The Story and Pictures!

March 10, 2009

The night before Josh had asked me a few questions that made me think that he might propose the next day, like what time I got back to work after school, which made me very suspicious. The when I woke up, he text me and asked if I had time to shower that morning, which made me pretty sure that he was going to propose that day. I did in fact have time to shower, but had to find something extra cute to wear so I was a little late for class. All morning was sending me extra cute texts, which wasn't unusual but made me more suspicious. From the questions that he has asked me I was pretty sure he was going to be at my office when I got there, He wasn't. As the day went on his texts slowed down, So I figured it was just a normal day. He had a work call he had to take from 4 - 5, but he didn't end up picking me up til after 6. Before I left Megan told me that if I was even suspicious of him proposing to text her, even if it was a blank text or if I just typed random letters, she would know what it meant. He told me to bring my school stuff so we could do our home work, He had a quiz on Wednesday and My test was on Thursday. When we got to his house his parents invited us to go to Rumbi with them for dinner, and that was good and fun except that my salad was all messed up and not right :( We went back to his house for our Homework Party. At this point i knew it would not be happening tonight, but I was ok with that. We started on our homework and homework makes me in a bad mood, especially that day so I kept distracting myself. I was surfing the internet on my phone when my phone died, Josh said "what if you need your phone?" and I said "I won't" not thinking anything about it. Then I started picking the nail polish off my finger nails (a stupid habit that I hate) and Josh told me not to, which is pretty normal. At some point I got so ornery I wrapped myself in a blanket and laid on the couch. I looked up once and he was gone from teh table and I didn't think much of it, so I laid back down. His Dad came down the stairs and said "What the heck is this?" and then he went back upstairs, but i still didn't think anything of it. After a while the intercom beeped and I about jumped out of my skin because I had fallen asleep, the intercom beeped probably 5 more times, and I was so confused but didn't get up. The last time it beeped, Josh said "Ashlee, Come here." and I said "Where are you?" But he just hung up the intercom. I got up and noticed notes on the ground... at first I just thought that Josh dropped his flash cards he was working on while we we doing homework, until i got up close and relized they were cute little notes that he wrote about me. The note lead me in to his theater room where he was waiting on his knee with the ring! It could have not been better! He had a few things planned, he was going to show up at my work, but the ring wasn't done in time for that, but he was really going to propose on Thursday after my test was over, but when he got the ring finally he just couldn't wait. That is my favorite part of the whole story, he couldn't wait 2 days, That means so much to me!

He only had a little bit of help with the ring, I showed him a few pictures of rings I liked, but he picked it all on his own and he did such a great job, Its the prettiest ring I have ever seen, and i feels like it belongs on my finger!
I am so lucky! I could not ask for a better fiance or family to marry into! Josh is so amazing! I love him so much!
