On Friday, October 23rd, I drove to Kansas City to visit Tom for the weekend. When I got to Tom's apartment complex, he helped me inside like he always does. But when he opened the door to his apartment, it was dark with candles lit all over. I didn't think too much about it because it's not uncommon for us to share candlelit dinners...
But then I saw the roses all over...then I spotted the white box in the middle of his table. About that time, Tom came around from behind me, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Tom paused for a moment as I stood there sobbing with tears of joy and excitement. Then he slipped the ring on my finger. Tom says he was was waiting and waiting for me to say yes -- I know I said it though!!! I guess I must've been screaming it in my head except nothing but tears came out? Then we just held eachother and promised our lives and hearts...he cooked a fabulous dinnner that we ate in the candle light.
Tom chose the 23rd because we first met October 24th of last year (2008) at a resurant in our community in Kansas City. He knew he wanted to propose on the first year anniversary of us first meeting had having our first date, but he wanted to propose privately to make it more intimate. Hence, why he proposed to me on the 23rd (plus, October 23, 2010 falls on a Saturday). The day after he proposed, Tom took me to lunch at that same resturant we met. We had a fabulous weekend...I couldn't of asked for a more intimate, romantic, special moment. It made me fall in love with him all over again!
