jigg and I are engaged!

So after packing his lunch almost every day for the past couple of months, jigg finally saved up enough of his lunch money to surprise me with an engagement ring! The proposal was a complete surprise since I didn’t expect him to save up so much money so fast.  The poor guy probably starved himself for that rock.

It happened during his birthday dinner at Strip House.  After we were seated at our table, we were just chatting like we always did.  He smirked over something I said while we waited for our food and I asked him what he was laughing about.  He then said that he had a question to ask me.  When he popped the question and held out the ring, I thought he was kidding!  Of course I said yes and then made him put the ring on my finger to make it legitimate.

It was my first time at such an expensive steakhouse, but I could hardly even remember how the food tasted after the proposal.  I was so happy, ANYTHING would have tasted like a gourmet meal to me.

It will still be a surprise

“How could you talk about your wedding before proposing?” asked a friend of mine.

“Why not?” I responded.

“Because it spoils the surprise!” she screamed.

“Spoil what surprise? She already knows I’m marrying her no matter what. Besides, she won’t see it coming,” I responded.

This was one of many variations of conversations I have had with a bunch of different friends the last couple of weeks. Why does marriage have to be a surprise? If you both know how you feel about each other and you both have always had the goal of marriage, then tying the knot is inevitable.

Karen isn’t going to be surprised that I’m going to be proposing to her. She’s going to be surprised with when and how I do it. Unless of course, she knows me so well that she can read my thoughts. This is going to be fun.
