On a rainy Saturday morning on Febraruy 15, 2014 Valentine's Day weekend, I was awaiting his arrival home from work so we can go to the mall. I was kind of mad at him for no apparent reason, he brushed it off and did not pay me and my attitude no attention. As time progressed at the mall we headed back home with the kids after spoiling them all day. I was cold from the rainy day so I had put on a plushy robe over my clothes that I had just purchased from the mall. Slowly he walked up to me to untie my robe on bended knees, pulled out a box with a ring and said baby, " I love you.... you are my heart, I want to spend the rest of my life with you and will you marry me?" I was shocked with my mouth open the whole time and shouted out "Yes! I will marry you and gave him a big hug and kiss. I fell in love with my ring and him all over again...

I remember this day like it was yesterday. I was nervous the whole day due to me knowing I was going to pop the question and I did not know what her response was going to be. It was a Saturday that I was off from work, a day that we always spend the day together at the mall for quality time with our children. Later in the evening we came home and as she was getting settled with the kids, I was getting my thoughts, words and emotions in check. She had on a robe that was fluffy. I did not want her in the robe while I was on bended knees I gently removed her robe and leaving her with her clothes she had on all day. I looked her in the eyes, got on my knees and told her that I love her and that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her and will she marry me. She was shocked and excitedly responded yes. My nervousness instantly left my body as she gave me a hug and a kiss. On August 10, 2017 my queen will be more than my best friend as we take our relationship to a higher level of her being my wife.
