Happy Birthday to Me!

How can I even begin to sum up the past few days? I really don't think I can, but here is me trying to anyways.

Let's start on Sunday, that's where it all begins anyways. I was a "back sliding hair ball" according to Aunti Joeyce's standards. I over slept and didn't get to church. Shame shame! So I settled in for a nice lazy, relaxing day. I spent the morning on the piano. It was fun. I didn't really play anything special, just by ear whatever popped into my head. Everything from Jesus Loves Me to Amazing Grace among others. My own little variations. Interesting would be a way to put it. Then I spent some time outside with my Bella. That was fun too. Such is how most of my day went...

Well Sunday night was Weaver night! Woohoo! Those are always fun. So after heading over a little late I get there and think everything is completely normal. Boy was I wrong. It started out that way, until a few minutes passed and the door beside me burst open and who should come out but my very own army man! To say I was shocked would be putting it mildly. Before I could even register what was happening he was on his knee in front of me with the most georgeous ring ever! I can't believe I managed a "yes" when I was trying to get over the shock and realize what was going on. He was so nervous. It was perfect in everyway. He wasn't joking when he said I would have no idea when or where it would happen. I didn't, but I wouldn't change anything about it.

Now looking back I can't believe no one spilt the beans. It seems like a lot of people knew. They pulled it off though. It was a serious top secret operation, but what do you expect from an army guy? Afterwards we met my parents for dinner, though to be honest I'm not sure I really believed it had happened. I kept expecting to wake up, but after 3 days I haven't yet so at this point just let me sleep if it is.

So he has been lying to me for the past eight months. He knew he was coming home in April, but he kept telling me May. It's okay, this time. It has been great to have him home. I know all too well these two weeks will fly by way too fast, but it's all downhill from here! Only a few more months to go! Now that is exciting.

Today is my birthday too! The very first time in four years that he has been with my on my birthday. Every other one has been half a world apart or at least a few states. So it is definitly looking to be a great birthday. I got exactly what I've wanted the past three years. My guy with me on my special day.
