Duskin had dropped
hints that he was going to be asking soon. We were going to Thatcher for the
weekend for my sister Jessica’s graduation and I was
so sure that this was going to be the weekend he was going to ask my dad and
because he had told me he was going to get the ring the following weekend with
his mom. Well the Wednesday before he had asked me (May 8th) we were supposed
to hang out. Well Duskin had text me and told me that he was going to have to
work late because Marcus (his brother in law/boss) needed him to do a few
things and that we weren’t going to be able to hang out that night. I
was so sad! I then called my mom and was just talking to her about him being at
work and how I missed him and needed someone to talk to. At the time she was
acting kind of weird about it by saying I’m sure everything is
fine and he just had a lot to do. I wasn’t worried that he wasn’t
at work so I wasn’t sure why my mom was saying all that but I
thought nothing of it really. Well Friday had come and that was when we were
going to be going to Thatcher. I had gotten off late from work and Duskin was
waiting at my house so that we could leave as soon as we could so we wouldn’t
be late for the graduation. I got home and hurried and put my stuff together
and changed and was about ready to go. I told Duskin I was all ready to go and
he looked and me and walked me back into my room and told me that we needed to
talk. So we sat on my bed and he looked at me with a sad look on his face and I
had no idea what was going on. He then said “you know how I told
you I had to work on Wednesday night?” I answered yeah. He
looked at me and said well “I wasn’t
working…”
I just looked and him and all that was going through my mind was ‘Great!
Where the heck were you!’ I then answered “alright
well where were you then!?” He then just looked
at me for a minute with the most serious face and said “well…I went and talked to
your dad.” And he started to get a little smile on his
face. All that was going through my mind was ‘Ha! Ya right! That’s
a two and a half hour drive just to get there! There is no way you drove all
the way there and back in one night just to talk to my dad when we are going to
see him tonight!’ I just looked at him and laughed “no
you didn’t!” He looked at me
surprised and was all “yes I did!” I then said again “no
you didn’t!” He then smiling and
completely serious said “Yes I did.” I then just smiled
and looked at him. We both just sat there for a minute staring at each other,
with me thinking ‘alright so now what.’
Because he just sat there for a minute and didn’t do anything. But
then he got down on one knee completely nervous and blushing and pulled out a
ring box from his pocket and asked “Emery, will you marry
me?” I was so surprised and just answered “are
you serious?!” Duskin looked at me like uh duh. I then very
excitedly answered “YES!!”
And that was one of the best questions
I have ever answered!! I love him so much!
Here are a few of our
engagment pictures.
