Today is my birthday! Yay! Woo hoo! Happy 28 to me! But there's something else special about today. It is exactly one year since I got engaged. Yes ladies and gentleman, that means that my now fiance proposed on my birthday last year. Get yourself ready for this romantic and thoughtful story. Tuck into your cubicle or cozy up in those slippered feet because it's go time.
It's Tuesday May 25th, 2010 on my 27th birthday. I go to work and get home around 7pm. I had bought a video camera for myself the week before so I wasn't too surprised to see my boyfriend playing with it when I got home. I open the door and he's got the camera set up on the counter recording. I play it cool. He asks if I'm ready for presents. Duh! Let's get this birthday started!
He then makes an outstanding move, he hands me a clue. Now you have to understand that I have a special place in my heart for scavenger hunts. My dad used to make them for me and I've made one before for Mr. Betty. I read my clue and the chase is on. He follows me with the camera. Now, at this point people have asked me if I knew what was coming. Honestly, I had no clue. I thought he was videoing me getting presents. The thought briefly crossed my mind that maybe at the end there would be a ring but I wholeheartedly believed he couldn't afford one and there was no way that was actually going to happen, it was just me having silly girl thoughts.
I could keep explaining what happened but you know you'd rather watch it. So here it is. We'll discuss when you've finished but I have to warn you that the video is 10 minutes long. Most of it is me roaming through the house finding little gifts and the last one happens right back where we started in the dining room. Skip ahead if you like. I do have to warn you that my fiance was extremely nervous and acting weirder than normal.
I still get nervous when I watch that! In this age of technology any one else have a proposal that we can all share?
