The Proposal

The proposal happened in Michigan. Auston's home. We went for two weeks, for me to meet his family, which kind of tells you we were serious. So, I'm going to kind of back up a bit and let you know that I knew the proposal was coming....he had been giving me hints almost everyday we saw each other. But I didn't let him know I was catching them. I acted like I had no idea what he was meaning. lol.
Anyways, so we are in Michigan, and we decided to go the Warren dunes which is the sand dunes they have over there...I mean they are extremely tall, and its so hard to get up there. So, we both were climbing up the one they call Tower Hill which is the tallest. It was so hard so he carried me part of the way (he says it was most of the way, like more than half, but i know better so we will stick to my side of the story.) lol We finally reached the top and the view was absolutely beautiful! As I was looking down I realized how beautiful the earth is, I mean we saw the water so lovely, and across in the distance we could see Chicago...faintly...but it was there.
As we were both just looking out, he turned to me and said "I want to get married with you, i love you". I was surprised, and then I asked "wait...are you proposing officially?" he said "Yes", he got on one knee and continued, "Will you marry me?" I said, "YES!!!" I started jumping up and down, and laughing hysterically! I always imagined myself crying when I get proposed to, but it didnt happen that way. I couldnt stop laughing....I was just soooo full of joy! I was ecstatic just thinking of becoming his wife! After all that and a couple of hugs and kisses ;-) we decided to tell my parents (who were also joyful of the situation) and then his parents.
He didn't have a ring with him, since he told me he wasnt planning on proposing on the trip. He just felt it was the right moment. It was so beautiful. And...the next day, we went to get my ring....im so glad I chose my ring! I love it! Getting proposed to is one of the best feelings in the world! It may have not happened the way I always dreamed, but thats what makes it special and oh so much better!!
