After 2-3 months of looking for THE ring, I finally found the perfect one. I went with my mom and bought the ring, I cried a bit, I was shaking but I was also really excited. I called my best friend Jer and I tell him all about it, I'm telling him ideas on how I pictured it going, how I wanted him there to get professional pictures of the whole thing. With him working 5-6 hours away we had to plan something a month or 2 away.

Shafia then wanted to go to Rock Glen which has a beautiful waterfall, and of course I couldn't have passed that up. So we're getting ready and I'm trying to hide the ring in the bag and she kept wanting to put stuff in it and it was stressing me out the whole time that she would find it. We get to Rock Glen and we set out stuff aside on the rocks and I made sure the ring was still there, so I bundled my shirt around the ring and I went over to Shafia.

We hangout by the waterfall and we are just relaxing and talking, enjoying the view. More and more people kept showing up and the water got colder and colder, so I finally shut the nerves out and I suggested we get pictures with the waterfall.

I stepped away to get my phone, on the way back I asked a lady if she would like to take some pictures and she somehow knew what I was doing right away and agreed right away.

I get up on the rock in front of the water fall with Shafia and I'm as nervous as I have ever been. She's fixing her hair obviously, so I bend down and grab the box from my shirt, I get on one knee and i completely forget the whole speech I had written down and I just start rambling all the cute stuff. Shafia is blown away for a few seconds then quickly realizes the ring isn't in the box, it was empty. THE RING WASNT THERE. We quickly panic and start looking around for the ring and with the water being right next to us we assumed the worse.

I start laughing as I'm trying not to panic and I quickly go back to my bag and I'm looking through the whole bag taking everything out slowly and finally the ring was at the bottom.

When we first arrived I checked to see if the ring was there right? But I was nervous and shaking so I quickly looked but also quickly closed it and I closed it on my shirt and the ring must've slipped out then.

It was unforgettable to say the least.
