Never thought it would happen, did you?

Neither did I. :) Well, yesterday was quite an amazing day. Michael told me that he wanted to take me to Pirahna, our favorite sushi place, for our 1 year anniversary. I thought that was a great idea. Anyway, he told me to dress up, so I bought a new blouse and got all prettied up. Well, we went to dinner and as usual, it was delicious. Then, Michael started driving. He blindfolded me and wouldn't tell me where we were going. If you know me, this made me feel somewhat uncomfortable since I hate not knowing what is going on. Anyway, I was being sort of grouchy since I had no idea what was going on and I hate waiting. Well, after 3.5 hours, we arrived in Austin at Mount Bonnell. We walked up the stairs and looked out over the lake at the beautiful view for some time. Then, 2 minutes till midnight, Michael got down on one knee and proposed to me. I started crying, of course. I said yes. It was perfect. Anyway, after that, we drove back to Arlington, so I could get to work in the morning. Needless to say, I am feeling a bit tired today, but I think I will make it. Well, during the drive home, Michael filled me in on all the little lies he has been telling me over the past few weeks so he could get this all planned out. I think what means the most to me is how much effort and planning he put into this. I really appreciate that. He got me a very pretty stand in ring with a rose on it. It is very beautiful. He told me he is having my real ring custom made so it will be a few weeks before it is finished. Isn't he the sweetest? Well, I definitley think he is. :) I never really imagined how I would be proposed to because I never really thought it would happen for so many reasons. But, if I had pictured it, it would have been just like that. I feel so lucky to have met a man that complements me so well.

Well, thank you to all of you who stuck by me when I was so cynical and negative about men. I can't thank you enough because your kind words helped me find Michael, my fiance. Wow, that sounds crazy, I have a fiance. :) Anyway, I am off to try to get some work done before I meet with some kids this afternoon. Wish me luck.
