NYE and NYDay
NYE was spent at House Jarvinen, with much laughter, MUCH food, and much love. We got home quite late, and didn't get to sleep until 4am. I did get a much better magical name, too: Silkworm. I've used Greenchimes in the past, but that's more my online persona.
I woke at 1pm, Yoric was absent, but waked in just a few minutes later. He came into the bedroom and gave me Happy Birthday snuggles. He was insistent about taking me out to lunch, so we showered and dressed up pretty, and went to the Chianti Grill (new location on Snelling). I ordered up a coffee, and Yoric handed me 3 cards: Audrey Hepburn wished me a Happy New Year, 3 Bichons told me I was told me I was the greatest gift, and Love asked me to marry him. I looked up, and Yoric was on his knees, shaking, an open box in his hand, holding the serpent ring I wanted. I smiled and said yes immediately.
Yoric had stolen my phone earlier; apparently he had told everyone we know he was going to propose and had a sudden panic that someone would tell me before he got to it. So I got it back, got to update my Facebook page, and take a picture of us. Got to call my mom, Chad's mom, my brother.
Food was fabulous as well: Spinach Ravioli for me, Walleye for Yoric, followed by a complimentary Creme Brulee, with a candle, for my birthday. Excellent coffee.
Home to bake a cake for tonight's festivities: dinner and hot tub!
The day has been perfect.
