Saturday: Part II

Ok, part two.....ready?
I will now proceed to explain how on this particular Saturday I started the day as a single woman and ended it with this on my left hand:


He was planning on proposing after finals were over in May but decided a few days ago he didn't want to wait.  He went to the jewelers on Friday and asked, "Uh....could you have this ready by tomorrow?"  They were great and even rush ordered it at no additional charge :)
 He picked me up Saturday evening with his cousin and other roommate and said we were going to go out to dinner but it was a surprise, so he blindfolded me.  Supposedly we needed to pick up their dates too. We drove for about an hour (well, I didn't even realize it at the time) and by the time we arrived at "the restaurant" I needed to use the bathroom (remember all that water I chugged after the gym.?  Yes.). He took my hand and lead me to a restroom.  I began wondering why it smelled like farm.....Hmm.  It seemed to take FOREVER to get there (I wasn't allowed to take off the blindfold until we were inside the bathroom), since I had NO idea what my surroundings included I was walking kinda slow.  He told me there was absolutely NO chance that I'd run into anything so I picked up the pace.  When I finished we walked back and I wondered where the other girls were.....
They helped me climb up onto something and it didn't take long to realize it was an airplane!  STILL blindfolded, they helped me sit and buckled me in.  He took off my blindfold once we were in the air and what a sight!  It was a smalle four-seater airplane and his roommate was pilot and cousin co-pilot, and we sat in the back.  It was really neat to see all the city lights.  We flew  for awhile passing a couple of temples and then circled just above the temple that we planned on getting married in.  At that point he smiled and said, "I have something for you!" and handed me a small gift box.  I opened it and he pulled out the ring box that was inside.  He said he would get down on one knee if he could....and then asked me to marry him! (of course I said YES!!). 

Funny enough, I had the feeling that's what would be happening as soon as he picked me up!
Welp.  That's the proposal story.
Isn't that so cool?!?!
I loved it.
I love HIM.
He is amazingly wonderful.
He has good taste. After all, he picked me..hehe...AND a gorgeous ring! :)
Dating him has been pure awesomeness and being engaged is pretty cool too!
We're getting married August 7th!!!!!!!!!!!  SO excited!
