As my birthday quickly approached, I wondered what exactly the day would have in store.\u00c2\u00a0 I told M that a nice dinner would be fine, no gift necessary.\u00c2\u00a0 Years of birthday disappoints, break-ups, etc had left me a “Birthday Scrooge”, as a friend would say.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s hard to be disappointed with a nice romantic dinner out.<\/p>\n
I finally decided on a nice Italian restaurant with outdoor seating and M made the reservation for Sunday night.\u00c2\u00a0 We both decided to take Monday, my actual birthday off.\u00c2\u00a0 As Sunday rolled around so did the clouds.\u00c2\u00a0 Over the weekend I received\u00c2\u00a0 a few birthday cards containing monetary gifts.\u00c2\u00a0 With money in hand I decided I needed a new dress for the occasion.\u00c2\u00a0 Well as luck would have it, there was not a cute dress to be found.\u00c2\u00a0 A last ditch trip to Target ended the dress hunt without a dress but with new shoes.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh well \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
When we got home we realized there would be no outdoor dining as the clouds were looking quite ominous.\u00c2\u00a0 We dressed, complete with new shoes and headed to dinner.\u00c2\u00a0 While at dinner M told me he had a “silly” gift for me to open that night.\u00c2\u00a0 I didn’t think much of this as I figured he had found some sort of Auburn memorabilia at a local sports store.\u00c2\u00a0 After dinner we decided to head to The Cheesecake Factory for dessert.\u00c2\u00a0 As we were waiting for a drink and cheesecake, I told M that friend of ours had asked me if I thought he would propose.\u00c2\u00a0 I told her that if he did, he would give me a ring pop first.\u00c2\u00a0 I explained this was a running joke with M and I.\u00c2\u00a0 He just chuckled and asked if they still made those.\u00c2\u00a0 With cheesecake in hand we headed back to the house.\u00c2\u00a0 Once we were changed and back downstairs M asked if I was ready for my gift.\u00c2\u00a0 I said sure.\u00c2\u00a0 I grabbed the box from the coffee table and began to unwrap it.\u00c2\u00a0 Having no idea what the box might contain, I was quite shocked to see a ring pop right there in front of my eyes.\u00c2\u00a0 I looked at M and as I turned he pulled a ring out of his pocket.\u00c2\u00a0 He told me that he wanted me to be his wife and “will you marry me?”\u00c2\u00a0 I immediately began to cry just looking at him.\u00c2\u00a0 I finally managed to say “I think I’m supposed to say Maaaaybee.”\u00c2\u00a0 “HAHA yes!!!”\u00c2\u00a0 And kissed him.\u00c2\u00a0 He put the ring on my finger and I noticed he was shaking.\u00c2\u00a0 Awww how sweet considering he had known my answer for months.<\/p>\n
Now a few days have passed and the weight of the ring has become a familiar feeling.\u00c2\u00a0 With that feeling comes the knowledge that soon enough I will be M’s wife.<\/p>\n
~ and just as a side note M did get me an actual gift for my birthday, a cute pink Ipod shuffle \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
