♥The Proposal♥

I thought it was going to be an ordinary Sunday.  We were just going to go up to ACU and meet Christa for a photo shoot I won in the Ya-Ya Drawing.  We took the kids in order to make it a family photo session.  I was hot and tired from rushing around like crazy trying to get everything ready.  So off we went and we posed for picture after picture.  When I thought we were finishing up...everything changed.  Glenn looked into my eyes and started saying the sweetest things I have ever heard... "I have loved you since I was 19 years old..." I was confused and tried to shush him, pointing to Christa saying "But what are you doing?  Christa is over there.  We are taking pictures."  Then he got down on his knee and it all became clear to me.  This was it.  Glenn was asking me to marry him.  I started laughing then, trying hard not to cry.  Of course I said yes and he slipped a beautiful ring on my finger.  It is 1.78 carats of oh my gosh beautiful, 35 diamonds.  I have never owned or been given anything like it.  It is very precious to me.  The love of this man is the most precious of all.  I cannot put into words how it felt to be given this day, to hear his words, to have Christa capture it all in photos...it is the culmination of a lifetime of dreaming those kinds of dreams that most people would call hopeless.  I have to thank Christa for being Glenn's co-conspirator and helping him pull this off.  I have to thank my fiance for making it so perfect for me.  I think there is nothing more permanent and lasting than the written word and photographs...now my great-great grandchildren can look back and see those photos and say "See, this is when PawPaw asked Nana to marry him."  I love that.  I love that the everlasting love Glenn and I have always had for one another is preserved for generations to come.  What a glorious day!!!!
