It's actually been a week since it happened, but I've been so superbusy with work and school starting back up, that I haven't been able to get on... So here's how it went down:
We had made plans to go up to this mountain lodge in NC called Tapoco Lodge. He's been there a couple of times and really likes to get up there to get away from everything. So we'd made plans to go up there for Memorial Weekend. I didn't even think to suspect that he was going to do it b/c he had made this whole speech about being able to go on a trip without me expecting that a proposal was going to happen and then being disappointed when it didn't. Anyway, we left Friday morning and got there around 4:30. We checked in and took our stuff to our cabin and got settled. Dinner started around 5 and he suggested that we walk around to see some of the grounds and then we could make our way to dinner. So we walked around and then we came to these nature trails, and he wanted to go on one of them, and I said that I didn't want to b/c I only had flip-flops on. But he said that we wouldn't go very far and I finally said ok. So we walk a little ways up and we come to this little bridge that was marked as an overlook of the lodge. He said that this was a good spot and I looked around and said yeah, it's pretty, and I turned to head back down the hill. He grabbed my hand, and when I turned back around he was down on one knee. And of course, I thought he was just being silly b/c I said, what are you doing? That's not funny. Get up and let's go get dinner. Then he pulled the ring out, and then I said, oh my god you're serious. And then he proposed!
And no, I didn't cry, I was too busy staring at the bling bling.
There was also a party waiting for me on Sunday when we got back home.
He was a sly one, he's had the diamond since last October and the ring had been ready for quite some time. The Saturday where I thought he was ordering it, he was actually picking it up! And that was in March, and it had already been at the store for 3 weeks, he just couldn't get rid of me to go get it.
And the Sunday when my brother took me to the movies is when he took my parents out to lunch to ask for their blessing.
Will post pics when I can get the camera to cooperate properly, it doesn't seem to want to take a good pic of it.
