So... I have some news. I guess I said it with the pic. Yup... Liz is engaged! It happened October 24th, 2006. I guess I will have to tell the story. Let me explain...
An ex-boyfriend of mine (who also happens to be a little psycho) got a hold of my phone number and started trying to get in contact with me. I had changed my phone number about 2 years ago to prevent him from calling or texting me. Anywho... he started off by telling me he wanted me back. Then, when he wasn't getting a positive response from me, he started making threats. Josh was getting progressively more and more upset about it. I have a lot of pride and I can't always let things be. I kind of always want the last word. I have to let my ex have a peice of my mind. Josh wanted me to let things be. I really couldn't understand why he was THAT upset about it. We ended up, on Monday, having a little spat about it. He was really upset and at one point blurted out, "LIZ! You don't understand how important this is to me! I was planning to propose to you on our 1 year anniversary!" He told me the whole story about how he was going to propose and everything.
So, the next day I was all gitty. I couldn't tell anyone, though, because it wasn't official. I couldn't contain myself so I went to the mall to check out some rings at the jewelry stores. I wanted to see how much a simple plain wedding band would cost me. I ended up finding a titanium ring that was "so Josh" and only cost me $90. I bought it!
I went to babysit Amy and Denny's kids that night while Josh was at work. While I was there I typed up a letter to him. I wrote basically about how much I loved him, how happy and lucky I was to have him in my life, etc. At the end I wrote... "and this is why I am asking..." He flipped the page over expecting to see something on the back. While he stayed confused I slipped the ring box on his lap.
So, thats it! We are engaged! I have told most of my family. The ones that don't know yet will find out soon enough. I am SOOOOOOO HAPPY!
