Show-us-your-life-proposal-stories

I've been battling writers block, laundry block, vacuuming block, reading block...and the reading block could be why I am feeling not like my self this week. I think I have spent the majority of 10 minuets in the "word" bible all week. I'm hanging my head...I'm so disappointed in myself.  Why does there have to be so many distractions...and why am I distracted so easily.  If you could all keep me in prayer...I need to get back up...but I feel so heavy.   


Anyways...I visited a blog that started a Show Us Your Life - Proposal Stories and since I'm having a hard time trying to decided what to post about this week I wanted to join in on this fun.  


My proposal store is short...not a whole lot to tell... very un-interesting and common.....umm yeah no actually it was everything but original. My hubby is the kind of man that puts a lot of thought in to something, and a lot of thought in to every little detail surrounding that something and he also likes to be very sneaky. A line my hubby used on me a few times while we were dating was "Expect the Unexpected!" So needless to say...this is our very uninteresting story. July 2nd 2004 my family and I were visiting my hubby and his family down in PA.  My hubby and I lived a total of 6-7 hours away from each other while dating so being together in person was always extra special without anything else added on to it.  So anyways..July 2nd we took a road trip up to "Long Wood Gardens." Once there my hubby and I decided to walk around alone to catch up.. while my parents and bro walked in another direction.  I didn't know it then but the whole time we walked around every time we stopped my hubby was assessing the area to decided if this is were he wanted to pop the question.  At one point since the hubby had posin ivy all over his hands  instead of holding my hand he hooked his finger on to my pocket.  (This is how he accomplished part of his plan and stuck something little and round in my pocket.)  Once the hubby found the perfect place to purpose...he got down on his knee's pulled out the little red box...and popped the question. Now of course I said yes-opened the box and found.......paper......real paper folded up really tight and shaped in the a circle like a ring.  He had done it again caught me off guard.
