I'm Commin Out...I want the world to know :)

After lurking on this board everyday for the last year and being with you guys without posting..I can finally say I'M ENGAGED..lol..it happend on Friday, Aug 20th...it was the most magical day of my life..Gary and I met at the Oyster Fest in October 2002 and it was def love at first sight...I walked into Canteberrys and i saw him from across the room and my heart just like skipped 50 beats...thats another funny story but i'll save it for another time...from the moment we met we knew..we havent been a part since...but anyway..back to the engagement...i was so shocked...I get home from work and gary wasent home yet, (or so I thought) and we were supposed to have dinner with my dad but gary said he had to go to the printers so i get the mail and go inside and its all dark and there were all these candles lit and our song 'the promise' was blasting on the radio..so i was like what the hell is he trying to light the cats on fire or something..lol..so i creep into our room and he's on the bed crying and i started crying...I felt like the breath had left my body..all the candles were lit and he starts reading me this poem:

You'll never know
how much
your smile lights up the room
or your laughter fills my soul,

You'll never know
how much it means to me
when you do or say something
thoughtful and totally unexpected —

You'll never know
how much pride I hold in my heart
for the person you are and the things you do —
for your strength and your gentleness,
your courage and your determination,
your accomplishments and your dreams.

You'll never know
how much I need you by my side —
in the best of times and the worst of times
and all the times in between.

You'll never know
How I dream of you as my wife
Growing old with you
Sitting on our porch 50 years from now

You'll never know
How much I love you
