After 7 months of knowing each other, Duke thought it would be a grand idea to ask me to marry him. And what you know, I said YES! It was your average Sunday- we were meeting at church in the morning. Duke said he would be a little late because he had to finish up some work. Forty-five minutes after the service had already started, I began to wonder what the heck he was doing. haha! We end up meeting at my house afterwards- he apologized for missing but something inside me was very curious. He said go upstairs to your room. So up I went and much to my surprise he had beautifully decorated the entire room with white balloons and notes everywhere that said "I love you" and other affirmations. I bet you can guess why he missed church because he had "a lot of work to do". : ) In that moment my heart felt like it was beating out of my chest, and I became overwhelmed with excitement and joy My entire body was shaking inside, and then he then began to read some notes he had written on individual notecards. He uttered sweet, romantic words to me until he literally could not speak anymore and then began to weep  (I made him take a moment and then had him finish reading the notes out loud to me). They read this- "      ". He managed to get down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said yes!!!!!! We cried and kissed, and he held me while I wept... for a long time. I still get the chills.

Later we drove up to LA to be with my extended family where we ate at the amazing Spago and then went for drinks and dessert at the Polo Lounge. We were again surprised with a gorgeous bottle of champagne from my two best friends. The entire day could not have been more special!
