<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

I've been with my girl for 8 years, come September, and we just bought a house. The past couple of years have been hard on both of us (finishing school, losing a job, getting new jobs, the other one losing a job, and so on), and we are finally in a place in our life where we are stable and can get married. (I didn't feel that getting married and still living in my mother's basement was something I wanted, or else I would have asked a long time ago, if any of you are thinking "What took so long?")

I'm looking to pull away from the 'tradition' ways of doing it, putting ring in food, going to a nice place and just asking, etc. While those will get the job done, they don't reflect her personality.

She's not a girly-girl at all, and has a quirky sense of everything, especially her clothing. I don't think I've seen her wear matching socks, ever. She's also a Special Ed educator that has taught mostly with autistic and M.R. children. I've thought about getting the kids in her class to help me out with something unique, but some of the children are on the high end of the spectrum and can't function without help, and I wouldn't want to neglect any child from helping me. I still haven't fully ruled this out though.

She also has a thing for Taco Bell's mild sauce...she puts it on everything. I know some of those packets say on the front of them "Will you marry me?", and I thought I might be able to incorporate that somehow.

She's also loves Tetris. Freaking LOVES it. But besides that, isn't into video games at all :( .
