Engaged {in a whirl wind}

My boyfriend of 9 months proposed to me two weeks ago, on March 24th. He was perfect. He was sitting doing homework, and I was cuddling with my puppies... We actually have pictures of this (of course, it's me)!
He suddenly looked at me (at about 5:50pm) and said, "hey let's go get a drink!" I thought it was weird timing because i was getting ready to make dinner, but agreed. I called my sister and told her dinner would be late, she said he was just hanging out at our apartment. On our way downtown Ryan suddenly took a turn and said "oh that gazebo we went to on our first date is over here isn't it? Lets drive by!" (I started getting suspicious)... When he parked in front of the gazebo and got out I started getting nervous/excited, and I said "we're getting out?" He told me he wanted to take a picture together, which was weird because he doesn't like taking pictures normally! We walked up to the gazebo and talked, goofed off, took our picture. It was cold, and Ryan gave me his coat... Then he said "hey hand me what's in the pocket there..." I reached in... A RING BOX! And then he was down on his knee... "Lisa Clark, will you marry me?" Ahhhhhhh! :) happiest moment of my life thus far! Of course I said YES!

He had my sister hiding in the bushes taking pictures of the whole thing! It was perfect :) he did sooo good with the ring as well! I'm beyond blessed and happy!
