Tuesday night Mike and I decide to drive up to Traverse City to see his sister's play. It was not the greatest idea we've ever had, as I had 2 exams the next day bright and early. But we're risk takers and did it anyway.
The play was cute, and we saw a few friends for awhile and we decided to study awhile and sleep and then leave at 6am. Well once I got studying I realized exactly how much there was to cover and did not stop until 4am.
At that point we decided, what the hell, we will make a night of it and started off on our 2 hour journey home at 4am.
During that time we had some of the most exciting, enlightening, happy conversations of our lives and well...its extremely difficult to relay that amazing feeling where everything feels right, but ..it did.
We drove into Mt. Pleasant around 6am and Mike suggested we take a walk because it was beautiful out, he stopped at his apartment to get a notepad (and i didn't think anything of it when he came out without one)
We stop at home and then as soon as we step out of my apartment into the driveway he hugs me close and puts something into my hand...I was tired and thought it was a quarter and dropped it on the ground. When I pick it back up I realize its a ring! And he asks me to marry him. :)
Of course i say yes! and thus ensues a long time of us both freaking out in the driveway being happy yadda yadda ;)
I guess he was waiting for the right moment and it really couldn't have been more perfect.
So after grad school and after David returns from abroad we will be getting married, so about 2 years or so.
I am happy :)
and that's how it happened.
