The Night We Got Engaged Part 1

By EstherIrish, on February 1st, 2011%

It was the Friday night after Valentine’s Day, and we had a date.  This was perfect.  (I have always thought it cheesy when men proposed on a holiday or birthday.  First of all, it would be expected, and second of all, it seems like an excuse to buy only one gift.  So the fact that . . . → Read More: The Night We Got Engaged Part 1
