Today is the Pretend Husband’s birthday (can I still call him that? Perhaps now he needs to be “The Fiancé” or “The Soon-To-Be Husband?”) He woke up early with the dog, as usual, and then annoyed me by waking me at 6:30 a.m. “Hon? Can you call the dog?” he yelled from downstairs.
“Sure. Why?” I groggily answered.
“I think she has a tick,” was the response.
(In my head: “Are you kidding me? You can’t take care of this yourself? It’s early. And I’m sleepy. Wah!”)
I called Molly, but she wouldn’t come upstairs. So I hauled myself out of bed, grabbed a pair of tweezers and went in search of her. I got downstairs to see that the PH was in the bathroom (In my head: “He’s not even going to help?!?”) and Molly was sitting quietly in the kitchen with one of her bandanas around her neck. I got down on the floor with her and started rubbing her back looking for the tick.
“Where’s the tick?” I yelled toward the bathroom.
“It’s near the bandana,” he yelled back.
As I checked around the bandana, I noticed that it was tied pretty tightly around Molly’s neck. I pulled it off and noticed there was writing on it that read, “KAT, Will you marry me?” (In my head: “Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!”)
I burst into tears and turned around to find the PH on one knee with a box in his hand. He said something (I was crying too hard to listen well, but it was along the lines of loving me and asking me if I would marry him) and then said, “Is that a yes?” (Apparently, he couldn’t hear the voice in my head screaming it). I said. “absolutely” between sobs and then tried to admire the beautiful ring through the tears in my eyes.
Then I started to call everybody I know and I felt bad that I only got him soccer shoes and shin guards and I cried some more… and this is definitely not the last you’ve read about this subject. (In my head: “Cannot stop thoughts from going so quickly. Must calm down and do work. I’m engaged! Whee!”)
Not a bad way to start a Monday at all.

Congrats to you and PH..or STBRH...What are we going to know him as now? Oh....and "Cookies" to Molly for doing her part so well....
thank GOD... not because i had ever feared you two would break up (for the rest of the world, it's important to note that the PH and RH are best friends -- isn't that cute? but the real reason i thank god about this event is because i've known for a couple of weeks now and have tried very hard to not let on how exciting it all was, etc. i'm SO happy for both of you.. it's an amazing thing to have two people we love so much so much in love themselves.
Congratulations to KAT and Chris!
