On the Saturday before Thanksgiving (11/19/11) we were having dinner with the family at my Mom's for Thanksgiving. Tennille had asked me to take some pictures of Maddy that day, so I went up early and Alan came later. He and I had planned on having Mom take some pictures of us announcing we were pregnant. So, right before dinner Mom came outside to take our pictures. We used a small chalkboard and wrote the due date/+1 on it and took pictures. After we were done, he said, "What if I have an idea?" So I gave him the chalkboard and he started writing away. However, he would not let me see what it said. Logan was the only one outside with us at this point and he had the camera.
When Alan was done writing, we went back around to the front of the house and Mom came back outside. Logan really wanted to take pictures, but Mom insisted that she get the camera back, which I thought was really weird. After Alan moved me around 15 times trying to find the right spot, he finally told me to stand right where I was, put the chalkboard down by my leg (which said forever), got down on one knee, and proposed. My mom and Logan were both outside with us and my mom took pictures of the whole thing. It was absolutely perfect. My whole family was inside, but had no clue what was going on. He had only told my Mom.
I have always thought it would be awesome to have my family there when he proposed and to have pictures, BUT I had never told anyone that! Crazy how things work out!
He gave me the most beautiful ring! It was well worth the wait and I love, love, love it! It's perfect!
Love the big smile on his face in the picture!
This pictures was taken right after I said I loved the ring. He made this face and let out a big sigh. He said, "I wasn't worried about you saying yes, I was just worried about you liking the ring."
I showed my Granny thing ring once we got back inside, but let everyone else figure it out on their own. On the way back home, I called Kelsie and told her. I met Joanna for supper at El Tap to show/tell her and then went by the hospital to show Brit and Peggy!
Most perfect day ever!
