Put a Ring On It

Yesterday was V-Day. As you read in my previous post, we were planning to have a nice dinner at The Melting Pot. We ended up at PF Chang's in the evening, but earlier events of the day included breakfast at Cracker Barrel, a trip to the Missouri Botanical Garden, and a marriage proposal. Yes...a proposal! I had no idea it would happen today, but I found out later that it had been planned weeks before, and everyone seemed to know about it but me-my sister, my mom and dad, Eddie's frat brother, Harrell (he introduced us) and his wife Kita, and Eddie's mom and siblings. I was truly shocked but excited. After Eddie, with a huge grin on his face, said "Will you marry me?!," I stopped shaking long enough to whisper "yes". My now fiance, Eddie Doss, and I are pictured above. A couple at the the garden was nice enough to take this photo after the moment happened. After strolling around the garden for about 20 minutes, he picked this spot in front of the waterfall to pop the question. I will always remember this day. I was asked for my hand in marriage on February 14th, 2009, Valentine's Day, in front of the waterfall at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Please wish us goodness, happiness and peace as we take this journey together.
