Okay whew! I have changed my blog design I know three times this week…trying to find the right “feel” that represented me and what it is I wanted to get through when viewing. I finally made some adjustments and now: HERE I AM! I am so excited to be sharing this blog post today as it is dear to my heart.

On yesterday my husband and I celebrated the anniversary of the day he proposed to me. YAY! I know…we as women tend to celebrate all types of anniversaries but this one was very special. See if any of you have read my testimony then you will understand.

I remember it so vividly…we talked the entire week about going out to dinner at the Olive Garden that Friday and I was so excited. You see, I did not suspect anything because he always had something romantic planned for us. As we were driving he started talking about how he did not think he was ready for marriage because of everything he had been through in the past. Of course at the time I told him “I understood” but inside I was not only crushed but I was fuming! LOL

Once we got to the restaurant we were seated at a table and the waitress brought us our salad and bread sticks. Of course, I did not say much at this point (I was a little disappointed) and asked if he could bless the food before we began to eat. As we were praying he started to pray this extra long blessing and although I was trying to concentrate on blessing our food, I could not help think “why is he praying so long over this food?” My stomach was growling and I wanted to eat! LOL

When he said “Amen” and I repeated “Amen”…I opened my eyes to find him down on one knee (in front of the entire restaurant looking on) with this beautiful diamond ring open in front of me asking me to marry him! *Fans myself and faints* Grinning from ear to ear I said “YES YES YES!”:)

I could not believe what he did…he had me fooled big time as I was not expecting that! LOL I am happy to say that we will celebrate our 5th year wedding anniversary on March 31, 2012 and it has been the best 5 years I have ever experienced.

He is a man after God’s own heart and I LOVE him dearly!
