Todd asked me to marry him last week - January 26, 2006. *squealing*
I came home at the usual time around 630pm. I walked into the apt andTodd was sitting in his favorite chair enjoying the basketball game -Phoenix Suns vs Miami Heat . He greeted me like he usually does... "Heybabe..." but continued with "Can you grab me something to drink?" Ireplied, "water or soda?" but before I heard his reply I had alreadyopened the refrigerator door and I started SCREAMING!!
Delicately placed inside the frig on the 2nd shelf was a little tinybox and an envelope that read "To My Baby Doll" (that is one of Todd'smany nicknames for me). I didn't realize that he had already walked upbehind me as I reached for the velvet box and he took the envelope toread to me what he had written:
As he read me his innermost sentiments, he was down on his knee by thetime he got to the words "Will you marry me?" slipping the ring on myfinger. I couldn't stop crying and I heard myself whisper "yes" betweenmy happy tears. I never thought my engagement could be any more perfect.
Wanna see ring pics???

Just wanted to share my excitement with my RO friends and bunnyfamily... (which might explain why I've been a little MIA lately too)

My dearest Clara,
I've recently discovered that for the past few years, I was waiting forlife to begin. Lately I've come to the realization that life is not thedestination, but the journey. Life is the details. The little things.Life is a stolen kiss in the middle of a mundane, daily routine. Aprivate joke between the 2 of us and the way your smile lights up mysoul. Like I told you recentlky, "Life is what happens when you'remaking other plans." What gives life meaning is the struggle, not thevictory.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that happiness means somethingdifferent to me now than it used to. Happiness means sharing the simplepleasures of life; a basketball game, family and friends, a meal out,world travel, striving for improvement and love. I realized that whatwould make me happy more than anything in the world is not theachievement of all our dreams, but to have you with me every step ofthe way as we venture toward those dreams. I need you to be my wife.
Will you marry me?
