THE ENGAGMENT - November 11, 2006

By: Tauna Coombs

The day started when my sister, Melissa took me shopping for clothes. She told me it was so I could have something nice to wear to take some sister pictures. I agreed since Kent told me that he was going to help a friend out with a project. We got already and headed to our parents house to get some spending money. We had lunch and went shopping. Once I tried on many cloths and shoes we went back to our parent's house to show off the new outfits. I picked an outfit to wear for the pictures and Melissa put makeup on me. Then we went to our place to do the pictures. When we got there our roommate, Lisa, told us she found a puppy and was asking what we should do with it, just so I would go outside. There I found not a puppy but an all-dressed-up Kent sitting at a candle-lit table waiting for me. He got up, pulled out my chair and went back to his seat. He told me how much he loved me, that he is lucky to have me in his life, and that I am very special person. He then got up came to me and knelt down on one knee and asked the question
WILL YOU MARRY ME? The feeling I had was overwhelming. Of course I said YES to someone that I love dearly. I did have a few spies that were hoping I would say yes. The night continued with dinner from Applebee's that was served by another sister, Jessica. The night was wonderful. The back porch was decorated very nice and elegant: with white Christmas lights hanging on the ceiling, rose petals on the ground, the table covered in a white tablecloth with two candles burning and a vase of pretty red roses. Later on I found out that he was preparing all day for that night. The plan was almost blown when he was watching TV at my parent's house when we stopped by the first time. My family said that was the first time they have seen him run that fast.
