We can't wait to celebrate with you!

It was like any other day, Tom and I had our first day off together after a few months of mismatched schedules. We decided we wanted to spend it doing something, it didnt matter what it was, but we wanted to get out of the house. We decided to go to Naperville, get some lunch and walk around the downtown like we have done before. I was completely oblivious the whole day, we went about our day as planned and just before we were about to head home, Tom wanted to head down the Riverwalk. It was beautiful outside, 60 degrees and sunny! (and tom had a sweater and a winter coat on to hide the ring box, i cant believe i didnt pick up on the beads of sweat on his forehead) Most importantly, SO many people. Families… everywhere, getting that perfect picture for christmas cards. After walking all the way to the end of the trail and back, we get to a spot where its finally just us. I walk over to look at the water and I notice Tom isn’t beside me anymore. I turn around to find him down on one knee and to my surprise, he isn’t tying his shoes. My initial response was “uhh.. what are you doing?” To which his response was “im trying to propose to you!” The shock set in and I obviously cant turn away from the man I have always hoped for.
