So Laura and I aren't dating anymore. Here's the story:

Laura and I met in Greenville, SC on Friday. We went to books-a-million, then she took me out to eat at Jack in the Box, then I took her to the (very cool) Greenville Zoo. After that, we went to Reedy River Falls Historic Park - a really cool and romantic park right in the middle of downtown Greenville complete with waterfall and suspension bridge. We walked around there for a while, then found a nice little spot on a rock under a tree where we sat and talked.

I had some graduation presents for Laura, including a card, a zippo (just for kicks), a bluetooth headset, and the Kingdom Hearts II video game that she's been wanting for a while. Because I'm lazy and didn't wrap anything, I had her turn around while I pulled them all from my bag. Each time she would tell me I better not have anything else for her. Psh...like I would listen to that. :-P

Oh, here are some pictures of LJ at the park. Notice anything?



I had her turn around for one more present, but had some trouble pulling it out because it was in a pretty big box. I pulled out the present, got on my knee, and had her turn around as I said "Ok, here's your last graduation present, but you have to say 'yes' before you can have it. Laura, will you marry me?" Of course, she reaches for the ring before saying yes, but I stopped her...lol ^_^ She promptly said yes, and now we are engaged, which explains the first line of this post.

I tell ya, being engaged is a pretty weird feeling...you go from boyfriend to fiancee in an instant. Ah, but it's well worth it.

edit: Just to finish the story, we went to Sticky Fingers for supper. Laura felt bad because I bought her so much stuff, so she bought me dinner and tobacco. Isn't she SWEET! I have the best girlfriend er...fiancee in the WORLD!

Hope all of you had a weekend as eventful as mine! or not, whatever...;-P
