It’s Finally Happening!

We met at Taco Bell, where we worked at the time (I know super romantic). After being friends for almost 3 years, we decided to start dating. The years seemed to fly by and before we knew it, we were together for 5 years. At this point we knew we were going to get married, it was just a matter of when. One day, I came home from work and he told me we were going to go up to Traverse City for a weekend. He made all the plans. At first this seemed odd but, I told myself that he was just being sweet. We were only a few weeks away from the trip and I just start getting these weird feelings, and that tiny voice in the back of my head was screaming "oh my god, it's finally happening!!!" I told my co- worker about everything and she said “you’re going to come back engaged!” The day arrived for us to leave, and I was so excited. We always wanted to go up to Traverse City together but, it just never seemed to work out. As we were driving the 4 hours up north, I was trying to hush the voice in my head that was fueled by my co-worker. I was trying to convince myself I would not come home engaged, so that if it didn't happen I wouldn't be upset. By the time we got to Empire Bluff, I had did just that. I convinced myself that this was just a trip for us to get away & nothing out of the ordinary was going to happen. We grabbed our stuff and walked the trail up. I was completely blown away and in complete awe of my surroundings. As we were taking it all in, Jeff hands me an envelope and tells me to read it. My heart started beating faster and my stomach dropped. I started shaking and asking " what is this? what's happening?" to which Jeff replied "Just read it" I read it and it was the sweetest letter I have ever received. At the end of the letter, at the very bottom it was signed "love your fiance?" and when I looked up he was on one knee with the ring in his hand. Now after being engaged for 2 years we are so excited to start this next chapter of our lives together ❤️
