This past weekend after working in the deli until 6:30 I headed up to De Pere to visit some friends and see Ben. Saturday night I spent a few hours at Shanna's apartment for the summer waiting for Ben to get done with work, he eventually got out around 1am. So we met up and he showed me the way to his new apartment. As he showered and cleaned up from work I dozed off on his bed. I was awoken by him turning the light on, then he grabbed a small box from his dresser and got down on one knee as I sat on the edge of the bed and listened to his speech knowing exactly what was in that box but asked anyway "what's that?" He asked THE question and I said YES! So at 1am, June 9th we were engaged. I couldn't believe it.
In the morning I called my mom and told her the good news, but she already knew it was going to happen because Ben being the gentleman he is, asked my parents for permission. Throughout the day I texted my friends and saw my two roommates for the first time in 5 months with this awesome news. After Ben and I felt that mostly everyone close to us knew, we posted it on Facebook and changed our relationship status. Then our notifications proceeded to blow up.
Going back to work today after my relaxing weekend many more people found out and got to see the ring. As of now we plan to get married in two years. We both need to graduate first and I didn't want to try to plan a wedding and take some of the hardest classes I'll ever have to take.
I thank everyone who has congratulated us and wished us well.
