How I Got Where I am Today.... Part 11 The Girlfriend Ring

I am not sure on the exact day, but I would say sometime the beginning of April we were wandering around Fashion Place Mall. We stop at a kiosk and look at the jewelry. I was looking at the different rings and he asks me which one do I like. I tell him and he asks the lady working if we can look at them. So we are looking at them and I am trying them on and I fall in love with a silver ring with flowers on it. He asks if it fits, I say yes, but it's only on my left ring finger (you know the one that the wedding ring eventually goes on). He says I don't mind if you wear it on that finger. I am just looking at him in awe. My head is spinning and I am trying to figure out what is going on. So he tells the lady he would like to buy it. I get all giddy. She takes it and shines it up and hands it back to me. He rips it out of my hand and says that's my ring. I was shocked and didn't know what to say, so I just let it go. We left the mall after that and never spoke of it again.

April 25, 2008, it was a Friday. I had made plans to go over to Travis's house and hang out. I get off work and had to run home and get somethings. I tried to get a hold of him to make sure that he was home and remembered we had plans, but he wasn't answering me. I was kind of irritated. I decided to just head up there any way and hope he remembered.

At the time I was living in Murray and he was living in Bountiful. Under normal conditions it's about a 30 minute drive from my house to his. On this rather warm April evening I jump in my not air conditioned because it's broken black car and head up there. So this time of day is rush hour, so traffic is backed up and moving very slowly. I still can't get a hold of Travis and I am thinking if I drive all the way up there and he isn't there I am gonna be so pissed. And I am really hot due to the black non-air conditioned car. Grrrrr.....

About an hour later I pull into the driveway. I was happy to see his car, but irritated beyond belief about everything else. So I get out and pound on his door. No answer. I pound harder. Buddy, his dog is barking. He finally come to the door, half asleep. I am mad. I storm in and plop on the couch and watch TV and try and calm down. He hollers from the other room to come here, I respond no you come here. He hollers again, I respond no. He finally comes in and grabs my hand and pulls me off the couch. I grouchily say What! He then gets down on one knee, (my heart races and my head spins) and says, "So, you make real happy and stuff. Will you be my Girlfriend?" I am speechless. It was so adorable. I smile every time I think about it. I said "YES!" He stands up and gives me a kiss.

Twitterppated!
