**my favourite card**

This is the most amazing card i have ever received! Wednesday night when Brandon came up for Thanksgiving...he gave me this card and said it was for my birthday. He was feeling really bad because he didn't get me a card for my birthday...but i got to spend the entire day with him...and the rest of that week! That was better than getting a plain card!

But this card...is extra special...this is the way Brandon proposed to me! Absolutley amazing, shocking, and special! He bought the ring and then brain-stormed with his parents of how to ask me and when he decided to make me a little scrapbook, he and his mom went to the scrapbook store and bought supplies! Then he made this little scrapbook all by himself...and tied the ring on the last page with a little piece of ribbon! i can tell he put much thought into the scrapbook...he had a picture of his hand signing "i love you" on the front, excerpts of love songs from *country* artists, and used the colours we are thinking about using for our wedding! He did a great job picking out the supplies too...rub-ons (which he said were hard little buggers to use!), special sticker letters, buttons (my favourite to use) although he confessed he used hot glue!

When he gave me the card...i had no idea that there was going to be a ring on the last page! Brandon said my face expressed much surprise when i turned to the last page and read "will you marry me?" and saw the ring! My eyes filled with tears...happy tears...i was so incredibly happy (and surprised!). And of course i said yes...and then Brandon put the ring on my finger!
