Thursday, November 30th 2006, my 21st bitrthday. I woke up and got dressed up. I then went to work. Then Adam took me to lunch and dropped me off at school at 3:00. I got out of class at 7:00 and we were gonna celebrate my birthday! Side note: he received a speeding ticket on his way over. He then took me to Red Robin. What a perfect place to celebrate. After dinner we got into the car and Adam blindfolded me. He turned on our favorite VoiceMale CD and drove me to the temple. A place we often went to discuss everything. He gave me a frame with petals from the roses I got this morning pressed in glass, along with a poem.
Like the waves of the ocean
The sands of the sea
Constant and flowing
Strong... and steady.
Our love,...it moves,
Yet it stands so firm.
Unexpectedly it changes
And like a fire it burns.
Through storm and current
And every sea-tossed wake,
There's a peaceful calm,
Like the ripples of a lake.
It travels the earth,
And never stops progressing.
Ever-steadily flowing,
But never a love digressing.
With all my heart,
This promise I'll make.
That like the ocean
Which never stops churning,
Our love is a flame,
Which never stops burning.
-Your Adam
Shortly after reading it to me he gave me a folder. The folder held the where-abouts of an acre of the ocean floor off the shore of Hawaii, which now belonged to me. He then asked me to blindfold myself again. Once we stopped the car he told me to sit still because my last gift was in the trunk, ( lies all lies). He then opens and closes the trunk. Then he opens my door and reachs for my hands. It was very scary walking when I couldn't see where I was going. I soon was walking on snow. It crunched beneath my feet. When we stopped Adam held me close and whispered words of forever. He then became quiet. He asked me if I could hear the ocean. I heard water flowing and became very scared, I didn't know where I was and I didn't want to fall in. He hugged me tight. He asked me to take off my blondfold. The next moment he was on his knee. The diamond ring he held up caught all the light in the darkness of the night. The candles on the bridge twinkled and the snow was so bright. He then asked me to spend eternity with him. I said "uh-huh!" It was so special. Finally, our friends came out from underneath the bridge.
