Amelia and Elise both went to MOPS for the first time yesterday. I was pretty proud of myself for getting out of the house with both of them on time, dressed, and in green (thanks for the reminder mom). Honestly, it felt like the biggest feat. And, Amelia went to her class without ONE SINGLE TEAR for the first time. I was the one wanting to cry because I was so happy
Yesterday was St. Patty's Day and my husband brought me home a card and a new book! But the occasion was not just about the luck 'o the Irish, it was our fourth engagement anniversary, and I have no idea how in the world the man remembered. The proposal was fabulous- Amazing Race style with clues and hiking and waterfalls and horseback riding and painting rocks. I still remember every moment. I had dreamed of my proposal from an early age (ridiculously early) and as time went on and I threw myself into teaching, I let that dream go a little. I let it go because there was no one that I met that I could even think of spending forever with. It honestly got to the point where I would have been satisfied with the right man presenting the ring to me in the most stereotypical way possible. Throwing me the ring box even.
Then, Ross came along. In a quiet and unsuspecting manner. Cautious and interesting. A perfect match for me. And you know what? I stopped dreaming of the proposal altogether. I was just elated that I had found the one I wanted to be with forever. For once, I didn't worry about getting a ring. And when it happened, I was surprised. I was thrilled. The proposal was big, perfect, outside, and all tied in to my favorite reality tv show :)
