On that night that Michael proposed, he specifically asked that we just spend some happy time together with each other and with my family...and so, would I mind leaving my cell phone at home?
This I was happy to do, but the next morning, as soon as my eyes opened, I couldn't wait any longer to tell my friends. I would have called them all if I could, but I knew that everybody was getting ready to go to work.
So, I chose to send my nearest and dearest a quick text, promising to send details later. :)
