Wooooooohooo! He put a ring on it!
So here's the story...
Thursday, May 2nd - I was a bit suspicious because I knew we had our bed and breakfast weekend coming up in a few days, and thought it was intriguing that Dan and my Dad hung out for several hours that night. Hmm...
Friday, May 3rd - We both left work in the middle of the day and drove down to Virginia for our trip. This had been our Christmas gift to each other this past Winter. It included a two night stay in a bed and breakfast and a wine tasting and tour at one of our favorite wineries in Virginia. We got there late, met the owner of the bed and breakfast, found a spot to eat dinner, and went to bed.
Saturday, May 4th - We woke up and had a delicious Southern-style home cooked breakfast! It was fantastic! We chatted with the other tenants for a while. We went to the winery and spent a good amount of time there. We also stopped off at a really cool water mill on the way. We had a yummy tasting (we tried over 14 wines! this is why Virginia wineries are better! They don't stiff you on the amount of wine!). We drove around for a while, found a place to eat lunch and made a quick stop at Walmart for some necessities. We went to a really neat pizzeria in town and paid a whopping $17.00 total for a dinner for both of us! Oh my gosh! If you have ever lived in the Columbia or DC Metro Area, you can understand our excitement when the bill came. Unbelievable!
Sunday, May 5th - I started thinking ok, well so much for getting engaged. It's not going to happen. Just another weekend... Siiggghh. (Something like that). We chat with the other tenants and the owners for a while and then get on the road. Before we left, the owners told us that we should stop off at the Natural Bridge on the way home since we would be passing it anyways. Well this was awesome, because Dan and I have been talking about going there for years! So we stopped there and had a great time walking around. I'll admit, I was still in a bit of a bad mood because I figured we weren't getting engaged this weekend. I know that Dan could tell I wasn't feeling like myself. When we started walking back towards the bridge (by the way this thing was over 21 stories high! incredible!) Dan started talking about how he was sorry I was in a bad mood and that he loved me a lot...well we say that kind of stuff to each other all the time so I was only really half listening because I was in a bad mood. Dan had to physically grab my arm and pull me back towards him so that he had my full attention. After that it was a bit of a blur and all of a sudden he was holding a ring in his hand and asking me to marry him!! He didn't get on one knee, but the way he asked was very him...and it was perfect for us! He said that I turned bright red and jumped back in shock! Haha. He put the ring on and then we went to go sit down to process it all. Then of course I started asking him over and over about whether I had said yes or not, because I really couldn't remember! Haha!
On the way back home, I called everyone and their mom and then of course facebooked it :)
