A very wonderous night....
Well there is big news. I’m not sure anyone reads this anymore but I’m going to post it anyways. Last night I proposed to Erin and she said yes. So we’re engaged.
It was perfect. I asked her roommate to meet me at their apartment and let me in before Erin got home. I had told Erin that I had a very early meeting and wouldn’t be able to go to the gym in the morning and asked if we could go together after work. She said yes. This gave me the opportunity to know that she would be home at a certain time. So I changed into a shirt, tie and blazer and placed candles around their kitchen and living room. Then when opened the door she looked somewhat confused. Then I asked her. She cried a little but was exuberant. We made some quick dinner and then went and told her parents. They were both very excited and we all had some champagne to celebrate. The best part was when I asked them. I had asked them the weekend of Thanksgiving. Well that next Monday they brought it up to Erin and discussed it with her. She then told me that they were “ready” and that whenever I felt like it they might be open to talking to me. So for the past two weeks I’ve been acting like its been to busy and that I hadn’t had a chance to meet with them. Erin was very surprised by that. After talking to her sister on the phone we went downtown for appetizers and desserts at The 1931 Room, a 5 diamond French Fusion restaurant in the Amway Grand. It was excellent. We got scallops and lobster cakes that were amazing. Then we both got dessert. Erin ordered a chocolate cone that was filled with two kinds of mousse. I got a “forbidden apple” it was ice cream filled with chocolate liquor but covered with a candied coating so that it looked like a red delicious apple. Oh man was it good.
Then we went back to Erin’s parents house to show Treise the ring and talk to her.
It was an amazing night and as I was reminded in a text message this morning, I’m someone’s fiancé……hahaha.
