after nearly 8 years of dating my sweet, adoring, handsome, sometimes crazy boyfriend asked for my hand in marriage on august 21st!!! this was of course after he chatted with my parents and my brothers and asked them how they felt about us getting engaged!
although this wasn't the first time my silly bf had proposed to me - this proposal was sweet and perfect! there was the drunken phone call proposal at 3am when i lived in ashland and he was in hillsboro when he performed an entire wedding ceremony over the phone. next was the classic let's get married because we are in reno proposal - he had been drinking for like 12 hours straight prior! and then the best proposal EVER and my all time favorite (until the most recent, of course) the drunken, naked proposal where he placed my toe ring on my hand as he proposed after we had a long fun night at the bar!
all were fun and special but this last REAL proposal was different. it was HONEST & KIND & HAPPY. we both got emotional (which i wouldn't have expected either of us to do) and he explained how he felt best when he said that he had never felt so warm and happy in his life. i feel exactly the same and couldn't describe this feeling any better. we are both elated and i can't speak for him but the butterflies in my stomach have returned and are just as strong, possibly even stronger than when they first appeared almost 8 years ago!
