The Proposal Story

I'm sure many of you are wondering about The Proposal Story, so I figured I'd put it on my blog so you can all enjoy it! :)

So I had a sneaking suspicion that he was gonna propose that weekend because a) I had already picked out my ring, b) he told me he was taking me out for a fancy date and c) he told me I could get my nails done "if I wanted to." Anyway, he was running late from work and was super upset about it, but I just rolled it with and was ready when he got there.

So we got all dressed up and went to Cheddar's for dinner, which is where we went on our first date. We always play paper football when we're at Cheddar's and he told me before that he had the idea of sliding the ring box across the table instead of the football. So I told him that I wanted to play paper football but I was afraid I'd get a box instead of a football and he just laughed. So then I was teasing him and asking if it was in my food or my drink and of course it wasn't and it was just good silly fun.

So after dinner we get in the truck to go to Baskin Robbins and I see something weird shaped in his pocket. I keep staring at it and trying to figure out what it is. When we get to Baskin Robbins, he goes "You know those are just my keys in my pocket, right?" and starts laughing. So I tell him not to laugh at me because he knows what's going on and I don't. So then I just start being over the top with everything. I kept asking him "Is it in my ice cream?" "Is it at the bottom of this cone?" and other ridiculous type questions.

So we start driving out to the EQ (The Equalization Channel at the Lake) and I find like this shiny hard thing in my ice cream and I'm like "what the heck is this?" It turns out to just be a frozen chunk of ice cream, but I honestly had a mini heart attack for a second. So we get to the EQ and finish eating our ice cream. He starts digging around in the backseat for a water bottle and we were joking around when I decide to get out of the truck for a little bit. So he eventually gets out too and comes over to me and is acting all nervous and weird and I start thinking "Oh my gosh. Is this about to happen?"

Well then this weird creepy dude drives up and parks right across from us and just sits there staring at us. It was super weird. So Bryan suggests we move in front of the truck where that weird dude can't creep on us. We're just standing there chatting and being silly and he calms down so I'm like "Well maybe he isn't doing it tonight."

I get tired of standing on the caliche in my high heels so I go get in the truck. He follows me and is standing in the passenger door while I start cleaning out the middle console so we can cuddle in the truck and watch the sunset. So I'm cleaning and we're joking around and he goes "Babe did you know that I love you?" I can tell that his voice is coming from low to the ground. So I turn towards him....

And he's kneeling on one knee outside the passenger door and I go "Oh my god, WHAT are you doing?" And he goes "Tying my shoe." It was so obvious he wasn't tying his shoe, but it was that little moment we needed to realize this is happening. So then he said "Babe do you know I love you? Do you know there's no one who is more perfect for me? Do you know I want to spend the rest of my life with you?" Then he pulls out the ring and goes "Do you want this?" I of course said yes and put it on and started kissing him and crying and everything.

Then he gets in the truck and I literally scream out of excitement and hurt his ears. Then he pulls a package out of the backseat and hands it to me. Inside is a Dolphins jersey with the number 1 and MRS PEARCE on the back because he always tells me I'm his number one draft pick! :) 

I thought I wanted some grand romantic gesture but it was absolutely perfect just the way he did it. It was so us and he caught me completely off guard and it was amazing. Now it's only a few months till we're together forever!!!
