We had spent all this time learning about each other on our phones.  After about 3 weeks chatting on the dating app he deleted his account which was darling and cute but it meant we lost all of our first correspondence which always made me sad and then right before Christmas I updated my phone and lost all of our text messages.  I mentioned before what a wonderful text-er he is and I was so sad to lose some of the amazing things he had written.

New Years eve (technically new years day) after we got back to my house and put my little one to sleep he told me he had one more present for me and I proceeded to open up this big Shutterfly book of 100 pages of all of our text messages and pictures.  He had screen shot all of them from his phone and transferred it to this book.  So we flipped through them and ohh’d and ahh’d about old memories and some of the first ones or some funny times and I was kind of done cause it is 100 pages and I didn’t think I was suppose to look through all of them but he took the book and flipped to the last page where is had this really nice message about how much he loved me and when I looked up he was on his knee with a ring.

I was completely shocked and surprised because although we had talked about being together forever we had never talked about rings except one time I told him there was NO way he should try to pick out a ring without my input!  So I had assumed it wasn’t on the horizon. It was kind of perfect and now we have this wonderful coffee table book of our love.
