Senior lifeskills class

Okay, so I was proposed to. But, don't get scared.....it is for my Senior lifeskills class. Every year the Seniors have to pretend they are getting married to someone else, and we study about marriage. Right now we are in the engaged stage. Everybody had their own engagement story. Mine was pretty good, although I expect a lot more when the real thing happens. I was working in the business office, and a fellow classmate came in to pay for their graduation cap and gown. Then,after that was done there was some realy silence. I knew something was going to happen."Will you Marry me?, he asked. I said yes, it was kind of awkward. He also gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and a vase to go with it.This person has been a close friend of mine, but nothing more than a friend. I am happy to say I have made it through high school without a boyfriend, and I think that is a real accomplishment. I'm saving my time and energy for the one who I will marry, not for someone who I know I would soon break up with with. High school, in my opinion is not a good time to date. It is good time for friendships.The reasons, I didn't date was because I was focused on getting good grades in my classes, and there is a lot of immaturity in academy, and not everybody holds the same values and standards that I have. Some of my friends who have dated and broken up with their boy friends, now carry guilt and hurt from their relationships. They said," Now I have lost my best friend." I know I am not ready to get married now, I need 4 or 5 more years.I am looking forward to my real wedding day, when I will marry the right person that God brings into my life. May you have a blessed week!

Congratulations!
Just kidding. ;-)
Haha, that's a funny story. You know, I don't think Norman told me he had to fake propose to a girl. I will have to find out what he did... lol.

Welcome to the post-proposal world! Enjoy it because the wedding plans come fast and furious!

By the way, I appreciate your perspective on relationships especially in academy. You are doing the right thing!

Hey April, that was a very funny story. You are such a great writer! I am glad, however, that it wasn't a real proposal. It's good you are saving yourself for the right person. It's definitely worth waiting!
