Our Engagement
November 25, 2006
As planned we were heading out to go Christmas Shopping. I didn’t want to go up to his apartment because it was cold outside and my car door was frozen shut. I complained a bit, but decided to go anyway. I was sitting in his living room watching The Food Network, enjoying the show—when he comes out of his room carrying some Jewelry cleaner. He came over to me and told me that my promise ring was looking tarnished and needed to be cleaned. I was kind of taken aback and slightly offended and was about to tell him about it, when he reached into his pocket, pulled out a ring box, and said, “OR you could clean this ring. Will you marry me?” Now I had just taken a bite of my granola bar, so I had a mouthful of food. I screamed a little, and of course said yes (otherwise what would be the point of this e-mail) and we both sat on the couch shaking and smiling ear to ear. We called our parents to share the news, cried a little, then headed out for our morning of Christmas Shopping.That is our story. Talk about a surprise!
Love,
Erin and Lawrence
