Getting engaged had to have been the most wonderful experience I've endured in my life so far. It happened January 25, 2009 at 8:58 pm. It was a normal Sunday evening, my boyfriend and I were watching TV and playing with our puppy Coach. I had been begging Darryl to give me hints on my anniversary gift since it was fast approaching on the 1st of February.

He decided that we would play a game. Not just any game but a game where I had to solve riddles. He explained for each riddle I got right, it would knock off a day and the sooner I would get my gift. Well me being overly excited I accepted the deal and went about solving these hard riddles. There were two out of the seven that I was stuck on. I started to become really frustrated at the thought of not answering these riddles because I wanted my gift. It took me over two hours to figure it out. I was beyond excited. I had no clue what I was about to get but I knew it had to be good. Darryl told me to hold tight and sit on the couch with the puppy, so I was sitting there for several minutes wondering what was going on.

All of a sudden I hear him falling and screaming. I thought to myself "Oh NOOOOO" I got up running through the apartment to see if he was ok because by the sound of it, it wasn't good. When I turned the corner Darryl was on his knee with a ring box in his hand. I couldn't do anything but smile. I could hardly hear him ask me because I was beyond shocked and amazed at the beauty of the ring.

After he placed the ring on my finger I started screaming and running up and down the hallway of our apartment trying to figure out who I was going to call. I will never forget the day that my fiancé asked me to marry him.
