Let's Celebrate!

We met in science class when we were in high school. I was a freshman and he was a sophomore. He called me "fish". Always teasing me. I remember one time we had to do a wheelbarrow race down our hallway and he was my partner! That was what got our friendship moving forward, We were close friends that whole year. But, after that year ended we lost contact. Then with band camp starting again during summer we started talking to each other again and helped each other through a difficult time. We started hanging out all the time and both performed in band so we spent even more time together. We would spend hours and hours talking and laughing together day after day. And suddenly at a friends graduation party everything just clicked and he asked me to be his girlfriend soon after at an away football game. And from then on we have been inseparable. We have grown up together and have each gained best friends in each other.

Our last night at the coast we had gone out to dinner & then back to the room to get ready to go fishing. We left and got to the dock we had picked earlier that day. Well. We had been out there four almost two hours with me not catching a thing! And Jacob caught within that time two fish & a crab! So he turned to me and said "Alright. If you catch something, I'll marry you." To which you know I turned around and replied with "that's not right. You've been saying that for years!" And he just laughed and turned back around saying "guess you'll just have to catch a fish." It took me forever! But about an hour later I finally caught one! So I went to get my gloves from the tool box. I know what you're thinking but, I hate the way fish feel! So I take my fish off the hook and he is standing there helping. We release him quickly after checking him out. I go to set my gloves back down and I turned around and he had gotten down on his knee and had the ring in his hand. He had to ask twice because all I did was laugh! I was in disbelief!
