We're Engaged

After 8 years together, Ryan and I are engaged. On Thursday, February 11th, I came home at 8 pm after a long day at work and class. I walked into the house to find rose petals leading into the kitchen. The table had a delicious meal that Ryan had prepared as well as 8 beautiful red roses (symbolizes our 8 years together). Dinner was pretty typical with each of us talking about our day. At one point Ryan had mentioned that he was hot and I could see a little sweat building up on his forehead, but I didn't think too much of it. Once we finished eating, I volunteered to do the dishes and Ryan was quick to accept. He stood up to leave the dining room when he stopped and said, "What is this?" while bending down. When he rose, he had a little black box in his hand. I instantly was overwhelmed with emotion and began crying. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Since I could not speak I just hugged him tightly and cried. I couldn't believe that the day had finally come. After what felt like forever, I said "yes" and Ryan placed a gorgeous ring on my finger. Someone had asked me, "So who ended up doing the dishes?" Well, after calming down I jokingly told Ryan that I would do the dishes because I needed to practice being a "good wife." His reply was: "Great and when your done there is laundry to do."
