I'm so excited to annouce that I"M ENGAGED!! I know I had mentioned that I thought my FI was teasing me about getting my nails done for this weekend, and I truely didn't think it would happen but he surprised me. Here is my story!
So Sunday morning, my FI gets up earlier than me which is pretty typical of a weekend and tells me to go back to sleep (think nothing of it). He goes downstairs and I can hear him making noise in the kitchen, clanging of bowls etc. Recently he has become obsessed with making banana bread since I taught him how to, so I figured he was making that so he could have some for breakfast. I wasn't very tired after he had gone downstairs and couldn't fall back asleep so I decided to head downstairs to join him. Well I get down there and he's making pancakes but has the burner on super high, so I was helping him get things out of control and I could tell I had surprised and flustered him. After a little bit he sent me back upstairs to go back to sleep or to take a shower. I didn't really feel like doing either so I just laid in bed watching tv cause I knew something was up.
A little while later he comes upstairs still a bit upset (things weren't working for him exactly how he had envisioned). He opens the door and presents me with a plate filled with pancakes that spell out "Will U Marry Me". He got down on one knee and asked me and of course I said YES! His idea was so adorable, he had based it off of what his late grandfather used to make for him as a child. His grandfather would make letter pancakes for everyone, so I'm so glad my FI shared this tradition with me in such a special way.
He was a bit disappointed that I came down when he was starting to make pancakes but I still didn't know exactly was was going on so in my eyes I didn't ruin anything and it could not have been more perfect.
Ok on to the photos, I've attached the pancakes and a few of my ring in some of our flowers. I'm working on the handshots because so far all the ones I've taken I hate. Thanks so much for all your support. I'm happy to be signing off of LIW at #46. Dust to everyone else!
