It Happened on May 18, 2011
I went to the resort I was told to go to at 5:30pm. When I showed up he texted me saying he was going to be late. No big deal, I was still sweaty and in gym clothes and needed to clean up. 1 hr later I was all gussied up.... hair down and sultry straight, makeup perfect, in dress, skinny belt on, felt amazingly sexy. He walks into the hotel room right as I was slipping into my new white sandals and says "wow you look amazing, and I don't think I dressed up enough!" (Aw cute).
We go to dinner at this Italian restaurant that I've always wanted to try called Gavi, but forgot that I told him that last December. Even though the service was slow, the food was NOM NOM NOM! He then takes me for a drive then up to the top of the canyon to look at pretty houses, the city view, and the moon. While driving around, we get into a hilarious conversation. We decided that someday when we are rich that we are buying a city and naming it "lithpville" and naming all the streets with spellings that would make you think the owners have a "lithp” (example: I live in Tuthon). You gotta love how wine makes one think of funny ridiculous things, right! Anywho, we finally get to the top.. He opens my door and assists me out of the car and we are enjoying the view of the city and the full moon. I'm thinking "he's gonna do it eeeeeh!" BUT it was cold and windy and I couldn't keep my legs from shaking (it was a bit breezy under my cute dress eh). He didn't do it. I convinced myself it wasn't happening and to just enjoy our 1 year date. We got back in the car, continued said hilarious conversation.
We get back to the room and he suggests going for a walk on the golf course with the hotel provided robes, barefoot. I'm like "sure yah sounds like a fun adventure!" Well we get outside and it's still cold and windy, and the golf course had just been watered. Translate.... ice cold feet. I started whining about how stupid it was to be out here and to just go back and get our flips. He says no, lets just find a dry spot. UGH ok fine, was my reply. We keep walking, and I keep whining. Just to make a point, at every chance/kiss I stepped on his (bare) feet to prove how cold my feet were. At this point, the cold foot thing is funny. Finally we find a path that is warmer than the grass, but the concrete was sharp/spiky and hurt my feet. I whine some more. Beg to back. No, he says, let's just find dry grass over there on the hill under the tree. OK, ugh fine. By this time I'm cold, wet, and coming down off of buzzed/tired.
Enter said tree... we lay down in cuddle position under the tree and I thanked him for such a lovely evening even if my feet were cold. (At this point my frozen feet were firmly planted against his warm leg.) He reminds me that it is a full moon and that it's pretty and he points for me to look. I look. He says oh it's so sparkly! I say... "yeah it's sparkly... wasn't it full last night? Oh well, maybe I was imagining things." This time he puts his left arm on my left shoulder and uses his left hand to point towards the moon, saying look! it's SPARKLY! And there I notice something on his left hand. He whispers, I have something for you. At which point I freak out because I know it's coming. He leans in and whispers in my ear "Will you marry me?" I cried, buried my head, finally say yes! Cries, hugs, smiles later, I tell him I can't wait to spend forever with him! It was such a happy and intimate moment, words can’t describe it. I've never felt so close and deep until then.
Now I'm on cloud 12. I am so excited I can hardly eat. My phone battery is dead, so I'll have to make calls later. Today I am just enjoying the excitement. He will get off work early today, so my fiancé will be home early.
