I'm Engaged!!!

David and I are getting married! I couldn't be happier. :)

So here's how things went down...

Monday morning David was rained out of work and was trying to convince me to play hookie to stay home with him. I'm sure he knew I wouldn't do that and I got ready and went to work like any normal Monday.

Around Noon, I started feeling badly, and since my boss was out of the office for the day, I decided to go home, take a nap and hopefully start feeling better. I didn't call David on my way home, because I thought it would be a nice surprise that I'd come home early.

I pull into the driveway to see that David's truck isn't there and wondered where he had went (while thinking, "Yes! I'm going to take a nap!"). I walked in through the garage, thinking it was strange that David had shut the bedroom door, poor Lucy, locked out of the room! So I opened the door and saw something on the floor.

I turned on the light, there were ROSE PETALS all over the floor, leading to the bed. I had NO idea what was going on, but I thought, "oh, how sweet, David wanted to surprise me after work". I walked further into the room and saw balloons, thinking, "what the hell?"

I laid my purse and Sonic 44 Diet Coke on the desk and walked over to the bed. Turned on the light and what do you know! He had spelled out "WILL YOU MARRY ME" in rose petals on the bed!!!

GASP!!! OMG!!! I'VE RUINED THE SURPRISE!!!

Mortified, I quickly grabbed my purse (note: not the Sonic cup) and went upstairs. I'm now shaking at this point. :) Tim and Kevin are in the living room. Tim asks if I normally come home for lunch (Tim knows about the surprise, and in hind-sight is acting pretty funny). I try to be casual, and say, "no, I just came home early... I'll be back". Tim replies, "OK, we are just chillin". Everyone was acting strange... :)

So I leave quickly, hoping to make it out of the neighborhood before David returns!

I call Tim's cell, hoping to tell him that he should NOT tell David I had been home, but Tim was scared to answer, so he didn't. :(

What was I supposed to do now?!? I decided to call David and tell him I was coming home early. "Hi baby, I decided to come home early - I'm not feeling all that great, so I'm on my way home. Call me when you get this. I love you!" And I drive to Target.

So I'm shaking still, walking around Target trying to think of anything I need... knowing what is going to happen when I get home!!! Yay! I end up buying tooth paste and $20 in barrettes. So silly!

In the meantime, David returns home and sees my Sonic cup... "NO!!!" he cries. Tim comes to the top of the stairs.

David: "was she HERE?"
Tim: "No..."
David: "was she HERE???"
Tim: "Maaaaybeee"

I get out into the Target parking lot and send David a text, "where are you"? He immediately calls me.

David: "You've been home!"
Scraps: "Yes, I'm so sorry!" (in a very sorry voice)
David: "Gah!!!"
Scraps: "I love you" (still in a very sorry voice)
David: "I love you too, give me 5 more minutes, then come home"
Scraps: "OK, I love you" (yeah, super sorry voice... still)
David: "I love you too"

I head home... so excited for what happens next!

David meets me in the driveway, soaked through with sweat (it sounds a little gross, but if you know David, he can get really nervous making everything just perfect, so I think its pretty adorable in this situation), he gives me a huge hug and kiss and asks me to follow him inside.

As we walk into the basement (our bedroom) I see even more rose petals on the floor, the balloons now on the bed, two dozen long stemmed roses on each side of the bed and the rose petals that spell out "will you marry me" on the bed. :) Oh, and now there's chocolates on the bed too.

He tells me wonderful things, like "I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I want to have babies with you, I want to grow old and enjoy life with you"... and gets down on one knee and says, "so will you marry me"?

"Yes! Yes! Yes!", says Scraps.

And he opened the box to the most beautiful brilliant cut solitaire diamond I've ever seen. :)

He places it on my finger and tells me that he can't wait for me to be his wife. :) :) :)

Of course, after we stopped hugging and kissing... I grabbed my phone to Tweet it (which also alerts my facebook). ;) He says, "what are you doing?" I say, "telling all my friends!!!"

So then of course, I had to leave and go get my nails done. :)

And that's how it happened...

We haven't set a date yet... but we're thinking Winter in Maui!!! :)
