10 Years is a Long Time
10 years ago today, I dropped down to one knee and took a chance. I took a chance on a girl who I had always thought was too good for me, was too out of my league, was too street smart, too beautiful, too amazing to ever be with a guy like me.
I dropped to one knee in the middle of a forest in North Carolina and struggled to get the ring out of my camera bag. She struggled to see that I was proposing to her. She thought that I had fallen or that I dropped something so she immediately tried to help me up. It took her 3 more seconds to realize what was going on.
I finally got the ring out, and asked her to marry me.
I had no idea what I was getting myself into, had no idea what it was for, no idea what it really meant.
I never thought it would be this amazing.
