My Favorite Moment

Today was a pretty amazing day for me. Like I said earlier I am a freshman in high school now. Well during my 6th period Social Studies class in front of the teacher and my class mates, a very cool very amazing very very attractive senior boy came and knelt next to me, recited a poem pulled out a ring and proposed saying I love you Boo Yeah! Hahahahaha So you get the whole Amazing part to my day. I will never forget this day, in fact I plan on talking about it for the rest of my freshman year hahaha. Obviously I'm not really getting married, and it wasn't a real ring, but it will always be a real memory. It may seem life changing to me tonight because lets face it how many freshman girls get engaged to a hot senior boy in social studies class.
Later that night when I was telling my Dad about the experience, he asked me " Was that the best thing that had ever happen to me in my life"? I mean it was super exciting and my face still hurts from smiling about it all day, but deep down it truly wasn't the best thing yet, or the thing that left me saying Thank you Lord.
People tell me they love me all day long. My parents over kill it! hahaha but its all good, and at the end of every text or face book post my friends will tell me they love me. There was this one time in my life that those words "I Love you Elli" made a difference made my heart go thump thump thump, and left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. It happened probably 3 years ago now. We were both coming down the stairs, we had been on one of many hunts through the house for Coy's most prize possession, his baseball glove. He forgets where he leaves it all the time, and there is NO peace in our house until it is found and back on his hand. We had been looking for over an hour and Coy was getting more agitated and was convinced his glove was gone forever. I found it wrapped up in his comforter on his bed, he obviously had fallen asleep with it and it got lost in the bed. Coy does not like to be touched, hugged, or any close contact for more then maybe 5 seconds, and the last person on Earth he wants touching hugging or sitting next to him is me. I struggled with that as a little child because I didn't understand autism, but now I know he has boundaries and I try to respect them, hahaha for my own sake. Coy has learned to be polite and he always says please and thank you. We were walking down the stairs after the big celebration of finding his glove and he turned around gave me a Big Hug and said "I Love You Elli, thanks for finding my glove". WoW!! Just writing about it gives me goose bumps.
I was stunned, yeah pretty much the best way to describe it. Its was an amazing feeling, because that was not an easy thing for Coy to do. It was genuine and real, it changed our relationship by making it stronger. Thats by far my favorite moment.
