Its Official, I am ENGAGED!!!

Brace yourselves people, you heard me, I am ENGAGED. Thats right I took the final step and declared my undying eternal love to the love of my life, Hillary. I also happened to  ask her whether she would be interested in spending the rest of her life with me, and she said yes!!!

What can I say, when you know that you have met the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with, you simply know. Its is a feeling that can not describe, its a feeling stronger than love, for it is true love. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that she is the one that i was destined to seek out, the missing half of my soul that i am to spend the rest of my life with. And i have found her. So this is basically how it went down… Sometime last week, I got a friend of mine (lets call her “D”) to call up Hillary and tell her that she is having a fancy dress up  dinner and that when she comes to Craig, she should bring something fancy to wear. As the week went by Hillary would constantly ask me why “D” was having this fancy dinner and my responses would always be very short and i would then immediately change the topic of conversation to something else. Finally the weekend arrived, on the Friday when running around town with Hillary we ran into “D”. Girls being girls, Hillary asked her what she would be wearing and “D” hesitated!!! And answered ‘earrings and a dress’, immediately i saw the expression on Hillary’s face and knew that she knew that something might be up. But wait!!! It gets worse, so we are at home, we get all dressed up for our ‘Fancy Dinner Party’, catch a taxi to the centre of town and who do we run into, but another friend of mine, lets call him “J” whom is also meant to be attending the dinner. Now keep in mind that it is 15 minutes before ‘every one’ is meant to meet up at the restaurant. So “J” comes up to us says hi and proceeds to tell us how he is now going home to cook him self dinner!!! Cook him self dinner!!! What was he thinking, so I quickly dragged Hillary away from him and headed off in the direction of the restaurant. On the way she proceeded to ask, how come “J” was not dressed up for the dinner, my answer; I dont know he must be going home to change, which was followed by, how come he is going home to eat, my response; he is on special hi carb diet. It was now definitely starting to look a bit suspicious but this did not get me down. We eventually reached the restaurant. I had a reserved a table for us at Villandry in Jerusalem. As soon as we walked in, I greeted the waiter by saying, ‘Hi I have a reservation for two’. From then on Hillary was full of smiles as she knew something was happening. Once the waiter had taken our orders, I got up from my chair, walked over to her, got down on one knee, took her had and proposed my love for her and asked her for her hand in marriage, to which she replied yes. The joy and excitement that was running through my veins was simply indescribable.

The manager of the restaurant also saw the proposal and as soon as he did ordered the waiter to bring us champagne on the house.

So we already have a wedding date set for August the 19th 2010 in Israel. What can I say but I love her more than anything in this world and cant wait to spend the rest of my life with her.
