• So this one time I didn't blog...

   ...and this other time...and that one other time...

  ...and then there was this other time I GOT ENGAGED! (Well, Mike and I got engaged :) )

  Yup yup. February 9th was the magical day. Ironic because I had a suuuper long day at work and hated the world. Mike had planned a date night for that evening which wasn't all that unusual so I was not expecting anything crazy LIKE A DIAMOND RING, HOLY MOLY. So yeah, we went to Saturday night church, chatted with our friends Anna and Bryan, and moved on with our evening.

  Everything makes sense now that I look back on it. Mike was clean shaven that day after months of being lumberjack man with a furry beard and he was particulary anxious to get out of church. There were 3 phases of our date night. First, he took me to rent a movie. Second, we ordered food-to-go from our favorite burger place, Spanky's. He asked if we could add one more phase before going back to my house to eat and watch the movie. I said, "sure."  I didn't want to break his spirit or tell him I was hungry and tired and wanted to go home. GOOD THING I WENT ALONG WITH THE PLAN!

  So, Mike drove me to the park where we sat all night and talked before we officially started dating (May 26, 2007). This park has special meaning for us and we hadn't been there since that fateful night in May. LITTLE DID I KNOW HE HAD A RING BOX IN HIS POCKET. I really had no clue. The clue bus ran over me and then backed up over my face.

  We sat on the slides and reminisced about the last time we were at this park. I'm thinking...this is sweet..but I'm cold, hungry, and tired....how long are we going to hang out here?

  Then he said, "I just thought it would be nice to bring you back to where it all started...and to give you this."

  (This = ring box)

  "Will you marry me?" was the next question to which I replied "YES!!" ...After I recovered from the shock and pulled myself away from his neck to answer him...

   

  I feel sooooo lucky. We're both really pumped about getting married!!!

  

  hooray!!!
