took a knee and pulled my ring off of my right hand and looked up at me and asked, “Will you marry me?’ I was shaking and starting to cry and he starred up at me as I said yes! He stood up and lifted me into his arms and it started to rain a little, we kissed. It was if the whole sky was crying happy tears for us, the world smelt better felt better, happy wonderful, not even words for it.
It really hasn’t sunk in. I’m really going to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. I’m so excited for the times we are going to spend together all of the laughing, the cooking, the cleaning, the places we will see, adventures, the fights, the families, everything, bring it on! I’m so happy.
Afterwards we sat outside in the storm and watched the clouds and the lighting in a metal swing, somewhere there was a tornado sweeping things away, but there we were two crazy people in love.
