Well as you may or may not know I just got engaged and I can't stop smiling about it. It happened on Friday the 13th. We're just an unconventional couple. I was totally surprised. We hadn't gone ring shopping or anything. What happened was Mikey called me on the Monday before and told me we had been invited to go to a nice dinner in Park City with for his buddies company dinner. I bought it and was mainly concerned about what to wear because he told me it was a really fancy restaurant up in the mountains and the only way up is by a sleigh, pulled by a snow cat. Dressing fancy and warm was a concern and all that I could puzzle over. I kept asking for his friend's fiancee's number so I could call her and see what she would be wearing. Mikey just laughed and wouldn't give me her number (I found out later it was because she wasn't even going). Thursday came. I was at work when a dozen roses came from Mikey. The note said they were just a pre-Valentine's Day gift. Friday he picked me up and we headed to Park City. On the way he broke the news that it really wasn't for a company dinner but that it was just for us. He thought I would be mad, but I was just impressed that he had kept that from me. I still had no clue what was coming at this point. So we get to the place and hop on this sleigh that is literally for like 30 people. It was incredible. It was about a 45 minute ride. We pulled up to the restaurant which was this adorable norwegian yurt with no running water or electricity. Everything was brought in by snowmobiles and the place was lit up by lanterns. There were two wood burning stoves and even a grand piano. For the bathroom there was an outhouse outside but you better believe it was the nicest outhouse I had ever seen with a container of hot water to wash and all. After our main course Mikey said he wanted to go outside to take some pictures. He seemed pretty determined so I went along. While we out looking around he got up the courage, knelt down, and asked me to marry him. I was in so much shock I just kept yelling, "What are you doing? What are you doing?" It felt like I was dreaming or something where you don't know quite what going on. Mikey said I did manage to get my hand out of my glove and ready for the ring pretty quick. He knelt there for awhile because he didn't want to get up until I spit out the word yes. When we walked back into the yurt everyone started cheering for us. I turned bright red. Appearantly I was the only one who didn't know about the proposal. Mikey did a really great job and gave me a story I love to tell.
So There's our story. I think Mikey tells it better. We don't have a wedding date yet but it will be sometime in the fall. We're very excited and hope to see you there on our big day.
