So just like normal we go to church, and then go home to watch TV and work on some homework. Little did I know our lives were getting ready to change forever! As we got off of the couch to get ready, Ross told me that I should keep my church outfit on because it is absolutely beautiful; and then proceeded to put on his spiffy new Izod polo. He made a comment about us semi-matching being perfect because we would be taking tons of Easter pictures with his cousins. Yet again, a hint dropped and I'm still clueless! As we were walking out the door, Ross ran into his office to grab a Target sack. After I questioned him, he informed me that he cleaned out our candy drawer and made Easter eggs for all of his cousins! Ope! There's another hint, and I'm still clueless. I thought he was just being a sweetheart. I even told him to say they were from both of us! WHOOPS!
Finally, we arrive at his Aunt and Uncle's house and it is a very normal Easter. We played with the kids, hid eggs, and ate far too much food. However, right after lunch ended, it was time for the Easter egg hunt! As a family, they decide Ross' easter eggs should be hunted first! All of his cousins go looking for their eggs, and find them in each pocket of the pool table; but I just stand by Ross, not realizing I had a very special egg to hunt. He pushes me toward the game room, but I turn around and said, "No Ross! Let your cousins have them!" He politely responds by telling me that I had a special egg with my name on it and that I had to go hunt too. Well, there's the BIG clue, that I did not pick up at all. As I begin searching around the room, Lauren pointed out that my egg was obviously in the pool table pocket that no one was standing at since that is where everyone else's eggs were. I walk over to the pocket and pull out a small pink egg that has my name written on it in silver Sharpie. As I held my unopened egg, I looked around and noticed that everyone else's eggs were really big, and mine was just a tiny little thing. In my head I was thinking I got less candy than everyone else, but little did I know...
Ross' Aunt Missy counted for everyone to open their eggs at the same time. As I opened my egg I was sure it was a dream. I looked up, and around to everyone else who received an egg from Ross, only to find they all received ring pops. As I stared at my gorgeous diamond ring I was speechless. Once I realized that everyone was staring at me, and there were numerous cameras pointed in my direction I finally spit out, "WHAT IS THIS?!" Ross took the ring from my egg and got down on one knee. Supposedly he had a pretty killer speech planned but I thought this one was perfect:
Mackenzi, you're my everything and I love you. There is nothing I want more in the world than to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?
Of course, I was ecstatic and speechless, and it took everything in me not to burst into tears. But somehow I spit out the word YES! before shoving that ring on my finger and completely attacking him while he was still down on his knee. As soon as he gave me that first kiss, my legs and hands started shaking. That moments, was the best moment of my life thus far. It was honestly a dream come true. I could not have dreamed up a better engagement myself.
I am truly thankful that God has blessed me with such an amazing man. He is my best friend, and my other half. We have been through just about everything, and I am the happiest I have ever been. Ross is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I wouldn't change a thing. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him!
IT'S OFFICIAL! Ross Braun is my fiancé, and it will be Mackenzi Krystene Braun one day very soon! :)
