We're engaged! I'm a little late in posting this...but that's nothing new. My poor blog is quite neglected these days. Dallas proposed on March 2nd. Here's the story:
I had a suspicion that something was up that day. Several people from the front office at school came down to our classroom to talk to my co-teacher. It wasn't so much that they came, but the fact that Jenna never mentioned what they wanted that made me think that Dallas might be up to something.
We were almost finished with dismissal when I noticed someone carrying my school bag and my purse and placing it by the door. A few minutes later, a stretch hummer pulled into the parking lot. Dallas got out, and I walked in to get my things. (I'm pretty sure he thought I was running away from him when I did this.) My whole teaching team was there plus the school secretary and a few others. They took a few pictures, and then we were off.
Being that it was a Friday, I was wearing my lovely school shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes, so I begged Dallas to let me run home and at least change my shirt and shoes. He agreed to let me run home as long as I was quick. I quickly ran in, freshened up, and ran back to the hummer. Once I got back in, we headed to our destination.
While we were riding, he handed me a stuffed bear. I told him "thank you" and really didn't think much of it. He waited a few minutes, and then pointed out that the bear had a little story attached to his ear. I read the tag, and kinda wondered why he was making such a big deal about the bear. A few more minutes went by, and he said, "There might be something you want on the bear." I started looking at the bear, but I didn't see anything. I turned it this way and that, but I came up with nothing. I basically gave up and came to the conclusion that he was just messing with me. He insisted that something shiny was on the bear. Dallas finally gave up and took the ring off the bear's paw. (The bear was pretty fuzzy. I couldn't see or feel the ring.) He got down on his knee in the limo and proposed. I , of course, said yes. We enjoyed a really nice dinner at The Melting Pot, and then we returned back to my parent's house to get Lincoln.
The big day is set for June 8th. :)
