Well, it's official...WE ARE ENGAGED! What a wonderful early Christmas present! So, since many of you were inquiring how Dennis proposed and what the ring looks like, here it is... (Sorry it took so long, I've been out of commission with an ear infection all week.)
Dennis asked me to meet him downtown on Wednesday evening for dinner. I, knowing that I needed to make nine dozen cookies for a cookie exchange after work the next night, was not exactly thrilled and protested a bit. He assured me that we would have an early dinner and still have plenty of time to bake.
The evening started with dinner at one of our favorite restaurants - Noodle Company. Afterwards, Dennis wanted to walk to the point to see the lights. Again I protested and said it was too cold and we should just go home. He said a quick walk would warm me up. So on we went to Point State Park.
We walked through the mud right up to the Christmas tree. There with the tree to one side and the skyline to the other, Dennis got down on one knee and proposed (not in the mud, there was a concrete slab). Of course I quickly said yes!
Then we headed back to the parking garage to get my car. I had left the ticket in the car, so we went and grabbed that before going to the pay station. Me, being still in shock from the whole proposal, locked my keys in the car. So, Dennis called AAA and we waited until someone came to unlock the car.
Afterwards, we went to see my parents and sister and then his parents and brother. It was a wonderful evening and I couldn't be more happy! Thank you for all the well wishes! We are very blessed!
