after 16 years he still makes me laugh

we celebrated another anniversary last week.  and like every anniversary, i can't help but think about his proposal.

brian came up to my apartment, with a ring box tucked in his sock.  he didn't know where to stick it...he thought his pocket was too obvious, so in the sock it went.

he hadn't planned much after that.  when?  where?  how?  i guess he figured he would propose when the time seemed right.

i went into my room to try on a new shirt i bought that day and brian waited out in the bathroom area of my apartment while i changed.  in hindsight, he may not have situated himself in the bathroom, seeing as that was the spot where a piece of our history was made.

but that is where he was, in the bathroom, leaning up against the vanity, when he realized the ring box was digging in to his leg and he had to pull it out of his sock. 

so the ring came out of hiding and i, of course, said "yes." 

i even cried, just a little and then i laughed.

(we can't tuck in our grins!)
