I know, the two exclamations points at the end of that is one too many. I can't help it, she wouldn't look at me. I know what you are thinking, "What is this fool talking about?" Well, I am about to tell you!

Hold on...

Hold on........

Wait for it..........

I know I shouldn't do stupid stuff like that but it is funny to me. 

     Anyway, as I was saying, she wouldn't look at me. Seriously, she wouldn't. I guess I better back up a bit to tell how we got to this point. So, Lisa and I began our relationship and I knew it was different. After a long month I decided to ask her to marry me. Yes, a month, that's what I said. Her birthday was coming up and I wanted to ask her then. I had to plan and plot quickly. I bought a ring, made my plans, and about had a nervous breakdown. After all, I had just turned 21 and here I was talking about getting married. This was crazy talk! Of course people told me to be sure about what I was doing and to me there was nothing I was more sure of. 

     I planned to have her a birthday party at my parents house. Decorations were up and the cake was out. All I needed there was Lisa. There we were with family, friends, and a thunderstorm. Go figure huh? I thought that this was going to be great, the night was going to be ruined by Mother Nature. I was completely wrong though. Everyone was gathered around the table and I was sweating profusely. Then the lights went out. I knew this shall not stand in my way. With the candles lit and it dark all around she opened her gifts one by one. She finally opened the card that was from me. I got down on one knee as she read it holding the little box in my hand. At the bottom of this card it read, "Will You Marry Me?"

I wanted anxiously for her response. (Here it is.) She wouldn't look at me! It seemed like an eternity that I waited next to her on one knee. Finally, my mother's patience drew to an end and she blurted out, "Well?" I guess this snapped her out of shock and to my surprise she said, "Yes!" My heart stopped and I almost fell over. I was in disbelief that she said yes to me. Everything went perfectly that night. Even the power outage gave it a romantic feel. I just wish she didn't scare me by not looking at me and giving me an answer right away. 

I do know now that this is a common trait of hers. She is not good at making snap decisions. You should see what happens at the drive through. She can't decide!
