TWO years ago.... yesterday

To carry on with the theme of "on this day"...  Two years ago yesterday, I got a ring on my finger!  Yep, Ben gave me an early birthday present of a diamond engagement ring!


(This is about "yesterday" because I just didn't get this finished yesterday!  It happened late at night-- so it's pretty much today too!)


The night began with grilling supper on an Iowa "beach," stargazing in the countryside, and a walk to VEISHEA.  On the way to campus, we took a detour.  Ben led me to an old abandoned rail road bridge.  I knew it then that it would happen. He had some friends set up a candlelit dessert picnic.  Then blah, blah, blah.... and he popped the question!


I didn't know it was going to happen that night... but I hoped it would!

The prepared surprise table!

Finally being able to tell Ben .... "I knew it was coming!" 
Ben's crazy eye is from getting a friend's knee to the face.... my crazy eyes are from 2 full minutes of sobbing!
