Okay, so I have spastic news.
Last night, at exactly midnight, one Daniel Cody Taylor (D-chan) asked one Sarah Elaine Anderson (Andi-chan) a very important question.
Do we see where I'm going with this?
My beloved D-chan asked me to marry him last night, and I'm still on cloud nine. I have a real-life honest to god fiance, and I'm just bouncing off the walls right now. ^.^<3 Andi-chan is getting married this spring. ^^;;;;
We were sitting out in his car outside the New Year's Eve dance that our young single adult group at church has every year (I was sporting a mild headache and didn't want to go in and be assaulted by loud music), and watching the clock for what I assumed would be a couple of kisses to bring in the new year.
What I didn't expect was for him to reach in the pocket of his suit jacket exactly at midnight and pull out both a box and a heart-stopping question.
< sap >
He turned to me with those big brown eyes, offered a little, grey-velvet covered box, and asked, "Will you marry me?" with a soulful, lopsided grin.
I burst out laughing, threw my arms around his neck (and why were my hands shaking so bad?), and said "Absolutely!" all the while giggling like a nut.
< /sap >
We went back inside and one of my friends mumbled an announcement to the dance dj after finding out, and I was mobbed by screaming girlfriends that tackle-pounced and hugged me until I was blue in the face.
And then D-chan's uncle and two cousins came over, hugged me, congratulated him, and welcomed me to the family.
I still can't believe I didn't cry.
