I feel different

I woke up the next morning still in Aaron's arms. I couldn't help but smile as I lay there staring at him. He eventually woke up and gave me an odd look.

"What are you doing?", he asked.

"Looking at you," I said.

"I realize that, it's kinda scaring me A.," he said with a chuckle.

I threw my pillow at him and stuck my tongue out. We eventually made it out of bed and ordered room service for breakfast. It was delicious. He must have really worn me out last night, because I was starving this morning. While we were eating we started talking about our wedding. We decided that we should probably tell our parents soon, and we also decided that we were going to wait until May of 2008. I know its a long engagement, but we both still have this last year of law school. Plus we will both have to study for the bar exam after graduation and find jobs. This way it gave us something to look forward too, planning our wedding after the bar.

After breakfast I was giddy after all the wedding talk. We both had no classes today, so we decided to take the rest of the day to just spend time together. I couldn't help but look down at my hand every couple minutes and smile at the thought that I would be his wife soon.

We decided to head to the video store to pick up a couple movies for that evening. We were browsing and had a couple movies in hand already, when we heard Emma's voice. We both turned around and saw her making a bee line straight for us.

We did the normal chit chat and as I was promising to call her to set up dinner she saw my ring. She grabbed my hand and yanked it towards her. "Oh my God!," she exclaimed. "You guys are getting married?!?!," she yelled out and pulled me towards her for a hug.

"Sorry, I didn't mention it," I sheepishly said. "We were waiting to tell our parents first."

"Oh my God! I am soooo happy for you guys. As soon as you guys tell your parents you have to let me throw you an engagement party."

"Em, that would be amazing and so sweet," I said. And Aaron agreed.

She finally let go of me, and we said bye and promised to do dinner next week. Everything had been so hectic lately that I had not seen her in forever. We rented our movies and headed to his apartment. We ordered Chinese and opened up a bottle of wine.

The next day after class we had agreed that we would call our parents and invite them up for dinner this weekend. It would be great to be able tell them both together. So I called my parents and asked them if they could make it up for the weekend. They agreed, but they kept asking me why. I knew they were suspicious of something. Aaron's parents also agreed to come up. We made reservations at our favorite restaurant and sat with anticipation for the weekend to come.
