CJ had prepared himself for this moment, all the movies, love stories will all come together in this very moment. Nervousness was an understatement as he rolled out of bed, his feet resting on the floor of his bedroom a little heavier today. He reached over to pull his blinds apart and let the sun rays warm his cold room. It was a very sunny September morning, cars were barely driving past his home as he stretched his arms out and let out a morning yawn.

Today was a big day but he was trying to convince his mind that it was just a normal day so he wouldn’t freak himself out. He walked slowly into the bathroom and turned the water on in the shower. The steam began to fill up the room as he stood there letting the water sooth any tension he had for what was to come. Brushed his teeth, washed and styled his hair, and began ironing his clothes. It wasn’t until his mother came out into the hallway that it began to settle in,

“Are you ready for the big day? Do you have everything ready?” his mom asked.

Cj’s heart sank to his toes because the realization of what was going to happen in merely 3 hours began to sink in.

“Yea, I pretty much planned and prepared as much as I could have, I’m just ready to get to it” CJ responded

His clothes were fully ironed, bag packed, cologne sitting on his dresser ready to be sprayed. He opened up the top drawer and there it was. The single item that held so much weight that he stood there for at least 5 minutes thinking over every aspect of the day that was to come. He picked it up, and opened the box.

The ring shined as bright as ever as the sun rays bounced off its surface, a calming sigh left his body as he placed it on his dresser. It was time to get dressed. He knew his girlfriend of 6 years would of course say yes to marrying him, but he still was nervous beyond his control. It was a good nervous though, he was happy, and it didn’t feel rushed. He got dressed, gathered everything he needed for the day, packed his car and drove to meet his soon to be fiance.
