After work, I went to the Mayan Cafe with my wonderful friend, Stephanie and spent some time just catching up with my bff. I just love her. She's so awesome and I love spending time talking to her. She makes me happy. ;)
So, while we were eating tonight, Stephanie asked me, "Why hasn't Vlad asked you to marry him yet?" I just responded, "You know, with everything else about the wedding being totally out in the open, I really think that Vlad wants to have this one thing be a surprise." As this is happening, I'm getting a phone call from Vlad (who also knows that I'm out with a friend and won't be coming home for a while) trying to figure out when I'm coming home. What a punk.....
Anyway, I ate the best ever dessert in the world and I totally want to go back there tomorrow for their bread pudding.....or their chocolate souffle...either way, the Mayan Cafe kicks ass!!!
Alright, moving on.... Some back story, I asked Vlad on SATURDAY to "help" (read: to do for me completely...with no help from me at all) me move my computer and desk over to the guest bedroom and out of my room. So, when I came home tonight, I saw that the windows were open in the condo and I could see Vlad walking back and forth from the bedroom to the guest room. Also, I could see that the TV was on and I just thought, "I wonder if he's trying to surprise me with the office FINALLY being moved over... (seriously, people, it's Monday now).
So, I walked in the house and Vlad was there waiting for me. I should have known something was terribly wrong by that sign alone. He's NEVER waiting for me to come home. The house smelled REALLY good...like cinnamon and steak....I don't know why I think that smells good now..but, when I walked in, I said, "hey, the house smells great!"....Vlad just nervously looks around and says...."I was cooking"... Then he grabs my arm and says,"Baby, come and look at the new office!"....he guides me to the guest bedroom and this is what I saw....
(this is a bad pic....couldn't find my cord for my camera...more to come)
I looked around and saw the flowers....the champagne....the ring box....WITH THE RING!....It took me a second to understand what was happening....but, then Vlad got on one knee and I started to freak out!....
He gave me my awesome ring.....said sweet things, proposed and then .....we got smashed.
Let's see...first there was the vodka toast that we did. Then, the entire bottle of champagne that was consumed....oh yeah, and then the SECOND vodka toast. Needless to say, as I type, I'm pretty smashed...AND happy! So happy! So blessed!
I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!
