I noticed that I do not have anything posted in the "wife" category, so I thought let's take a trip down memory lane!
My husband Mike had proposed to me on November 26, 2003, the night before Thanksgiving. There were candles lit and the only light was from the Christmas Tree we had already put up and decorated. He took me over to look at for the ornaments that he made as a child. He was pointing a few out here and there, then he said "Hey, look at this one!" So I look on the tree and there was a diamond ring on a branch. It took me a second to process what I just saw and before I knew it, Mike was down on bended knee asking me to marry him. My reply...
"shutup!"
It was in a "I can't believe this is happening I am so excited" tone of voice. Then my real answer of "Yes!" came next.
He really did catch me by surprise and that is all I had ever wanted! Not to mention it was incredibly cute and romantic too!
