I'm Engaged!

So my #1 Christmas wish came true, I got engaged. He surprised me too. I was thinking maybe he would ask me at Christmas, but wasn't sure. He made the day like any normal day and it took me by surprise. We went to church and then went out to eat for lunch at Cotton Patch. I wasn't thinking anything since we didn't go somewhere special but little did I know what would happen later that day. By the way I was reminded later that was where we had our first date and that's why we went there. Anyways, so then after lunch he was driving me back to my house and then I saw his parents car at my house. I said "what are they doing here". He, of course acted like he had no idea. I walked in and was wondering what everyone was doing. Then Karson took out a Christmas bag and said he was going to give me part of my Christmas early. Me still clueless was thinking ok, it coudln't be a ring. Then he took out a box and then got on one knee, and asked me to marry him. I was speechless, me the one who always talks. I was like what? are you serious? I don't believe it. I think I finally said yes after a few minutes. I was in total shock. He asked me in front of our families and it was special and that way they could also take pictures. The ring is beautiful and he picked it out all by himself. He did a great job. I think it would be a challenge to surprise me after dating for so long, but he did and it was awesome. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him, we are truly blessed.
My ring!
