one day... @ 5:04 PM

One year ago...
This boy I absolutely adore flew home to Tennessee (to see his family) and drove 8+ hours (after flying from Utah, can you say JETLAGGED?!) to a tiny little town called Buena Vista, in Virginia. He had a ring in his pocket and smile on his face--less than forty minutes after his arrival he took his (then) girlfriend around the little campus of Southern Virginia University to their "spot"... the one where they met exactly five years before and knelt down to ask her to be his forever. She said "yes!" and they both cried and laughed and enjoyed the moment together. It was an absolutely wonderful day and was the start of this beautiful thing that we've got, a little thing called love. The best day of my life! 
The ring that the boy gave me.  Picked it out himself. 
ps. Did I mention that the night Garrison proposed to me there were fireworks? Literally. Guess that's what happens when you get engaged on July 3rd. Best day of my life, ever. Engaged. Fireworks. Love.
