my proposal. thought I would share.
So… may 28th is my soberdate. and It’s been 2 years. and I wanted it to be special, and I was set to recieve a 2 year pin on the friday following my official date. which would be the 30th, so I thought while at work wouldn’t it be neat to propose to my wonderful girlfriend ashley at my celebration. so I devised a plan and carried it out in 2 days, asking hints of this and that, so after work friday I went to get my check cashed it and then went and bought a ring, a very nice yet simple white gold with a small rock, the box was so big I had no idea how I was going to sneak it into the meeting with out ash seeing, oh one of the funny things about all this and of course god’s work, is when I went to get the ring I touched the heart of the woman that sold the ring to me, turns out her brother is a recovering alcoholic, and I’ve been needing a sponser here so she gave his number to me. I still havn’t called him I should get to that now that I’m thinkin about it, heh, anyway so that was kinda neat, so back to how do I sneak it in, well my bud ryan was going to be going to the meeting with me and so I stopped at his house before the meeting and I was sneaky about getting the ring into the house I slipped it into the pocket of this short sleeve shirt that I had along, ash just figured I was putting she shirt on. unknown to her the ring was in the pocket, so I got in the house and I said dude take this and hold it I’ll sold my hand out when I’m ready for it, hehehehe the box was so BIG he didn’t know how he’d do it, I said dude just toss it in your pocket you won’t even see it, I was right, so on to the meeting, it was nice to see ppl I hadn’t seen in a month, they were happy to see me. I also got the camel that grace promised me., the camel represents an alcoholic. in the morning the camel kneels so the master can put the back pack on, and kneels at the end of the day so the master can take it off, in the morning we ask the lord to guide us with out drink and at the end of the day we thank him for the day without drink.
anyway. so we did the greeting, and had the chip talk and my time came up to take my pin, and I said a small speach saying this would not be possible if it wasn’t for sobriety, i’d still be 263 with a 44 waist, I’d still be living a waisted worthless life, and with the turn around of being sober I’ve done this and done that, and now I’m out of state and in with my awesomely beautiful baby ashley, and I held my hand out and took a knee in front of her my mom my bud ryan and my ex sis n law becky, and 30 other people. and said ash’s name and help the ring out, I thought she was going to cry! my mom did instantly, I suprised the lot of them. was a good feeling, OF course, she said yes! hehe. =)
well that’s my story, comment if you like, thanks for reading. Peace! =)
