Friday, February 21 Taylor told me that he wanted to pick me up from campus for lunch but was very late. Little did I know that he was preparing a scavenger hunt in order to propose!
All of his friends were there helping, preparing envelopes, dropping them off at specific points, etc.
1st Stop: He sent me to the apartment he lived in over the summer that we met.
2nd Stop: To Charlie's (an ice cream shop) where we had our first date.
3rd Stop: The park where he took me on our second date. As I was driving here, it hit me - Taylor was proposing! I had a moment where I had decide if this was what I wanted; what would my answer be? Just a few moments after I had the realization, I felt at peace. I felt like I should just keep going and see what happened and how I felt.
4th Stop: The Logan Cemetery where we spent many a night searching for my relatives graves and where we first held hands.
5th Stop: My old apartment in Aggie Village where we had our first kiss.
6th Stop: Dave and Mindy Ritcher's (his Spanish professor) house. We were babysitting their kids one night and that's the first night that we seriously talked about marriage.
7th Stop: Smith's Grocery story to pick up some Oreo's - our favorite.
8th and Final stop: a parking lot overlooking the valley. This was the place that he and I decided that we were dating. Here he had an envelope of letters from his parents, Anne, and my family talking about how they were excited for us. Taylor then appeared out from the cars and got down on one knee.
It's one of those moments that you wait for your whole life and then it doesn't even feel real when it happens. I was so happy!
The ring was exactly what I wanted. I am very lucky!
