It's official...
I'm being made into an honest woman. Yes, kids, I'm getting married.
Here's how it went down:
We had made plans to go up to this mountain lodge in NC called Tapoco Lodge. He's been there a couple of times and really likes to get up there to get away from everything. So we'd made plans to go up there for Memorial Weekend. I didn't even think to suspect that he was going to do it b/c he had made this whole speech about being able to go on a trip without me expecting that a proposal was going to happen and then being disappointed when it didn't. Anyway, we left Friday morning and got there around 4:30. We checked in and took our stuff to our cabin and got settled. Dinner started around 5 and he
suggested that we walk around to see some of the grounds and then we could make our way to dinner. So we walked around and then we came to these nature trails, and he wanted to go on one of them, and I said that I didn't want to b/c I only had flip-flops on. But he said that we wouldn't go very far and I finally said ok. So we walk a little ways up and we come to this little bridge that was marked as an overlook of the lodge. He said that this was a good spot and I looked around and said yeah, it's pretty, and I turned to head back down the hill. He grabbed my hand, and when I turned back around he was down on one knee. And of course, I thought he was just being silly b/c I said, what are you doing? That's not funny. Get up and let's go get dinner. Then he pulled the ring out, and then I said, oh my god you're serious. And then he proposed!
And no, I didn't cry, I was too busy staring at the bling bling.
There was also a party waiting for me on Sunday when we got back home.
So now the REAL fun begins!
