Jenny, this picture is for you. For some reason when there is a camera out...I put on this shirt. It is just a fact of nature that no one in this world can explain! I promise I have other shirts...other airbrush shirts!I am so excited right now, I can hardly type. Every time I try to spell a word my ring catches my attention and I can hardly keep focused on updating this blog of mine! Yesterday, May 13, 2009 I became engaged to Brian Robert Stamper! This is how it happened...
Background information: I have been training so hard for this W league team I am playing for in Tampa. I have been absolutely exhausted every single night for the past 3 weeks. My coach told me he appreciates all the traveling I have done but would rather me take today off and have my legs recover. I was so excited to have the night off!
Brian came to pick me up for my lunch break. Of course, I was taking my sweet time in meeting him outside, getting out of the car, and making my way up the driveway. Poor thing...his heart was probably jumping out of his chest! I opened up the door to my apartment and on the way up the stairs was 3 colorful notes, they said (1)Ashley (2)Marie (3)Eason. I was so confused. Of course, Brian was playing it off like he had no idea what was going on. When I got up stairs, I heard music playing. You guessed it, I was further confused. When I walked into my room there were 3 more notes on my bed that said (1)Will (2)You (3)Marry Me? When I turned around, Brian was on one knee and he had a box in his hand that I was very interested in ha ha! It took me a moment to realize he was actually proposing to me...this was actually happening.
He said the most amazing words to me. I felt like I was in a dream. He said something to the effect of him wanting to propose in the place where we would make our home and anywhere with me was the right place for him! It was so much sweeter than that and it really fit nicely in his choice of location but I was crying so many tears of happiness it is difficult to re-explain. After I said YES, he slipped my beautiful ring on my finger!
I went back to LHP where everyone had already known! I knew people were a little strange this morning! But Brian definitely accomplished the impossible...he completely surprised me!! This is the first step in a long life with him. I feel so lucky and honored to be his fiance. I can not wait to live out our future and best of all be with my best bud for the rest of my life! I'm loving this feeling!!

ReplyDeleteIf only you were wearing the shirt when it actually happened, that would be something special. I am so happy for you guys. The Ferguson fam may need to take a trip to see you guys! I can't wait to meet him. You are no longer allowed to say always the bridesmaid never the bride! Love you
