I know it has been forever since I actually posted something on my blog but here you go! I have finally met the love of my life, Clint Hortin. He is so amazing and he makes me so happy. We are officially engaged and here's the story!
Alright, well Clint told me we were going to look at rings. He came and picked me up and we went into Logan. On the drive he asked if we could go to second dam. And I said, "Sure...But I thought we were going to look at rings?"
He assured me we were but he just wanted to go for a walk first. I agreed and put my suspicions out of my mind. When we got to second dam I noticed he grabbed a bag out of his car. I didn't really think anything of it. Then as we started walking on the boardwalk along the water I got really really nervous. Clint kept pointing out all of the fish in the water (he has an eye for finding fish) and I wouldn't let go of his hand!! For some reason I thought if I had his hand he wouldn't propose - real logical, I know. Plus I didn't want to take my attention off of him, in case he all of a sudden ended up on one knee.
We made it to the end of the boardwalk - the whole time I was looking for people he knew. We were going to go across the bridges but then he pulled me over to this grassy area to look at a chain link fence...I was like, "There's nothing over here..."
He replied with something but I wasn't really paying attention. So after getting another wave of nerves I just latched onto him in a big bear hug. After a while I think he realized I wasn't about to let go. He started telling me how much he loved me and how much he wanted to be with me for eternity. He finally managed to pry me off of him, and I did reluctantly let go too. Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was completely speechless. I finally said yes. I kept repeating, "Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh." It was really the only thing I could say. For like 20 minutes.
And that's the story! BTW the ring is absolutely gorgeous and he picked it out all his own! He knows me well!! It's simple and absolutely beautiful!
We are both so excited for this next step in life. Some have said that we've moved too fast but if it's right, it's right and there's no need to prolong things. We both love each other and we are both seeing things realistically. We know it's not happily ever after but we are excited to face the future together. <3
