The engagement story

so I know I haven't written in forever...but for everyone who hasn't already heard it here it is:)

SO, it all happened on Friday night Sept. 2, Simon said we were going to go on a date and everything was going to be a surprise...so he was tricking me the whole way to Omaha, telling me we were going to go places and then he kept driving by. We ended up going to Charleston's in Omaha and we were telling stories about our relationship and how we met stuff like that. After dinner he took me to Old Navy at the mall(now any other time I would have thought this was weird but I had a drink in me) At Old Navy he was like this was the first place after we talked and I couldn't stop thinking about you and then I saw you here at Old Navy and you said hello to me...it was really cool. The whole time I was like "oh this is nice.." Then we went to Conagra downtown by the water and walked around. We sat down by where you can see the big colorful fountain and also this smaller fountain that has water coming out of masks. And he asked me "I really want to know your birthday wish," I said "No I don't want to tell you" he asked why and I said because if you tell someone a wish it won't come true. He kept pestering, and finally I was like "fine, I really want to get engaged." He said "Oh thats heavy" I said "yeah it's never going to happen because you have no money and we are just going to date forever" He was like "Oh" then he said, "You know how in the movies the beginning and the end aren't all that great but in the middle is the best part where something changes?" I said "yeah" (I still had no clue) Then he asked" Are you ready for your best part?" I said "I guess so" (Still no clue) Then Simon sat there for five minutes and said nothing, I was like" Simon, are you ok, what's wrong?" He looked down at his feet and said "well, it's just a lot harder than it looks in the movies." Then it cliked in my head. and I whispered "Oh my gosh" Then he took both my hands in his and said "Elissa, I really want to marry you." I said, "I want to marry you too!" an dthen he said, "Will you marry me?" then he pulled out the ring. I started crying, and I said yes, and then its so beautiful (about the ring)

Beuatiful huh? I think so...k well I guess I have chapter soon and then ballet class...
