Down on one knee....

So the time finally came and Simon proposed. He came for a (very) short visit last week, arriving Wednesday evening and leaving Friday evening. The best part was that it was our first year anniversary on Thursday and Simon got to be here for that. We went out to dinner, although it was marred by the fact that I had the stomach flu (ick) and didn't really get to eat. My parents went with us to visit and after we dropped them at home, we continued to Boomers to play video games in the arcade. We really wanted to pay miniature golf, but they closed soon after we got there. After we left Boomers we went down to the beach and ended up walking on the sand in the moonlight. I pretty much knew that it was going to happen, but was trying to be patient. Of course, if you know me, that's definitely difficult! :) He eventually got up his courage to go down on one knee and ask me the most important question I'll ever answer - whether or not I would marry him. My answer was an emphatic "hell, yes" and he stood and hugged me and then we kissed. At that point, I told him that he better put that ring on my finger right now! Of course he did and then we danced in the moonlight for a while. It was so romantic and completely perfect. Of course, now we have to decide on a date!! Right now it's going to be in April, May, June, September or October. Obviously, so not decided upon at all. After my visit to Fresno next week, I'm hoping that we'll have a little more of a set plan. We'll see what ends up happening, and I'm sure more and more plans will be posted as they are set.

What a slacker.......

So I guess I've been busy or something because I haven't posted in quite some time. Since the last time I posted, I got to see Simon and am working on finishing up this semester of school and debating whether or not I'll go next semester. We're talking about moving up the wedding date, so it's possible that I'll take next semester off to plan it and get married and then go back next fall semester once we're somewhat settled into our new life together. It's all so up in the air right now!! Currently I'm hoping that Simon's time off will be approved for later this week so that he can be here on Thursday for our anniversary. Of course I have an ulterior motive - I want my ring!!!!!!! Regardless of whether I get it this time or not, I really hope that he can come down to see me. My mom & I have been plotting what my wedding date will be and where the location will be and who will cater and........ etc., etc., etc. I can't wait until we really do set the date so the planning can go forward. I know, I know, the rambling never stops. Okay, I'll stop before I make even myself sick.
