Memory

Today I must think of my favorite memory. Hmmm... I have lots of great memories... But I think this one tops it off.

My boyfriend and I were going to the snow. We had planned this pretty much ever since we had met, as we both love exploring the great outdoors. We took two friends along, too!

After almost killing the car getting up the hill, we explored and went tobogganing... Did I mention that it was a really nice sunny day? In fact, it wasn't even cold! I ended up taking my big jacket off!

After lunch we went exploring again. We started walking up the hill as my boyfriend told us all how much he loved this place. Then suddenly he needed to go to the toilet. So off he went, and the rest of us walked further up the hill.

While waiting, we started to make a snowman! My friends were saying that we should go and look for my boyfriend, but I insisted we keep working on the snowman. We added a few sticks for hair, eyes and a mouth. Then I decided to put my hat, scarf and glasses on it. My friends were now begging for us to go and find my boyfriend. But I insisted that the snowman needed hair. Little did I know that at the time my boyfriend was anxiously waiting for me just a little way down the hill.

Finally we started walking back. I was kind of surprised to find my boyfriend just standing there. I ran over to him and gave him a cuddle and started telling him about our snowman.

Suddenly, my boyfriend started talking about how he loved me, and how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. Instantly I knew what he was asking. My friends got their cameras out and started filming this happening - they knew exactly what was going on!

Then he dropped to one knee, pulled out a little box and asked:

"Will you marry me?"

To which I definitely said YES!

He then put a beautiful ring on my finger, and I asked if he had asked my Mother! 

We then went on to get married 9 months later... And then again 3 months after that! (yes, married twice! In Australia and Indonesia!)

And although I could have chosen my wedding day as the most favorite memory, I think this was more spontaneous. The wedding, I planned. This I didn't.
