| overnight engagement 11.01.02 |
| The one-year anniversary of this site is coming up! Wow, so fast and so much has happened since then! It�s been a great year though. So last night, I got engaged!! Well not really, but sort of�in a dream. I have always had vivid dreams but especially after doing a paper on dreams for a psychology class, I was able to have a better memory of my dreams. I am always one to be telling people, �Listen to this dream that I had last night�� and I can recount the dream with details as if it really happened. In real life, a friend of mine had e-mailed me and also my parents asking if we thought that M. was going to propose to me in Europe in April. I thought that was a riot and knew that was just part of my friend�s oddities to ask something like that. I told M. about it in our phone conversation last night�soon after the phone call, I went to sleep and drifted off into dreamland� [Wayne�s World-type transition into dream sequence] M. and I were outside somewhere�not sure if there were other people around us. I told him about what K. had e-mailed me about him proposing in Europe. M. then said, �Well, since it wouldn�t be a surprise anymore, I might as well ask you now�� Then he got down on one knee and held out this little box and asked, �Will you marry me?� Immediately I hugged him really hard and said, �OF COURSE!!� We looked at the ring and it was just like what I pictured my wedding ring to be like�I don�t want a big rock but would prefer something simple like a matted silver band with a few inlaid diamonds...and this one was just like that. Another part of the ring had a red heart made with tiny rubies (NOT want I want), but hey, this is just a dream. It was kind of cheesy but I was like oh how cool! I assume this all took place in Brazil because then the dream jumped to me waking up in my bed in the current apartment, thinking how surprised everyone would be to see me return engaged, with a ring on my finger. I woke up (in real life) amused, but also a little giddy. Heheh� * * * * * * * * * My best friend wrote in her blog (her 10.31.02 entry) about some high school memories of us at youth conferences and that time period in general. It was fun to read that because I totally remember all those things she was talking about. She mostly mentioned this video that someone had taken with their videocamera of random experiences during that weekend�playing around in the hotel, stuff from the conference, itself. It makes me kind of sad to think that we will not have times like that again. Argh, I hate being such a sentimental sap. Getting nostalgic is a weakness of mine. Yet I am encouraged that these friends, especially my best friend, will always be around. I really don�t doubt that. And just like we have had memories together the past 24 years, we continue to make new ones in the years ahead. |
