biggest day of my LIFE
It's been about 8 years since I updated this thing and thought this would be a great time to do so. Shawn is playing a game on the Xbox and his brothers are over watching him, so I have a moment to myself.
The work area hasn't really been improving. I'm working 9 hours/week, and I really need to start looking for jobs. Shawn's work has been picking up, and in the meantime is collecting partial unemployment to help pay for the rent and other things we need to stay alive. I did work at Macy's for 3 weeks in December. I hated it and quit. There's a position open at Shaler Waterworks Cinemas for PT Assistant Manager, I'm gonna apply there and see what happens. It'll be awesome if I get it, for sure.
The new apartment is awesome! I love it, it feels so homey and it's so close to everyone.
Anyhow, today is Valentine's Day. This'll be my fifth year spending it with someone, and I couldn't ask for a better person to spend it with. Shawn made reservations for us at Shogun in Monroeville, so we went there and had delicious hibachi food and wonderful hibachi entertainment. Shawn told me our chef didn't have a right thumb (after he was done cooking and left), which made the whole show that much more amazing! I didn't even notice!
After we ate, he drove us to our high school and PROPOSED! It wasn't a huge surprise, but it was a great experience. I knew the ring was here, Shawn teased me about it. I saw the ring box in his pocket when we went out to eat. But getting to the school (that's where we met, of course), and the sun was setting so the sky was an amazing red/orange/beautiful color. We were standing looking at the sunset, and he had his arm around my waist, and he said, "how about it baby, will you marry me?" I cried a little and said yes!
I think the ring is absolutely beautiful and I love it! No, we don't have a date yet, but everyone will know when it is set, and everyone will be required to come in Renaissance attire!!! :)
