Shopping with Bella

Mood: excited
Listening to: the sound of wedding bells in the not-too-distant future

I would say that Bella dragged me, kicking and screaming, to look at engagement rings... but it would be the biggest lie ever told. Though neither of us intended to shop for an engagement ring tonight, we did just that. Bella wanted to briefly look at rings, but we didn't think she would try any on. When the saleslady insisted, we were both game. And it ended up being extremely fun and exciting. Not only did we find what might possibly be THE RING, but I now know that a beautiful ring that Bella will be proud to wear is not out of reach.

Shopping for an engagement ring seems to solidify a relationship. Never has our relationship, our future, been more clear than when I saw that ring on her finger. That wasn't light gleaming off those diamonds in my eyes, it was images of our life together. Our love. Our future. It was then that I knew for sure that this is real. It's happening. It's not a dream. When she least expects it, I am going to ask her to marry me. If I'm the luckiest man alive, she'll say yes. And we will be married.

What did I do to deserve such happiness?
