The rest of predeployment leave went amazing. Spending all the time I could with him before he left was more than I could ever ask for. But there is one day that I want to relive over in my head alll over again.
Friday April 8, 2011.
Ky woke up early to get his haircut before our photoshoot later that afternoon. I woke up a little later to a text saying that coffee was in the kitchen for me. I went upstairs, had coffee and talked with his grandma for about an hour. I then got a phone call from him asking if I was dressed. I told him that I was in sweats and he told me to get changed because we were going to go up to Case Mountain becuase he knows I wanted to go up and he wanted to make sure we had time before he left. (Case Mountain is where we went on ur first date and since then we call it Our Mountain) Once he got home, his mom made us sandwiches and we headed to the moutain. Granted I almost DIED walking up because I haven't worked out in FOREVER! Anyways, we got up to the top and sat on the bench to have lunch. After our sandwiches and chips, he said he had dessert and gave me a box to open which was choclate covered strawberries. He had also pulled out chamagne to drink with it. After filling up on that, he asked me to dance- just like he had on our first date. After dancing and laughing and talking it was time to head back to the house to get ready for the photoshoot.
As we were standing there ready to leave, all I heard was "I love you very much". As i turn to tell him that I love him, he is down on one knee with a ring in his hand saying " Colleen Sarah Swan, will you spend the rest of your life with me?"
It is a moment that I will NEVER forget. I remember covering my mouth and asking if he was serious and someewhere in that time i yelled YYES. And of course I cried LIKE A BABY!
So predeployment leave is over and I have been doing good. Of course the day of and the day after we said goodbye was hard but I am so lucky that I have work to keep me busy. And nowww I get to plan a wedding! Ky and I will be sitting down tonight via skype and hopefully making a list of reception venues for me to look at!
So now this blog will not only be me complaining about him being away for seven months but It will also be my escape to vent about wedding planning!
GET READYYY!!
Until next time
<3 Colleen
