I don't think I have been this happy EVER!!! I can't sleep at night....I can't even get through work without being distracted by the glitteringness coming from my finger! Yes! That's right I am ENGAGED!!! I did not even know it was going to happen! But, this past weekend my life changed forever!
Just look at that RING! It's soooo beautiful and sooo me!! I stare at it all day. I wake up in the morning and look at it and SQUEL a little teenage girl squeal! You think about it all the time in your head about how it is going to happen and how you will react, and I could never have imagined any of it!
So this past weekend the boy and I went to Atlantic City to go see Rascal Flatts. They are our favorite band and we can recite all of the words. I was so excited to go! I couldn't stop talking about how excited I was to him. I just kept saying. "I can't wait to get away! We need to relax! These past few weeks have been so stressful!" I must have said all this twenty billion times to him. The main reason we were going was my belated birthday present. I am the one who came up with it because I wanted to go "do something" instead of "getting something". An experience is always more memorable than an object, and this weekend was sure to be remembered!
So, we left Saturday afternoon after me first forgetting my laptop and we went back to my house and when we were around the corner I saw that I forgot my phone. I was just so excited that I was forgetting everything! We finally hit the road while singing Rascal Flatts the whole way down! We got to the hotel and relaxed a bit before we freshened up and got ready to go to the casinos. I was getting ready in the bathroom and when I came out I saw that Shea was tidying up the room. Now, that should have been my first clue because guys this man is not more for cleanliness. Not even close. So, I saw him cleaning and go, "so, now you decide to be clean," and he goes "well maybe I don't want your stuff all over the place." I laughed and kept getting ready. Shea kept badgering me to hurry up, but I was moving as fast as I could.
We then took a cab to Caesar's and headed for the casiono's. (keep in mind that we had a late lunch, but it was 6pm and we had not eaten anything since 3pm) We headed to the slots and Shea told me he had to go to the bathroom so just sit here and he would be back. I looked at the slots and tried to figure out how they even worked and got stumped. I got up and started walking around to see if I could see other people setting up their slots. No luck. I then found a machine where I thought I needed a member card so I went in search for a member card. When I still couldn't find that I gave up and headed to the bathrooms. I figured I would wait outside for Shea to come out and tell him the slots were too complicated for my pretty self to figure out. I waited and waited, and the boy did not appear. I then took out my cellphone and texted him, "what are you doing in the bathroom??!!" When I didn't get a response I called him and he picked up, "where are you? Outside the bathroom where are you?? Ooo..I see you." and he reappeared behind me. I asked him what exit he took out the bathroom and he said he got lost coming out. And, my excitedness over took my brain and I said Oooo okay! And we moved on. (He was really calling the hotel to make sure everything was going smoothly!)
We played the slots for awhile. (apparently you could just put $5 into the machine and didn't need a member card..whoops!) Shea won both times and I lost all my money. We then started towards the boardwalk and went to trump plaza where Shea won $50 on the roulette table. I told him I won on the table because I was the one calling the "red or black" cues, but he insisted it was a joint effort. Our final destination was Boardwalk Hall to see Rascal Flatts, and OMG they were AMAZING!!! I would see them again in a heartbeat!
There was 2 acts before them who were good, but they were AMAZING!! So soo glad we got to see them! During the concert Shea kept asking when it was going to be over and I said probably not till 11pm. Little did I know he had never been to a concert before so he did not know this. We were also STARVING!! During the encore Shea turned to me and said his legs were shaking. So, we left soon after and headed back to the hotel to get some food. Me being the one who gets us lost at least once during every trip thought I knew where the taxis were, but I ended up bring us to the parking garage instead...whoops! We ended up walking all the way back to the hotel, and now we were starving and in need of a bathroom! We got off the elevator and headed to our room, but I was five steps ahead because I had to go to the bathroom. I get to the door and open it, and in the dark I can make out rose petals on the floor. I turn to Shea and say, "are we in the right room???" He doesn't say a word, but turns on the lights. The whole floor is covered with rose petals. On the bed there is a heart made out of rose petals. There is champagne, chocolate strawberries, and 3 bouquets of flowers!! One bouquet of a dozen roses, and 2 bouquets of 6 roses each, 3 lily's, and 3 orchids. (my favorite flowers!)
In my stupor of shockness I turn to him and give him a hug and say "Awwww your such a nice boyfriend this is so romantic!" He pushes me away and heads down on one knee and I say "Holy F&#K!!" He says I broke his concentration and I say "I'm sorry go on." He says a beautiful speech and asks the four most magical words, "will you marry me?" I say YES!!! and take the ring out of the box and put it on my finger! (I'm a little impulsive!) And grab him for a kiss! I start freaking out and no words would come out at all! I "Miss Never Stop Talking" could not form a sentence! He laughs and kisses me again and then says "lets get food!" haha! We ordered room service and I have to say that I don't know if it was because we were so hungry, but the burgers we got from room service were the best burgers we had EVER had!!! We ate everything in a split second and cracked open the champagne and cheered to our new life together!! Then, began the phone calls to everyone and his brother saying that he was the one who sent us the chocolate covered strawberries! (Sooo sweet!) There was so much excitement in everyone we called! My sister cried on the phone she was so happy!
The next morning (after me not being able to fall asleep till 3am) we got up and ate the chocolate covered strawberries for breakfast. Then, we rushed home to see family all day! (Not before me telling the bell hop I was engaged and going crazy! I wanted to tell everyone!) Once we told all of our close family I had to post it on Facebook to tell all of our friends! The love we have around us is overwhelming and we feel it sooo much! And we are so glad that we get to share our excitement with everyone!
The newly engaged couple! We are so cute! And so happy!!
