How we met...

Picture
We met in high school, sophomore hear to be exact, he was my friend's date to homecoming, but she didn't spend a lot of time with him, so my other friend and I hung out with him most of the night, after the dance we all went out to denny's and he bough an entire french silk pie for everyone.  We became friends and started talking everyday.  He had a girlfriend soon after that, but we hung out as friends, he would take me hiking (which I had never really done before) and we would just hang out.  One day (after weeks of complaining about he crazy girlfriend) senior year in highschool I was dropping him off at his house and he came around the window and kissed me, then blamed it on the full moon.  He broke up with his 'crazy girlfriend' the next day and we started dating and that was 11 years ago!

Engagement.... the true story, not the PG version

Picture
We had just celebrated our 10th anniversary and decided that we should go ahead and make it official, we found the ring, and I knew that he had it so it was just a matter of time.  We had planned to camping with friend of ours, and whenever we go camping Kevin drives me into work so he can pack up the car and we can leave right after he picks me up.  Friday morning he wakes me up early because he wanted to get waffles before taking me to work, it was a coulpe hours early so I said ok.  We start driving and we are going in the opposite direction from my work.... I ask him where we are going and all he will tell me is we are going to get waffles.  I'm watching the clock to make sure I'm not late for work and finally realize he wants to go to a waffle place that's another hour away, I decide he's just too tired to realize that there's no time to get waffles and tell him he has to take me to work, he promises to turn around on the next exit, and then we pass it.  I finally ask him directly what's going on, and he tells me he's kidnapping me (he had arranged with my boss weeks ahead of time) and taking me to a bed and breakfast in Harper's Ferry.  We get there and he has roses and champagne waiting in the room, and at this point, I know what's up and just waiting for a 'special moment.  We go hiking on the appalachain trail, and I'm waiting for it.... nothing.  That night I'm getting out of the shower, and he comes into the bathroom (I though to bring me another towel or something) and gets down on one knee and pops the question.... I'm standing there in a towel!   He told me later while I was in the shower he was trying to figure out how to still suprise me and that was the best way he could think of proposing where I wouldn't expect it.  We tell people just that he proposed the 1st evening, not the details.


PS - we did get the waffles.   :)
