Okay, everyone! Here’s the update on the proposal!!!! 

 

Ryan and I were sitting together, it was kind of dim, the lights were low, and the Christmas tree was right in front of us. So we were sitting there, side by side, his arm around me, holding hands, with my head leaning on his chest and his chin on top of my head, looking at the Christmas tree and talking. We got quiet for a few minutes, just enjoying the fact that we were able to spend some time snuggled up, sitting in front of a Christmas tree….practically having a “normal couple” moment!

Now, something you all have to know is that R is VERY traditional. He has always said that no matter how much he wants to just go ahead and do it, he can’t propose to me officially until he has talked to my closest male relative and asked him for my hand in marriage. Which I have to say is REALLY sweet….but give me a break!! LOL! He wants to follow tradition, and I just wanna be officially engaged!!!! LOLOLOL!

 

So……..we are sitting there, being “normal”, watching the lights on the Christmas tree sparkle…..and he kissed the top of my head and he said “Cassey, I love you so much. You make me feel like I can do anything, be anything in this world that I want to be. You make me want to be a better man, simply because you deserve to have that man. You have picked me up when I was at my worst, you have stood by me through thick and thin….even when I didn’t make it very easy for you to stay. When you came into my life I thought that out of everyone in the world, 99% of them weren’t worth the effort of knowing.…..but you help me see the good. My life is not complete without you in it. I know I said I was going to wait…..nothing about our relationship has been traditional, and I wanted this to be…but you deserve more than that. I know it bothers you that I haven’t asked you officially, and you deserve to have that….we both do. So, I’m asking you, officially….Cassey, will you marry me?” 

 

OMG!!!!!!!! HOW freaking ROMANTIC was THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!It was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I love him SO much…..I can’t WAIT to become his wife!!!!!!!!!!!
