Me and Mr. Wonderful's engagement!!

This is a tag from Brit Mann.
Brit asked a few weeks ago for her readers to write about their engagements....Now I thought it would be fun to do this today because it was 14 years ago in April we got engaged. It was a Sunday and we were just lounging around and reading the paper. I was looking at the Macy's page and found this ring that I liked and though I'd done this before with out any response, I showed him the ring. With complete surprise, he said he liked the ring also, and we could drive out to Reno, to take a look at it the next day. I could not not sleep that whole night! Now if your wondering why I couldn't sleep, Mr. Wonderful and I had been together for 6 years, so you probably now can understand my excitement!
The next day as promised we went to see "the ring"! To my disappointment it looked better in the paper :..( Now this is one of the reasons he is Mr. Wonderful....he rarely disappoints. He said "Let's keep looking". In my mind I kept thinking, is this it, are we really going to get engaged???
We looked at every jewelery store in the mall and I kept going back to this ring! It was perfect for me. It looked good on my sausage ring finger and it had a lot of sparkle. (This was before the word bling was generating around!) I loved it! It was then he said this is the one, wrap it up! However it needed to be sized and we would have go back and get it!
Two days later we went back to Reno (had to pick up the ring) and at the cheesiest Chinese food, "The Golden Chopsticks" restaurant (Hey they had good food!) he popped the question, by starting out with promises that he would be a good husband, provider and he would always take care of me. Then he finished up by saying "Susan Marie Chavarria will you marry me? With tears just as big as crocodiles and really with my breath taken away, I said "YES"!!
May I say 14 years later he has more then made good on his promises and he still takes my breath away....especially when he makes me laugh oh and that other thing too! :)
