A New Motivation
Power week 1 started off pretty terribly with some rain but ended awesomely with several "10" days in a row. Power week 2 doesn't seem to hold the same magic in terms of results but this week is quite magical for another reason. Ben and I are getting married! After almost 8 years together we decided to take the plunge.
I remember a night, early in our relationship, when I had fallen asleep while watching a movie with him and I muttered in my sleep, "of course I'll marry you." This is before we dropped the L bombs and after being together through so many awesome and crappy times we felt like it was the right time to make it official.
We went in to a jewelery store that was going out of business last Saturday in hopes that a ring I saw Friday would still be there and it was! He made a cash offer and we made out with the deal of the century on the most beautiful ring I have ever seen.We got to the car and he proposed right there in the parking lot... the same parking lot where my Stepfather proposed to my Mother more than 25 years earlier... with a ring from the same jewelery store that was closing. After I said I'd think about it ;) we went on a little road trip and stopped by a beautiful park in Farmington to celebrate.
He is my best friend, my soulmate, makes me laugh every day, knows how to calm me, can soothe me, and still makes me feel butterflies in my stomach when he surprises me with a touch or a kiss or a sweet nothing in my ear. I want to say I can't wait but I can. I want to savor every moment of this whole process because this is going to be the most amazing beginning to the rest of our lives.
