We're Engaged!!!

Ben proposed to me on Friday, April 3, 2009!! Here's how it happened:

On my way home from work, I called Ben to make sure he had picked up the shower gift that I asked him to. We got into an argument because Ben accidentally bought the wrong thing! So, I hung up the phone a bit frustrated, drove home and sat at the computer to figure out what I was going to do about exchanging this gift.

In the meantime, Ben got home and rushed in the door. He was much later that usual...when I asked him "why?" he gave me some silly reasons. Anyways, I stood up and said, "Ben I have to show you something." He said, "No, I have to show YOU something!" Then he asked, "Do you want to sing that song you always sing?" {For those of you that don't know, I like to annoy Ben and sing "Someday (instead of somewhere) Over the Rainbow".... meaning "someday" we'll get engaged.}

So anyways, I said, "No, why would I want to sing that?" He simply replied, "What if someday was now?" I yelled, "What???" As he got down on one knee I then realized what was happening. "Will you marry me?" he said. Again I yelled, "Are you serious???....and began sobbing rather than saying "yes!" Ben, also crying, said, "well, will you?" Finally I said, "YES!!"
