Last weekend I went to Nashville with some awesome gals to run my first half marathon! We had an amazing weekend and a great run! My life changed so much after crossing that line. I trained for three months and pushed myself harder than I have before. Truly though, I had no idea just how much my life would change....
Mom and I crossed the finish line together at 2:22 & it felt so good! Did not train enough for those hills, but that's beside the point now. So I came out of the food area (which I could have stayed longer but mom wanted to get out of there for some reason....haha) and was thrilled to see my sister & hug her neck. We turned the corner & I saw my awesome boyfriend who had roses & a balloon that said "you are the best" which is a phrase we use often. I was so happy to see him & happy to receive my goodies too! So, we stood there for a bit & my sister took a photo.
So at this point Bobby turns around and says "now picture this"....and got down on one knee....and my heart skips a beat and I have no clue what took over my body but I said "no you are not" at least 5 times and could not stop laughing. BL said the most wonderful things and of course I screamed yes when he asked me to be his wife....Best. Moment. EVER. And the crowd around us cheered a little & congratulated us. Oh man, I am getting married to my best friend...to say I am thrilled would be putting it mildly.
I'm beyond blessed to have this man & I can't wait to become Mrs. Bobby Lyons!!!
Awwww... Congrats on finishing the race, first of all. And then a really big CONGRATS on that ring. How awesome. And romantic. :)
