Christmas Eve 2016, plans are going as usual, with the intent of our family coming over to celebrate. I hate Christmas as the last nine years, I've wanted an engagement ring and never seem to ge that.

Dustin got up early and started cleaning the house like a mad man... I however laid in bed depressed until 1:00pm. He kept saying please get up and clean the house. I said our house isn't dirty, but he kept going and going. I finally got up and took a shower, hence the towel on my head. After I moped around, Dustin says let's open our gifts before my family comes over. First, he gives me a space heater wrapped in a lovely box. Second, he gave me perfume like I get every year. Lastly, he gives me a little box and I still have no idea. I personally think oh, its just earrings or something. My mom had told me that I was getting a couch the night before, so I didn't even suspect it.  I open and see the black box, still don't have any idea until Dustin starts talking... I don't look at the ring, but go straight into the fetal position and sobbing. He is had to ask me a few times if I was saying yes. I opened the actual box and started sobbing harder. I've never been so happy in my life. Little did I know, both of our families had planned to come over and celebrate our engagement because everyone knew except me!
