Tess Explains It All

Friday night I had the most interesting dream, I had to write about it. The story of the dream itself wasn’t super interesting, but the way I felt during the dream and when I woke up was something I had never felt before. 

The dream started where I found myself surrounded by friends and family at a house party. And right by my side was my boyfriend…not my real life boyfriend…because we all know he doesn’t exist right now…but my dream boyfriend. He was actor Armie Hammer who you may know from the movie the Social Network. Yup…my dream boyfriend was a 10! 😉

During the dream, as I looked around, I realized that this party was planned by my boyfriend so he could propose to me. Once I realized this, the feeling that came over me was obviously like nothing I had ever felt before. I was nervous, I was excited, I was emotional, I was happy and I was freaking out.

We all imagine what it will be like when you get proposed to. Will it be romantic? Will it be a surprise? Will it be in the middle of a baseball game where all of sudden you see your face on the jumbo-tron and next thing you know your bf is down on one knee?  But do we ever really think about how it will FEEL?? In my dream I was feeling exactly how I assume it will feel when it happens to me. My mind was racing with so many different thoughts and all I wanted to do was throw up, cry, and laugh all at the same time. 

So there he and I were, alone in the room, and he just stood there, looking down at me, with complete love and sincerity in his eyes. He started to give me some speech, that I don’t remember, and then slowly all our friends and family started popping into the room to witness his proposal.

This is where it gets weird. He got down on one knee and instead of pulling out an engagement ring…he pulled out this patch and a pin which he called “the patch of his family crest”. He asked me if I would be pinned by his family crest. hahahah I’m even laughing as I write this. How weird is that??! Does that even make sense? I accepted of course and he hugged and kissed me and I felt this love from him that I always knew I would find one day, but still couldn’t believe I had. 

I woke up from the dream right after and I felt complete peace. As weird and corny as it may sound…I honestly felt like it was a dream from God letting me know everything would be alright. My love would come. And when he did, it would be beautiful.
