Four years ago on this very day...

It was Sunday and Mom and I had gone out to eat to spend some time together.
We got back when it started getting dark and went through the back door.
I went in after mom and so I saw her and my sisters in the kitchen with roses.
I knew they were from Bryan because he sent me flowers all the time.
It was really cool because it made me all the more excited to see him the next weekend.
My sisters had a goofy grin on each of their faces which I thought was a little odd but not much else.
After smelling the gorgeous roses they told me that I had another surprise in the living room.
I thought maybe Bryan had sent a giant teddy bear or something big and goofy like that.
I anxiously walked toward the darkened living room and I saw lit candles.
I proceeded to turn the corner and there was Bryan.
I could not have been more excited.
Bryan drove four hours just to see me on a Sunday night when I was going to get to see him the next weekend.
It was hard living without him.
He was all dressed up and spiffy looking, I couldn't stop hugging him in all my excitement.
I kept asking him what he was doing there but I don't think I cared too much of the reason why.
I was hugging my boyfriend -the love of my life.
Then in all the blurryness of it all Bryan got down on one knee.
He told me how much he loved me and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me.
Then he asked those four wonderful words-
"Will you marry me?"
I squealed a yes and hugged him with no intention of letting go.
He placed a gorgeous ring on my finger and we hugged and kissed.
Then my mom and sisters come squealing giddily into the living room.
We danced around in excitement and then my stepdad and grandparents come down from upstairs.
That's when I lost it and started to cry.
It was a fantastic evening.

Now we're married and expecting our first baby.
I am incredibly blessed to have found Bryan -the love of my life.
