So, as I was saying, this has taken me over a month to post. We made the pizza on a friday and that sunday I wanted to post our weekend success story but Corey so kindly informed me that he didn't want to spend the rest of his Sunday night blogging (it was about 9 pm). So I asked him what he'd rather do and he just responded, I don't know but I don't want to blog. So I put my computer away and almost promptly he pulled me to my feet and started dancing with me in the living room. I thought to myself, oh okay, so he wants to dance? Hmmm... We danced for a about a minute when we had the following conversation:
Me: I'm tired can we sit down now?
Corey: No
Me: Uh okay...? (apparently he wants to dance)
Corey: Want to know how I love you?
Me: Uh huh, sure (I used to always ask him this question so of course I was interested in the answer). Corey proceeds to tell me some sweet things and then tells me that he wrote a poem in his head the other day but he can't remember really what it said except...(back to the dialogue)
Corey: the part that I can remember says I'd walk all night to get to you and at the end of the poem there was a question.
Me: oh yeah, what was the question?
Corey: (dropping to one knee) Will you marry me?
Me: YES! (and then I see the ring he's holding up) Is this real?
I'm not sure if he laughed at me, probably, but he had just completely caught me by surprise...I had no idea he had a ring. To say the least, it was completely unexpected. It was unexpected for him as well, apparently he had something completely different in his mind and had some other plan but that ring must have been burning a whole in his pocket and he didn't know what else to do but give it to me as soon as possible ;o)
We celebrated Monday night. I came home to table full of flowers and a shoveled driveway (it snowed that day). And then he took me to this neat little restaurant that seemed like you'd stepped back in time to the days of castles, kings and seven course meals. It was some good food! Not to mention great company...Love you Corey!
Oh and for those of you who wanted to see my ring, I hope this picture will work...if not you'll just have to come and see me personally :o)

Wow! Congrats! That is a beautiful ring.
Oh, the post I have been waiting for!!! Congratulations (although there are a few typos/missing words throughout the post). I can't wait to meet Corey in a couple of months - or less! What a story for your grandkids...the proposal :)
Ah! I'm crying!!! Love it!!! And I adore your ring. (If I remember right, we tried some rings on years ago and the one you liked the most was very similar.) Happy day, Des.
Good job Corey. Your ring is beautiful Des. I wish I could come to the wedding. You need to make a visit to the Mid-west this summer. You can come after Becca moves b/c I know you like her more!
The pizza looks good, we'd like the recipe some time.
Love the engagement story too. I had to laugh at the comment of the ring burning a hole in his pocket. Reminds me of someone else I know except he had it in his pocket for a couple of days.
Oh, I love the ring too!
I diddo Crystal on the pizza. I have been waiting for this to be posted. :) Can't wait to come and see you. Good job Corey.
I am sooo excited for you Des! We had been waiting for the news since you two started dating--we had heard you were made for each other! I won't make it to the wedding but will be in Utah this summer and can't wait to see you and meet Cory. Again, CONGRATULATIONS!
We just heard the news from Ben. Congrats! He's a cutie!
