*giggle*



Well, We were going to tell mom about him moving in… but mom called before I left work telling me she was having a nervous breakdown from too much work that she’s been doing. We were going to go over and talk about web stuff for my ‘rents biz ideas. And I was so frustrated that I wrote him an email telling him that I might be coming home early.



Then I tried to call Carlo at my place, after mom called, but he didn’t answer. So I figured he was out running errands or something. So I drove home, thinking about how to tell her about him moving in. When I parked, I didn’t see his car and I walk up my steps and notice I don’t have to unlock the door.



When the door opens a bit, I can see a rose on the shelf by the door, and I think, ‘how sweet, Carlo bought me a rose to cheer me up’ (because he does that every once in a while.)



And then I look down, and see another rose, and another, and there’s on one the TV, and they lead to the center of the room where there is a pile of them.(a whole dozen in total) And I, just peeking my head in the door, saw only in peripheral, Carlo, down on his knees(it was actually just one) but I thought he was setting up, oh no! I’ve ruined the surprise, so I ducked back out the door.



So he called me back in “Baby, Stacie, get back in here” and I came back in and saw all the roses, and him down on one knee with a little white box and I threw my stuff down and raced over to him, buried my face in his neck and gave him a big hug. I was laughing and crying and giggling all at the same time as he asked me to marry him, all I could say, in a high pitched voice was, “Are you SERIOUS?!!!!”



Of course I said yes, after the second time he said it, I was just in so much total shock, overwhelmed for so many reasons, and he asked me a third time too(I said yes then too), and I laughed, giggled and cried for the next half hour or so! All I could say, over and over was, “Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my!”



Don’t you want this, he said, pushing the white box at me, as I kept hugging and kissing him. I opened it to see the secret he’d been keeping for a few months, and he put is on my hand. My eyes welled with happy emotion, I still feel all gooey warm lovey inside.


So we went over to talk to my parents, and they were shocked, and happy I think, and then we went over to wait for his mom to come home, to tell her, and I’m just really happy. I’m so happy that we can be a unified front, a team(more than we are now), he’s really really important to me.



Apparently, he’s had the ring since July! He’s been driving around with me, in the car, with it, thinking about just springing it on me, at a time that seemed right. and it just didn’t, I guess till last night(though he mentioned he had thought about it for Wednesday). He didn’t tell anyone, he didn’t say anything to any of his friends until after, what a total surprise. heh.



Chris called us, after he plugged the phone back in(which is why I couldn’t get a hold of him) and Carlo said, “Dude, I’m sorry I had to hang up on you earlier, I had to propose to Stacie”


So, now I’m engaged. Wow!
