We were high school sweethearts....I used to waitress during my senior year of high school, one night after pulling a double shift I called him like I always did when I left work and he would talk to me on my way home so I didn't fall asleep since I had like a 30 min drive home through the mountains...most nights I was going to his house anyway well this night when he asked if I was coming over I told him no I was too sleepy...I would see him in the morning b/c I had the next day off anyway...he begged and pleaded until I finally agreed to go to his house when I got there his mom was there her boyfriend at the time and some friends ( this was not an unusual occurence since his house was like the hangout so I though nothing of it) when I went in I was exhausted he fixed me some leftovers from where they had grilled out and I politely plopped on the couch to eat as I was getting done eating he said " oh baby I picked a little something up for you today" and handed me a popular CD that had just come out and had been really hard to find (I am the geeky type that likes to read the book inside of the cds) so I immediately opened it and began reading about the artist since they were fairly new at the time. In the midst of all of this I totally missed everyone crowding around the couch and him down on one knee so when I finally looked up there he was, he said " the little thing I picked up for you today was not the cd your holding, but a ring for you to wear so that when I am not with you it is a reminder of how much I love you, under 1 condition, that you will agree to be my wife and walk with me side by side for eternity, Will you marry me?" Of course I said yes and it has been almost 5 years!!! Even though I want to kill him at times I honestly love him!!
