We first met in church about a year and a half ago, and we had a small talk about cats. But then we didn't talk to each other for months; we would just look over at each other when the other one wasn't looking. We wanted to talk, but we both thought the other one was too awesome for us to talk to. And then one Sunday I sat behind James in church and then during our break he actually turned around and said hi! I was so excited that such a handsome man would talk to me! It was a rather odd conversation about eating the icing off of cake and what we were doing school wise and were we worked. But somehow our mutual awkwardness made both of us want to keep talking. We then friended each other on Facebook and the next day we started texting over Facebook and would talk for hours and hours. Over the next few weeks we visited each other at work multiple times and hung out a few times at the local park. And then we finally admitted to each other that we liked each other! He then asked me to go to the renaissance festival and I of course said yes! But first he had to pass an interview with my dad. After lots of nervous waiting the interview finally happened and my dad said he passed! A few days later we went to the park and then the festival and then many more dates. At about 2 months of dating we knew we wanted to get married. I had no clue when he was going to propose yet, so I was waiting and waiting and then it finally happened!

It was Christmas Day and we were going about our normal Christmas Day routine. I wasn't expecting to see James at all that day, because we had already celebrated our Christmas together a few days before. We unwrapped presents and played with our new toys for a while, and then randomly my mom mentioned that I should go take a shower and put on some of my new clothes. I knew from that that something was up, because we never got out of our pjs or did much at all on Christmas Day. So I told James about it and he agreed that it was weird and just went along with what I was saying, but he knew what was going on. So at that point I was thinking that maybe there was going to be a surprise dinner date for us or something... But I was wrong... So wrong. I got out of the shower and came out of the bathroom to start talking to Heather, and then the doorbell rang... Why would anybody come over on Christmas Day?? So I just let my dad answer the door, and then he told me that it was for me. I came around the corner and saw my handsome love standing in the doorway. I ran and gave him a hug and the he pulled me over to the living room in front of the Christmas tree (and little to my knowledge in front of the camera). He got down on one knee, held my hand and said "Sheila, I love you with all my heart and couldn't imagine living one more day of my life without you... So..." He pulled out a beautiful ring and held it near my hand, " Sheila Renee' McKeithan, will you marry me?" And I of course said "yes!!!"
