Last night after I was all ready for bed (tacky pj's, clean face and teeth) our doorbell rang! my roommate and I just looked at each other because we had no idea who it would be. To my surprise it was Josh! He got in his car and drove all the way to my house to bring me dessert.
It was late when he got there so we just sat around on the couch and watch The Food Network. Very romantic, I know! I was so glad he came to see me and I did not want him to leave. It was 9:30 and practically my bedtime. After he tucked me in he kneeled beside my bed, like he always does, and he wished me good night and sweet dreams. Then....he dug around in his pocket, pulled out a ring, AND ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM!!!!!! Of course I said "yes!" I was so excited. We had been talking about it but I thought for sure it would be a month or two before he asked. Nope!
The Happy Couple
The beautiful ring! Josh picked a winner! I love it!
It was such a great surprise! I'm not the easiest person to surprise. I usually know something about to happen before it does. I was shocked when he brought out the ring. It was a lot of fun to be surprised. Last night and today have been crazy! I've had a time trying to call everyone and let them know! I guess if they don't know now they will soon. Of course everyone has been so excited for me. My friend Katie (and Zach) stopped by to give my first official gift. It's a key chain with a "B" on it. That's going to be the first initial of my new last name!!

To Josh and Hillary, Jenny and I want to be among the first to wish you a lifetime of happiness. What a sweet way to propose. To Josh...job well done on the ring. Hillary deserves the best! To Hillary, wait a few years until the swelling of pregnancy arrives and you can no longer wear it!
