Not So Ordinary Day

Yesterday, after moving a bunch of our crap back from Newport News, and running a bunch of errands, Woody and I took a walk with our dogs out to Calais field on a gorgeous afternoon. Calais is a beautiful place - you've seen a handful of pictures of it trough the last few years if you've been following this blog for long or if you're my friend on Facebook. It is property that belongs to the barn where I grew up riding and is right down the street from where my parents live. It is one of my favorite places in the world.

Anyway- I donned my new glasses and and a tie-dye t shirt and we went off- Phoebe without a leash and Rusty kept closely tethered because we just don't trust him. It was hot so we stopped at a coop for a minute.

You should know that when Woody and I started dating, he didn't make plans in advance. He didn't think about the future and refused to commit to anything that happened more than 2 weeks away.

So I was sitting there, watching Rusty dig a hole to sit in, and Woody said, "Remember when I couldn't plan for anything more than 2 weeks ahead?" and then he got down on one knee and told me how now he couldn't stop planning a future with me. And he pulled out this ring and asked me to marry him and we both were crying and of course I said yes.

So I'm engaged. :)
