The Proposal

We got engaged on June 18th, 2009 (my SIL's birthday). I don't think he planned to propose on my SIL's birthday, I think it just happened that way. Honestly- I don't think he planned the proposal- I think that just happened too!! Here's the story-

I had a really bad day at work. Nothing tramatic happened, but just one of those days. I came right home from work, took a shower and put my PJ's on. I was really in a bad mood- even posted on Facebook "What a day- What a day!! Had someone pray to me in tounges, and another lady with a bad check! I think the bad weather brings all the freaks to the bank!!"

Well I guess the prayers in tounges worked, because Nick says he had been planning to propose all day! He was cooking dinner (which he always does) and I was laying on the couch being a grouch! When dinner was ready he asked me to come make my plate. Any other day this would have been ok, but I just wanted him to put it on the plate and bring it to me (See- I was being a grouch) When I went to the kitchen to make my plate he told me that he had something for me. He handed me a box of chocolate covered cherries- a candy that I loved- 8 years ago!! I wasn't real happy with him, because I thought he knew that I didn't really like those anymore, but I tried to accept it as him just being nice. I guess he saw the frustration in my eyes, and he told me he had one more surprise. He told me I had to turn around for this one, and when I looked back at him he was down on one knee, saying BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH (I wish I could remember what he said, but of course I can't) I was sooo shocked! I think at some point I eventually said yes!!

and the picture above is us taking a picture of ourselves, and remember early in this story, I told you that I had already taken a shower and put my PJ's on- so please ignore the "No-makeup look."
