We had a wonderful Christmas and boy was it full of surprises!! No. 1 best surprise was of course, K proposing!!!!! He'd been fretting over a last minute package coming USPS from his mom, and my only crossing thought was "Well, I don't think he would USPS a ring here," and so I put any thought of such behind me and just figured it was something else. He's such a worry-wart but boy did he play down his nerves well because I never suspected . . . although he did have us up and doing Christmas gifts before 8 A.M.! Ha. After we'd opened our gifts, he said there was one more for me on the tree and that I had to find it. Looking for a new Christmas ornament, after about a minute or two he narrowed down my search to the top part and then I spotted a RING hanging from a branch. And yes, he did officially ask "Will you marry me?" I was crying as soon as I saw the ring. He really did surprise me good and swept me off my feet for the second time. Don't get me wrong, I knew we'd get married but I had really gotten the impression that we wouldn't do the whole "engaged/ring" part or at least not anytime too soon. I can only describe my feelings as, SO Happy!! That doesn't really do them justice because I'm feeling so much more certain and true with all of this than ever before, and a real deep sense of sincerity . . .
