Marisol’s POV- August 2014
I slipped on the rings that would be added to my engagement ring the day I was to marry Mike and I looked at it. The finishing result was beautiful, but I didn’t want to overspend.
“How much is it?” I asked the sales rep who looked at Mike.
Mike shook his head and I frowned at him.
“None of that, do you like it?”
I looked at my ring and bit my lip causing Mike to smile and nod at the lady.
“She’ll take that one”
I looked at Mike.
“Can I at least know how much it’s worth?” I asked.
“No”
I frowned and I looked at Mike.
“So I want a ring that’s smooth and you know…manly”
I rolled my eyes and the sales rep looked at me and laughed lightly.
“He wants a ring that his teammates wont make fun of” I said.
She laughed lightly and nodded.
“Well we got these”
We followed her and he got his finger measured. He looked at the rings and pointed at one.
“That one is nice”
The sales rep handed him one his size and he slipped it on. He laughed lightly as he looked at his hand.
“How did I get this lucky?”
The sales rep awed and I smiled at Mike.
“You sap” I told him.
He grinned at me.
“More brownie points?”
I laughed and nodded.
“Yes” I told him.
He closed his hand into a wrist and nodded.
“I want this one”
The sales rep nodded and I looked at Mike.
“We’re getting married”
I laughed and nodded.
“We’re getting married” I repeated him.
He smiled and kissed my forehead as he pulled me closer to him.
“Dinner at our house?”
I nodded.
“Yes, Isaac is making dinner” I said.
He hummed and I looked up at him as I remembered something.
“Did you call the fencing place?” I asked him.
He made a face and I laughed.
“I forgot, I’ll do it tomorrow”
I nodded and he smiled.
“So are we really getting two other dogs?”
I looked at him.
“Well we need guard dogs” I told him.
He nodded.
“No froofroo dogs”
I laughed.
“My dog is not a froofroo dog. We want guard dogs so we will go and check out some dogs and we’re going to save two” I said.
He looked at me.
“We travel babe”
I looked at him and smiled.
“It’s taken care of. The dogs would stay here and I’d get someone to come feed them” I said.
He looked at them.
“Dogs are responsibilities and I want a baby”
I smiled at him.
“Baby can wait. We rescue some puppies and train them so when baby does come he or she will have some nice guardians” I said.
He nodded and I smiled.
“I’d like it if there were dogs, it’s a big house” I said.
He nodded.
“Ok, whatever you want”
I nodded and he handed the card to the sales rep.
“Why is Isaac at our place making us dinner?”
I nodded and laughed
“Kara kicked him out because she is working on my dress” I said.
“She started on it?”
I nodded and he hummed as he snaked his arms around me.
“Give me hint?”
I laughed.
“It’s tight fitting. I’m going to look like a whore in a church Michael. It’s so tight on my legs that I will be dragged to the alter” I said.
He laughed.
“No it’s not”
I smiled.
“Maybe it is” I said.
He smiled and kissed me.
“You could wear a potato sack and I wouldn’t care”
“Why?” I asked.
“Because I’m marrying you not the dress”
I smiled and kissed him.
“And that is why I’m marrying you” I told him.
He smiled and pecked my lips. Things were going real well; in a few weeks I would be Mrs. Richards.

I had to restore my computer because my brother did something to it. So i lost most of this story and i typed up what i remembered.Also, a moment of silence for those who passed in the 911 attacks.
I can't believe it's been 13 years since that happened. I was just 7 years old when it happened so the memory is a little foggy but i remember my mom pulling my brother and i out of class. She was afraid there would be an attack Downtown (LA). My mom used to tell me that for her generation they asked "Where were you when president Kennedy was assassinated?" our generations question is "Where were you on 911?"
So what were you doing on this tragic day, 13 years ago?
