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!

Saturday: Part I

Last Saturday was a really fantastic day!
This is part one.  Part two deserves its very own post, you shall see.....

I slept in and woke up around 9:45 am did my Saturday things (cleaning my room, laundry, etc) meanwhile trying to decide what to do with the rest of my day.  I wanted to go dress shopping (for a..... special occassion) but also really wanted to go waxing.  I called Waxing Gurus and left a message hoping I could get in that day because after letting my leg hair grow out for over a month, IT..WAS... TIME!  I decided I wanted to try a bikini wax too and of course do my underarms again.  I love waxing so much better than shaving (although it gets expensive and it's not exactly the most relaxing thing ever to get your hair ripped off).

While I waited for a call back I talked to my sister and then called my boyfriend and we decided to go to the gym right then in case they called me back to go wax.....Shortly after we hung up with him they called back from Waxing Gurus and Denise asked me how soon I could be there.  Sweet!  She worked me in for early afternoon and so I set off to the gym.  Now, I will admit going to the gym isn't my favorite thing......yet.  I'm workin' on it (probably a good idea since I'm majoring in health promotion, right?)  I can say though, that I really LOVE the feeling afterward.  Despite the realization that I'll be a little sore the next day, in exchange for the energy boost, endorphins...totally worth it.  Also the hope that if I keep going at it I will one day NOT feel self conscious about how ridiculous I look trying to do crunches (heck, maybe I'll actually be able to do them properly even!)  Right now I'm pretty weak sauce, but I want to change that.

After the gym I chugged some water, ate some yogurt and strawberries and showered.  Then I headed to my waxing appointment.  I got a full leg and bikini wax, plus my underarms.  So, bikini wax...yeah.  Ahem.  I was handed a pair of disposable panties (which was basically a made-in-china flimsy imitation of a bikini bottom (which I DO NOT wear, so that was a new experience! haha).  Right.  Well I put it on and was trying to not think about it.....I was mostly ok until I had to turn over to get the back of my legs done.  Picturing my exposed gluteous maximus in that tiny tissue bikini thing I couldn't help but giggle...in embarrassment.  Sure, for her it's her job and it's just like a piece of meat for a butcher....but....anyway.  I survived.  The underarms didn't even hurt this time and I was so pleased....I LOVE the silky smooth feel!  Yes, I think I might be addicted to waxing.

The stars lean down and kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

You may have heard of the Pop/Electronica group Owl City on the radio.  Their song "Fireflies" is pretty popular, and most recently "Vanilla Twilight"

I *love* their song "Hello Seattle" (remix version).  I could listen to it over and over.   It makes me happy.
Go here to listen.
