Wowzah! Save the date?

I haven't posted a new blog post this year. I suck! I have a lot of good and exciting news!! :) First of all.. My coworker had her baby on Jan. 18. She is ADORABLE! I love her and her mommy. Second of all... on Jan. 22 around 1:30am I got this.. :) 

Isn't it pretty?! Here's the story of how it all went down :)

So all day Saturday we had the ring inside this box, inside another box, inside this bag. I knew what it was and it was tempting me to look at it ALL day long. So finally when we got to N's house late that night I asked him if he would go put it in the safe, because I was DYING to look at it. So he grabbed the bag off the couch, and went to where the safe was. Meanwhile, I was in his room folding this big blanket, and he came walking in and I had turned around and he didn't look at me. So I just continued on with what I was doing with that blanket. And all the sudden I hear this really soft shaky voice say, "K....?" and I turn around and there is N. Down on one knee. Just looking at me with this nervous smile. 

Now before I go any further, he had been joking non-stop about how he was going to joke around with me and make me believe that he was going to propose when in fact, he was just playin' around. This time... he WASN'T kidding.

So I look at him down on one knee... and he's SOOO nervous and SOOO vulnerable at that point in time (I adore him). Then he proceeded to say, "K...?", now my mind was screaming "YES?!" but I had NO words! I couldn't even function. I was just staring at him. I was completely one-hundred percent speechless. After a long (and somewhat awkward) pause, I said... "I love you!?", and N then said the infamous words,  "I hate your stinkin guts, you make me sick." JUST KIDDING... he said what you thought he would say, "K, will you marry me?" And I just stood there dumbfounded, and his response to my blank stare was... "You think I'm totally f***ing with you, huh?" and he pulled out the box with the ring inside, opened it, and all I saw was twinkle twinkle twinkle, and I said the word "yes" probably 10 times, wrapped my arms around his neck and started kissing him, and hugging him. Then I asked if he was serious, and I said "Holy Moly" a lot... and then when he finally put the ring on my finger, and we stood up I couldn't stop hopping up and down like a little kid on Christmas eve. It was hysterical. Then when I asked if this was really happening, he reached over and pinched my arm, and I immediately started crying because I was so excited! It was awesome! I wouldn't trade it for anything in the whole wide world. 

We decided on a date for our wedding... At least I'm fairly certain that we did... And it looks like it is going to be September 12. It should be a beautiful day. Please Save the date.
