Cont. of "Wow, what a day!"

to add to the craziness of my day Evan desided to propose to me again today. this is how it took place:

Taryn was happily drying dishes in dorm 11 with her friend Jess when along came Evan. Taryn saw him and heard some whispers about the proposal but she didn't want to jump to conclusions. as she reached for an other dish she heard a voice, coming pretty much from the floor, saying "Taryn Boeringa." when she didn't turn, the voice called out again. "Taryn Boeringa." this time she turned to see Evan Haas kneeling on the floor. he said " Taryn Boeringa, i have been thinking about doing this for a very long time. i've been thinking and praying, yaadeeyaadeeyaadaa...give me you're left hand!" (quite a demanding guy) Taryn responded in saying "but i have a dish and a tea towel in that hand." helpful Brittney (who, along with Amie, had come to watch this very public proposal) said "i'll take that" Taryn was left with nothing to do but give up her left hand to Evan who placed the ring, made of toilet paper, on her ring finger saying "will you marry me?" (looking desperatly into her eyes). Taryn, caught in the suprise of being proposed to so out of the blue, was about to say no when helpful Brittney added "you did said that you wanted to see the ring first." then Taryn rethought her reply. Evan had obviously put so much effort into making that ring, so the least she could do was say maybe. so that is what she proceeded to do. With tears streeming down his face, Evan replied, "that's fine...i'll give you time...all the time you need." then he walked away, leaving Taryn to her peaceful dish drying.

(okay, i must admit that i did embellish this story a little bit...but only a little bit. ps. Evan, if you are reading this, i'm glad that we are such good friends that we can joke about this kind of thing :) )
