Day Three - the engagement 1 & 2

Living together was more than I had imagined...it was like a dream...I couldn't believe how comfortable I felt with you there, knowing you for only a short while, and sharing a 12 x 12 room and not getting in each other's way or on each other's nerves. It was a kind of bliss! A few months in and we had spent a Saturday sanding the deck with Omar, having a BBQ and having many beers! Later that night Omar fell asleep on our bed so we moved ourselves to the garage to listen to music and talk...you and me and the music. We talked for hours about so many things...there was no doubt I had fallen for you. And right then, when I was thinking that very thought, you got down on one knee, took my hand in yours, and asked me if I would marry you...I was so surprised! I hadn't seen it coming. But, I was so very happy - that moment made me realize your heart - it made me the happiest I had ever been. And of course I said YES!!!! We shared in tears and laughter in that moment...I could not believe it was happening, at a time in my life when everything had been going wrong, you had come along and turned it all around...and now, you wanted to share a life with me...it was way too awesome!
When Omar awoke and joined us in the garage, we told him the good news...I don't know who was more happy, us or him! It was a moment I could not forget even if I tried.
But, it wasn't until much later that year, on December 24th to be exact, that it was made official. We were invited to spend the holidays with Omar at his apartment downtown.  Omar was having a Christmas Eve party for all of the friend who had no family to celebrate with.  Do you remember?
It was approaching midnight and everyone exchanged 'Merry Christmas' wishes...I took your hand and led you out of the living room, into the bedroom...and with Omar as a witness, I gave you your gift to open. I remember the surprise and shock in your eyes when you saw the rings.  Even Omar cried.  And infront of all the friends gathered, we announced our official engagement...December 25th, 2009! This was my 3rd day with you, and so glad was I to have met the most incredible guy ever!
