Dear internet,
Was there any doubt that when this moment in my life came, I’d want to shout it from the rooftops?
The short version: I got engaged last weekend!
For those of you who like proposal stories, ours is simple, but perfect in my eyes.
Last Tuesday, we got another vizsla puppy, Carson, adding to our little Dog Mom and Dog Dad family. Carson has a big brother in our 1 year-old vizsla, Cooper. We then spent the rest of the week up at Zach’s family cabin in North Georgia and drove back Sunday.
We unloaded the car and the pups. A little tired and still in my traveling clothes, I asked Zach how he felt about pizza and Stranger Things Season 3 for dinner. He was on board! Part of why I love him–I need a pro-pizza man.
But first, he said, he had to get a little work done.
So, he took Carson into his office with him under the pretense of seeing how well the new pup would behave while work was being done.
While I played with Cooper in the living room, he “worked” away.
But he finished this “work” very quickly.
He walked out with Carson in his arms, knelt in front of me, and said: “Cooper and Carson have something to ask you.”
The ring was affixed to Carson’s collar.
Of course, I said yes. I love that the special moment was just us and our pups.
Afterward, we sent a photo to his parents (who were also on the road home from Georgia, but left much later than we did).
I asked my parents to come over to have pizza and meet their new grandpup. When they arrived, we told them in person.
Everyone else followed after–I sent pictures out with the text message “Have I introduced you all to my FIANCE?!”
I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with this wonderful weirdo.
