ENGAGED!!!

I never thought this day would come, but as of today at around 6:30 or 6:45 (wasn't terribly concerned with the time at the moment), I AM ENGAGED!!!!!! 

I am engaged to marry the greatest man in the world, Robert Paul Wiggins. We don't have a date and I'm really not too worried about it. I just want to soak up every moment as his Fiancee before planning becomes hectic.  

How he did it:

My birthday was about a month ago, but I was not here, as you all know. To celebrate "my belated birthday", Rob sent me on a scavenger hunt. The first surprise of the night was my best friend, Aliciana, who came along on the ride to take pictures. 

At every station two of our friends, Nick and Wesley, waited with a new gift and a new clue. The first clue took me to Summer Snow to receive two scarves. The next clue took me to the Riverwalk to receive a Michael Buble CD. The next took me to Rodger's Library for a book of our life together. The next to Denny Chimes for a wine glass set. The next to the stadium for Swarvoski crystal earrings. Then the last, clue #6, was to Capitol Park where I received a picture frame. I must say I was a little disappointed in the frame because I was told that the gifts got better as we went along. 

As I continued looking at the frame (including a picture we had taken together last fall), I noticed that he had "Engaged" printed on it, as well as "July 23, 2009". The same moment I realized that the printed date was the current date, I saw Rob upon one knee staring up at me. In my unbelief, I shouted, "SHUT UP!!" Through my interruptions, Rob told me all the reasons he wanted to marry me along with other things I can't quite remember, popped the magic question and I said, "YES, OF COURSE!" 

To my surprise, our friend David had recorded the entire proposal. There with us, to share in the incredible moment, was Aliciana, David, Nick, and Wesley. After that we went to Lici's house, to my knowledge, only with the one's already at the park. When we walked into her apartment, I was surprised again by about 15 of our friends. 

None of the attendees. except for the one's at the park and two others, actually knew what had just happened. The rest were just as surprised as I was to find that we had just gotten engaged. Rob didn't want to take all my fun away so I got to announce to all my friends that we were engaged to be married. 

I never thought this moment would happen and still can't believe it's real. But, believe it or not, it is, in fact, real. I could not have asked for a better proposal or a better man to marry. He is absolutely incredible and will be an amazing husband. I can only pray to be half the wife to him that he deserves.
