Yes, the title is accurate, Kevin is actually engaged. The soon to be Mrs. Mindfulmission/Kevin.php agreed to marry me today at around 2:00pm.
2:00 on a Wednesday afternoon you ask...yup.
A. I planned on it being as casual as possible
B. I picked it up this morning and the pressure was too high
C. It is a total surprise to do it in the middle of the day in the middle of the kitchen.
How'd you do it you ask?
Well I wrote her a children's book about our life, I illustrated it poorly myself and had it bound. Then when I presented it to her (making sure she was not super-stressed before hand) I said, "Hey I wrote a children's book for you the other night, cause I thought it would be fun. It is about our life together. Then I figured it would be fun to illustrate it, so I did. Then I thought it would be fun to just get it bound, so I did. Here it is."
Then she read it, flipping the pages, laughing at my horrible drawings and my fun little story. Then she flipped to the last page to find the ring resting in a square hole cut in about a quarter inch thick of paper and she gets a surprised look on her face and then turns to me slightly and says, "Are you serious."
"Am I serious...of course I'm serious...you are amazing and there is an expensive ring right in front of you..."(those could have been my thoughts).
What I really said was, "yes." So then she said, "yes" and all of a sudden we become an engaged couple, no longer sporting the titles of boyfriend and girlfriend and signing on a spoken contract to get married.
So friends...it has finally happened. Hurray.
Look for pictures to come, but we didn't get too many close-ups of the ring because I didn't do so well on the sizing (oops) and she had to take it in to get resized. Look sometime on Saturday for the close up ring shots.
Hurray for Me and Mrs. Mindfulmission/kevin.php!!!!!!!!!!!!1
