Wedding

So, we are attempting to plan things for the wedding. The tentative date is May 16th, 2009, but we have to wait for me to take some graduation exams and see how well I do on them to finalize our decision.

So, the proposal story:
For Fall break Mark and I, along with another couple Stitch(Eric) and Kristina, had planned a camping trip to Cumberland Gap. We were excited about it because Mark, Stitch, and I had all gone back in April, which is when and where Mark and I started dating. So, we were going on Thursday. The Wednesday before Stitch and I had made plans to go to Wal*Mart and get the food that we needed for the trip and to make the hobos that we'd be eating and to get all of the food together. Well, unbeknown st to me, Mark had called Stitch at about 2pm that afternoon and told him to make sure that I stayed busy and did not call him after church that night because he was leaving after church to drive down to Johnson City. So, Stitch is just playing the part, we take our time shopping in Wal*Mart, go by and pick up a cast iron skillet from our friend Kevin's house and we get back to the BCM where I live and started working on cutting up the potatoes and such for the hobos. We also picked up Kristina in the process.

So, we are cutting up the food and Stitch goes outside to load firewood into his Explorer that we planned to take on the trip. So, while he's out there Mark gets there and parks away from the building. Apparently, they had also been texting the entire evening as well. So, I came out one and Stitch was missing, but I just thought he was getting more firewood, so I went back in. Come back out and he needs my flash light so I go get it and come back. Well, finally we get done getting everything and I cut out all the lights in the building and head up to my room. I'm not there 5 minutes when I get a text from Mark saying that he wants to see me. So, I sit up and look online and he's not there (we talk on webcam) so I texted him back and told him I couldn't talk to him if he wasn't online, to which he responded that maybe I should try my window. With that text he started singing to me "Wonderful Tonight" which is the first song he ever played and sang to me. So, I'm freaking out and so happy to see him, and I run out to the front of the building to meet him, and when he gets around the building to where I was he dropped to one knee and asked me to marry him. :) It was amazing. Then we spend most of the night walking around talking and then at Waffle House where he was telling me all the things that had happened the past few weeks that he wasn't able to tell me about :)

So, I'm extremely happy and looking forward to planning our wedding. :)
