I'M ENGAGED!!!
Mark popped the question yesterday at one of our special places - a bench in the park in a quiet glade of trees overlooking the lake. He put a bandanna around Shad's neck that said "Please marry my daddy" and when I stood up to hug him after he put the ring on my finger, he pointed out where he'd carved our names in the bench. He had me fill in the carving with a marker and told me he'd gone over that morning to do it so that we would always remember the exact spot he asked me. We have had lots of long talks on that bench, mostly about our relationship, so it was incredibly meaningful. It was really sweet and romantic and the ring is perfect.
Things feel the same and different at the same time. I'm so happy. I didn't anticipate being this ecstatic about getting married, but I guess you really do know when things are right.
Hope everyone else is enjoying their long weekend as much as we are!
