Ben called me to ask if I would join him for a walk in the park that we frequented often while living in Tulsa, OK. As we drove to the park we rolled our windows down to enjoy the fresh air as we usually do.
We park the car and Ben pulls out a blanket and his guitar. At that time, he hadn't really played much around me, but I remember begging him often to play for me. So as he pulls it out, he shoots me the smile that I fell in love with.
Walking hand in hand, we pick a spot on a hill overlooking the Arkansas River.
Acoustic sounds fill the air.
Then I hear his soft voice:
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have's come true!
And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you, here with me...
He was SINGING to me!! It was so sweet that my eyes get a little watery as I remember the shock.
He finishes the song and smiles again. I'm getting a little suspicious....
But he puts his guitar away and he asks me to walk with him. ok
We walk along the trail that winds through the small hills along the Arkansas River and down under a bridge right down to the river.
I'm waiting...
He picks up some stones and starts skipping rocks along the smooth surface on the murky water....
Still waiting...
He looks so calm as he picks up another stone and challenges me to a rock skipping contest. I look around for a flat smooth rock...and its on! All suspicions tossed to the wind.
He turns and gives me the biggest Benny-hug. As he pulls away, all of a sudden there's a box between him and I with the most beautiful ring I have ever seen!
He smiles sheepishly...and asks me to spend the rest of my life with him.
And then we went to Red Robin...yummm! haha True story :)
