love story part 6


part 6

a lot of fun stuff happened over the next 3 years. i attended and graduated from cosmetology school, branden graduated from plumbing school, he bought a house, got his journeyman’s license, we took a few trips to arizona, and celebrated 3 years of being together in january 2011. then in march he asked me to marry him.

before we got engaged we talked about it--we knew we wanted to get married, we knew we wanted it to be in the summer/early fall, and we knew we wanted to be engaged longer than one or two months, so it was time to take the plunge! probably a week or so after we discussed it we decided to go look at engagement rings so he knew exactly what i wanted. we found my ring at a local jewelry store and i picked it out (i realize that is super boring, but what can i say? i’m picky!). i knew he was going to propose i just didn’t know when. at the time i was working 2 jobs so i would go to his house when i got off from my morning job, before i had to go to my second job.

one friday after leaving work and heading over to his house i noticed a note taped to his side door. it was the first clue of a scavenger hunt that took me all around his house. there was a walk way of rose peddles and in each room they were arranged to spell word like “will” “you” and “marry”. The final clue took me down to the basement where branden was dressed up and on one knee, ring in hand.

to be continued...
