Get to know me: Day 17

Your favorite memory, in great detail.


I had a hard time deciding on this memory. I have so many wonderful memories! Finally I chose to write about our engagement.
Geoff was in Alabama, visiting. It was June 2009 and I was planning on graduating at the end of the year. It had been 4 and a half years, so we knew we were going to be getting married. I may or may not have already even picked the day. Needless to say, I knew it was coming during this visit.


We spent a wonderful week together. Geoff had to work virtually a few days, and I was still working at Walmart at the time, but we had a wonderful week together. To be honest, I remember very little of the week, maybe because it was overshadowed by the proposal.


Geoff was leaving early on Sunday, and by Friday night I was starting to think he might propose on Saturday some time, since it was our last day together. Though we had already seen 2 movies in the theater that visit, we decided to go out on Friday night. We absolutely love going to the movies, and typically went at least twice a visit.


Anyway, we went to see Up on Friday night, which was excellent. I cried during the beginning of the movie, and once things started getting going, Geoff leaned over an slipped the ring on my finger.
I stared at it, and I stared at Geoff, and I don't even know what I said, or what my face looked like, but I know I didn't say anything because Geoff finally had to ask, "well??" to which, of course, I replied yes!


I didn't pay much attention to the rest of the movie, but I know I didn't stop grinning from ear to ear. I think it was the best movie I've ever seen in the theater.
