The bachlorette

I usually don't get sucked in by reality tv, but lastnight I made sure I caught the tail end of the Bachlorette. I haven't even watched the show this season, but my brother-in -law is religious about watching, so I was intrigued.
My husband had been downstairs for 3 hours with the furnace guy helping him clean and service our furnace. I was feeling a little brushed off because I have not spent more than 10 minutes of quality time with my husband since some time in June (or so it seems).
Finally around 10:30 Donnie comes upstairs to hang out for a few minutes and we are talking about the show. Some how we get on wedding proposals, and he tells me that he never proposed to his first wife. He said he bought her a ring for Christmas because he felt pressured after a 3 year relationship.
Wow! I guess I kinda knew that, but when he proposed to me, it was a complete surprise, he picked out the ring, he was on bended knee, and he was shaking like a leaf! He also told me he's always loved me, he just "didn't know it yet".
How lucky am I? I want to learn to always count my blessings. I am truly blessed.

HOW SWEET! I'm so very glad that you are so happy. I mean I didn't really know how your other relationships were, but I'm guessing not like this. You are both very lucky to have found each other!!

My proposal went something like this; oh wait, HE DIDN'T ASK ME TO MARRY HIM. He just gave me a ring...but I'm not bitter. really. Not. At. All. he's just lucky I love him ☺ ♥

Isn't it funny, right after this blog I got REALLY mad at him. That usually happens after I toot someones horn. He really is wonderful. I am very lucky. My other relationships pretty much sucked! I was a child in the first one, and I married a child in the second one. I guess third time is a charm. (with lots of prayer and work, that is)
And yes, Brian is very lucky;) He got a very cool chick when he got you.
