Our Engagement

Dear Diary,
 I know you were probably up all night wondering what happend next. Here we go:)

We went up the Poconos to celebrate our three year anniversary. Before i left my mom says, " You better call me if anything good happens!" She would say that before any trip we would take so I just brushed it off.
J was mean to me all day. He had me doing work around the house while he did stuff out back and was torturing me. I thought we were just going to relax but i should have known better.
We finally made it down to the beach and as I was trying to clear some rocks from the sand so I could lay my towel down he says," They are the only rocks you are going to get!" I didn't think it was as funny as he did.
He also packed some beers, which he normally wouldn't do and when we got back to the house he kept bugging me to open gifts but i was tired and sweaty so i fell asleep while he had a few beers and watched the Philllies.
After we showered and were getting ready to leave for dinner. He wanted to open gifts again so I said ok.
We started exchanging gifts and I truly wasn't expecting a ring because of the way he was all day and the gifts weren't ring shaped. hahaha
I open my final present and it's a jigsaw puzzle with penguins on it. I looked at him like he was nuts! He had given me a puzzle for Christmas one year and it's been our running joke ever since. So I was so confused. He told me we could do it together this time and it would be nice. He told me to open the box to see the pieces with the little penguins on them because I love penguins. At this point i just wanted to go to dinner but he was pretty adimate about me opening this box. So i did and there in the middle of the box was a small redish box. He smiled and told me to open that. Still not getting it i thought maybe he bought me earrings or something.
Once i opened the box and saw this shiny, sparkly, gorgeous ring staring back at me, I was floored! I kept asking him if it was joke. He of course said no and then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I was still in shock and told him if this was joke it wasn't funny. He assured me it wasn't and asked me again since i didn't answer him and then it hit me. I said YES like a 100 times, started to cry and couldn't stop smiling. He says to me, " Now you know why I was drinking and kept asking you to open gifts!"
He put the ring on my finger and we immediately called my parents to tell them the news.

This is the day that sent me off to the races so to speak. And the craziness beings! Below is a pic of the imfamous puzzle!

I look forward to filling you in more later.
My Dearest Diary,
The Blushing Bride to be
