FALLING FOR HIM©
Michael
and I met in a composition class in our sophomore year of college. We struck up a conversation one afternoon as
we were walking out of the classroom and continued talking until we reached my
dorm. He asked if he could take me out
for coffee later and I told him I'd like that.
Our
relationship just "felt right" from the very beginning, and we knew
that we were meant to be together.
Michael
and I had been dating for a little over a year when we began talking about
moving in together. I had discussed the
idea with my parents and they weren't too crazy about it. They hadn't said "absolutely not young
lady" as I had expected though, so I moved forward with my plan to move
in.
The
Saturday we had chosen to move was a chilly Fall day with multi-colored leaves
blowing everywhere. Fall is my favorite
time of year and I couldn't wait to get moved into our little apartment so we
could decorate with all the seasonal colors.
As I
trudged up the steps with a full armload of clothes I looked up to see that
Michael had already hung a beautiful wreath made of red & gold leaves on
our door. It was big and thick and had
pine cones scattered around it. I
wondered who had made it.
Pushing
open the door with my foot I walked in and complimented Michael on the wreath
as I dropped my pile of clothes on the couch.
"Who made that Michael? It's beautiful."
"Believe
it or not, I did . . . with a little help from your Mom" was his
reply.
"My
Mom?" I walked back out to take a
closer look with Michael on my heels.
The significance of the wreath on our door was much more apparent when I
had a chance to look more closely. Hanging
from a red ribbon in the center was a diamond engagement ring with a note
attached to it.
In my
Mom's writing, the note read:
"Honey, do you think we would've let you move in there if we hadn't
known Michael was going to propose. Now,
give the poor boy his answer! Love,
Mom"
Michael
had a huge smile on his face as if he knew exactly what my answer would be, and
he was right. I gave him a great big
"yes"!
Drop by and let us help
you be her HERO!
