I had a whole idea that I had drawn out in my mind of this whole elaborate plan. I'll go ahead and tell you now- it did not go as planned. I remember anxiously/excitedly waiting for the ring to arrive, I checked the tracking on it every day and was counting down to what felt like the second until it arrived. In my mind, my whole plan was in place and once I got the ring I would set it in motion. BUT, once I held it in my hand for the first time, the only thing I wanted and all I could think about was being engaged to my best friend and the most amazing girl I have ever known. It was all I could think about as the ring burned a hole in my pocket... I could not wait to become the luckiest man on this earth. I held out as long as I could, but eventually I gave in. Meaning.. I made dinner and waited for Katie to get home the same day I received the ring. Then, I asked the single most important question of my life and she said yes. So my elaborate plan didn't necessarily come to fruition, but I can say without a doubt that nothing has ever made me happier or more excited than simply asking the most incredible girl to be my wife. -Hayden
