Halloween 2005

On Halloween night, Joel picked me up at my house to go to a party at a friend's house. Once we left the party we headed home. He offered to drive my car and for some reason we took the long way home....we actually thought it would be faster. Joel grabbed my hand and started playing with the pearl and diamond ring I wore on my left hand. He asked me to close my eyes. He turned up the radio really loud (as he got the ring box out of the glove box). He took the ring off my left hand and asked me what I would do if he made that ring a "special ring". He then slipped a ring back on my hand and told me to open my eyes. And there it was....the most perfect diamond ring. He asked me to marry him as he stopped at a stop sign in the road. Of course I said yes!
He later told me that he has asked my parent's permission earlier that night. He also said that he had planned on proposing in a much different way, but that the thought of waiting drove him crazy.
It was a great night and I don't think either one of us will forget the day we became engaged! Happy Halloween!
