The year 1676

There is something about walking down a stone pathway on a late night with the moon high in the sky and with stars spread all through out the dark night evening sky.

It even has a better atmospheric feel to it when you are with a special person. and that is what she is to me.

Martha, Martha, Martha Jean Davis. When I look at her she radiates sunshine like no other. She has golden red-yellow hair that reaches the middle of her neck, with a nice lean body. Tonight she is sparkling with happiness and love. I wonder what has her mind so occupied with that gleam in her eye, but it is a distant if that makes sense.

I hope she hasn't found out. She can not already know. Can she?? This just makes this much more nerve racking and scary! We're almost there. We have finally reached the little garden at the center of the park. I had my best friend come here earlier to set up the romantic scene that I had come up with and I know she will love it. It had an arrangement of candles all arrange and vase's filled with her favorite flowers and and some stragglers loosely placed around the candles and the blanket that was placed on the floor. She loved Daisy's!

The way her eyes lit up exponentially than from the beginning and the way her mouth had looked like it had gotten enough to fit my whole fist into her mouth. Hehe that is just a sight that really don't want to see or imagine. Alright that's enough Nathan get back at whats at hand.

"Martha dear would you love to sit down," I asked as I extended my hand out to her.

She accepted my hand and so much grace it would make an angel cry. Okay maybe I am exaggerating a bit but still she is very graceful. She shocked me with the next words out her pretty little mouth.

"Nate how and who came up with all of this? Did you do it or did all the mastermind ideas come from Johnathan?" I was in utter shock. How on Earth could Johnathon come up with this! He has no romantic bone in his body! Ugh sometimes I swear she just says and ask the most weird and unbelievable things. I look back at her after my initial shock. She looked like she was about to implode from holding back her laughter.

"Martha....? What's so funny??" Is there something on my face?

"Hahaha...Nathan ...he he....I was just messing with you. You silly goose. Hehe you should have seen your expression when I asked if Johnathon did all the thinking! Haha I know that the pretty boy does not have an ounce of romance in him. Plus you're the only one besides dad that knows what my favorite flower is." She said this with so much glee in her voice that it would make an old fart smile.

"Oh, so someone thinks they are funny don't they." I stated with humor and sarcasm. This was one of the key things I love about her.

"Well honey, I hate to disappoint you but I know I'm funny."

"Martha, oh Martha..." I said shaking my head with laughter. "Hey dear would you like some champaign and strawberries?"

"Yes dear," and as I watched her sip her drink and nibble the fruit I was mustering up the courage to tell her how I really felt and it was going to be now or never.

"Honey I need to talk to you and it's kind of important." and as I ended my thought she looked as though someone has told her that she had three months to live. So to settle her nerves and the anxiety I know she is feeling at this point because her body is starting to tremble."Martha, sweety can you look at me please. Don't worry it isn't anything bad. "Just with those few words I could tell that she had called down a bit. So now I am able to continue with my heart felt speech. " So, Martha how long has it been now since we first became a couple? "

"Four years as of today. Why?"

"Well my sweet dear today it is not just our anniversary, it is a special day in its self." She looked at with a confused expression on her face when she heard that today would also have another meaning behind it. "Martha from the first time I laid my eyes on you I just knew there was something special about you that had drew me to you. Even now four years later I still see the same thing that I saw in you then now. I see it when ever you smile, laugh and even with the way you yell and get mad! I love how you're opinionated and will speak your mind when you feel that it is necessary. I love seeing you in your summer dress running through the maize field. I love that your smart, funny, family oriented, and that you love to care for animals. I love the fact that you like to listen as well as care for other and that everything doesn't have to be about you. But most of all I love you wait no scratch that I am in love with you! So I have something important I really need to ask of you. Martha Jean Davis would you do me the honor of becoming my wife. Will you marry me ?!"

The look on her face made me believe that maybe I should not have asked her. Her face was emotionless I couldn't see any sign of an a single emotion!! Maybe it was a mistake to ask, maybe she's not ready. So I cast my eyes downward so that she couldn't see the amount of pain that my heart is going through. It feels as though my chest is being stabbed repeatedly through the heart. Why is she taking so long to answer. Can't she say no already so that the embarrassment can be over with already. ( Whimpering) This is excruciating.... wait was that whimpering.... I looked up and see tears cascade down her gray-green eyes slowly while her lips raised higher into a smile. She looked ecstatic and full of fulfillment.

"OH Nathan!! YES! YES! YES! I will marry you! Oh mama, I am going to be Mrs. Martha Harris!" As she screamed her answer she jumped on top of me. So I was on my back while she is on top of me. She kissed me nice and long. It wasn't lustful or forceful. It poured out our love for one another. "Wait until I tell everyone" I laughed at the the excitement that was radiating off of her. She is going to make a lovely wife and mother... in do time and when she is ready to be a mom. I can not wait to be husband and wife and buy our first ranch together and to have a beautiful bundle of little munchkins running around!
