Scott and I had been dating for almost a 1 1/2 years. My birthday is on July 14th and I had just turned 21. I had asked him for a gift card for my birthday and we had gone to Tunica to the casino to ring in the big 21.
Scott had gone to Memphis to get my Victoria's Secret gift card and I had no clue that he had taken my roommate, Audra, with him to pick out the ring. Audra gives Scott all the credit in picking out the ring. (He did a great job!!) This all happened somewhere around July 11th.
The next Thursday he had a job interview in Little Rock and little did i know that he drove to Memphis after the interview to pick up the ring. On Friday night we went out to eat with his sister @ Jerry's (which to me is a pretty redneck place). Afterwards, we were going over to someones house to hang out and have a low key night. We stopped by his parents house, let his sister out and ran in to use the bathroom. I went upstairs to see what was taking him so long (and now I know I almost caught him red handed getting the ring out of the drawer). I sat down on his bed and he came over and said something like "I think I deserve kisses" (this is what I always say to him when I want a kiss). I kept saying "No, I don't think you do. You haven't done anything to deserve them." I have no idea what he said next, but the next thing I know he pulled out the ring and asked me to marry him. I think I said something like "For real? Is this thing real? You promise??" I eventually realized he wasn't kidding and said YES!!! Being only a week after my birthday, I had no idea it was going to happen. We had talked about marriage, but never a time frame. I still had a year of school left. There were no pictures taken, as I was totally unprepared for anything of this caliber to happen.
We were married on August 9, 2003 and will be celebrating 7 years this year!! It's amazing how time flies!
