Here's what been happening in my life recently.
The big news, first:
March, 06, 2010
Michael proposed. Here's the details for anyone interested.
Earlier that week, or maybe the week before Michael told me that we were going to a fancy restaurant and I started freaking out cause I didn't have something NICE, nice to wear. He said it was a five-star place, and he said he had to wear a jacket and tie and I was nervous.
I was freaking out about that all week. Friday night we go a buy me a nice dress, so I calmed down on that front, mostly. I was still worried the dress wouldn't be fancy enough and I'd look terribly out of place.
Saturday we get ready and go downtown. The restaurant is on the 21st floor of the Frost building so while we're waiting for the table we can see the whole city, it was beautiful. It was an amazing view.
The maître d' comes and tells us our table is ready, so we follow him to the table, which is by the window looking out over the cit. All you can see is beautiful skyline. He hands us our menus, and I look down and notice that they say "McDaniel Party" on the top, which I thought was really cute.
The tables were set beautifully, with a fancy utensil layout and whatnot. The restaurant was dim and had little candles on the tables floating in water. I'm still taking the setting in and the maître d' comes over, asks permission from Michael, and then presents me a rose on a little pillow which he then puts it in a vase on the table.
We order our food and they bring us fancy cheese, crackers, bread, and butter to start. Then they bring out our appetizers. The maître d' then brings a raspberry sorbet to "cleanse our palette" before our main course, then comes our main course with was cooked next to our table. The food was presently beautifully on artfully designed plates, etc. At to not go into too much detail on the food I'll say it was delicious.
Anyway, Michael keeps telling me these sweet things throughout the night about the last year of us living together, how much he loves me, how happy we've been together. He's holding my hand and staring at me, and I'm thinking he's going to propose but he doesn't. I go off to the restroom, come back, and we order dessert.
When I come sit back down Michael takes my hand and asks me if I'll marry him. The maître d' then sets down my dessert, I look down at it and the cake is sitting next to a bed of rose petals, with an open box on them, with my ring in it. I, of course, said yes and was so happy. I couldn't eat after that, we had to take the cake home cause I was just so giggly and happy and couldn't stop kissing him. It was wonderful.
So, we're getting married next year. We're making plans, and everything is wonderful!
I don't have too much to say besides that. Everything has been great, I'm a library assistant now and I'm very, very happy.
