Engaged!!

Sunday, the day after I got home from Georgia, Brad proposed to me. It caught completely by surprise! He can be very mischevious...haha...But anyways, we went to church and he told me that the day before he had bought everything for a picnic. I thought that was so sweet :D So, we went on a picnic after church under one of the gazebos up on the pretty pathways by the duck pond on campus. We had some delicious turkey sandwiches, potato salad, chips, and some interesting banana pudding for dessert..haha...it was so beautiful outside and it was all very tasty. Then, we went and laid down on the grass and Brad got a text from our good friend Tiffany who wanted to know if we wanted to come over to eat some cupcakes they just made. Brad had mentioned many times how full he was so I was surprised at how much he wanted to go over and eat the cupcakes, but he is a guy and I knew he could eat more...haha...but I told him we should wait a half hour since we just laid down and we were both full. But then Tiffany said that they were leaving to go to the fireside so Brad said we should go visit Tiffany and get some cupcakes before they left. So, we went over to Tiffany's apartment and Brad knocked and then let us in and that is when I noticed the rose petals on the ground and I was like, "What? Are they throwing a party or something?" But then I noticed the candles, teddy bear, Christmas lights, and fire (a recording of a real fire playing on the TV) and I couldn't believe it! I just stood there dumbstruck and in shock realizing what was about to occur. Brad came over to where I was standing in front of the table with the candles, with my mouth still hanging open, and he told me to look at the bear. I was thinking that maybe the ring was on the bear since he was telling me to look at it so I picked it up and was looking around at it, but found nothing on it. It is a really cute bear he built at Build-a-Bear and it is in a tux with red roses in it's hand. And then Brad told me to look at the birth certificate that came with the bear so I set down the bear (on top of a candle...yeah I was really out of it) and then I picked up the certificate and saw that the bear's name was Will U. Marime. I looked over at Brad who told me that he loved me and that he wanted to be with me forever and make me happy forever and to see my smiling face everyday. Then he got down on one knee, pulled out the ring, and asked me to marry him. I quickly grabbed the ring, without really looking at it, and jumped on Brad to give him a big hug and say yes. Then we both looked at the ring, which is extremely beautiful :D It was so sweet and perfect...I love him so much and I cannot wait to get married in August.
