Engaged!

I am engaged!
can you believe it? i've been dating this guy for 3 weeks and he proposes! JUST KIDDING. Darren the love of my life and i have been going out for 3 years, one month, 16days and a few hours.
i shall tell you all about it:
I recently was on a month long trip to Greece with UVic. While away on the trip i had a cell phone, therefore needles to say Darren texted and called me often. Not that i minded, it was a great source of comfort.
One day he calls me and tells me he's been day dreaming about proposeing. Usually its me who's doing the day dreaming. His day dream send butterflies through my body. (Before i left on my trip he informes me that if he had money and was not in school he would have proposed a year ago.)
later we have a long text conversation about how much he misses me and how it makes him want to merry me and then starts to ask me what kind of rings i like and telling me he'd been looking at rings online. He also tells me that he'd like to ask my dad for permition while they are on their car trip up to castlegar. I tell him he has to stop or i'll think i'm coming home to a ring.

When i get home from my trip i tell darren i feel fat and told him i want to be more active this summer. Little did i know i was walking right into his plan. He suggested we climb Mt. Finlayson that sunday and i agree.

On saturday we're in Walmart, i cant remember for what reason, and I'm looking at the fake rings because rings that Darren had gotten for me a year ago from Walmart were getting worn out from how much i wore them. I found a ring i liked and jokingly suggested to Darren that he get it for me.

Sunday rolls around and i'm not feeling that great but think i can make it up finlayson anyway. Darren asks "what can i do to get you to climb the mountain" and i say get my the ring from Walmart. so he agrees that if i make it to the top of the mountain he will get me a ring. AAAA ring, not the ring from walmart, aaaa ring. i did not clue into that.

near the top i feel like i'm going to puke, not sure if its from the climb or not feeling well that morning or both, but i almost cant make it. We get to the top and darren sits me on a big boulder in the shade. He then waits for me to cool down and feel better and then shuffles around infront of me on two knees. I thought this position was slightly odd and kind of reminicent of the down on one knee thing.

He then pulls out a Micheal Hill bag and i say "What the hell are you doing?" he then pulls out a box and hands it to me. again i say "what the hell are you doing?" in my head i'm thinking "it's not a ring, it's not a ring, it's earings, he wouln't get me a ring, it's not a ring!" Inside the box is another box which he takes and opens to this beautiful pear cut/tear drop shape saphire with four tiny dimonds and asks "Laura, will you be my wife" to which i apprently respond "wkjshes iug rj ou g"

I throw my arms around him whilst simultaniously grabing the ring and we both start to cry. the whole time we're at the top of the mountain i can't stop sniffling and randomly crying because i am so happy.

Darren did indeed ask dad for permition on the way to castlegar and dad gave it.

apprently all thoughts texts Darren had been sending me about the ring etc was testing the waters and also Darren is horrible at keeping secrets for me, which is one of the reasons why i love him.

Darren also has a ring now, its a very masculine silver ring with a small saphire to coordinate with mine.
