yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!
Well, the time has FINALLY come. I'm engaged!! I can't even put into words how excited I am. Adam asked me last Friday night, October 14th. Here's the story....
We went out to dinner, because we had plans to do so anyway. We went to this small Italian restaurant called Coppola's right near our apartment (we had gone there one time for Valentine's Day too, and it was delicious). We went in and noticed that there was nobody in the restaurant except us and maybe 2 or 3 other people. It was very strange, but nonetheless, we sat down. I ordered a small cup of soup for an appetizer. The waitress brought it out and as we sat there smiling at each other, I lifted my spoon and was just about to take the first bite when Adam got up, walked over to me, knelt down and took my hand. My heart started racing and I said out loud, "What are you doing??" He then started saying the most romantic things to me (and it happened so fast I can't remember it all!), and reached for something in his pocket. Then he did it. He asked me to marry him. I was so shocked, I didn't believe him at first! I put my hand over my mouth and said, "Oh my god, are you serious?" I didn't answer, so he had to ask me again. "Will you marry me?" The tears started streaming down my face as I said an exuberant "Yes!!" I cried and cried and we hugged and the joy was just unimaginable. We eventually sat down, and the waitress came over, and saw that I was crying. She also noticed that I hadn't touched my soup yet, and asked "Uhhh, would you like me to bring out your dinners now?" To which Adam replied, "I think we might need a few minutes, I just proposed to her." The waitress shouted and said "Oh congratulations!" Too bad she didn't give us a discount on our food! :P I just couldn't believe it. I knew it was coming eventually, but I had no idea he would do it this soon. This came soon after I had been upset that all of my friends were getting engaged and I wanted to get engaged so bad. I feel horrible how bad I made Adam feel. He had to hold it in all this time!
I can't even describe the love I have for Adam. We have been together for 2 years and 3 months, and it seems so much longer than that. He has been there for me through EVERYTHING (not to mention spoiled me rotten!! :P). He's one of those people where he can make you feel so much better just by being in the room. He went and asked my Dad's blessing before he asked me, which my Dad was totally thrilled with. It really meant a lot to me and my parents that he did that. I absolutely love him so much, and I can't wait to make it official...Mrs. Jodie McCaffrey! :D
