Our Engagement Story!! A happier blog for today!!!!

Alright every one...I have already established I want a wedding and I've had a mini break down about my photography options and wants!! But now I want to go ahead and post about my sweet engagement story!! (Heres a picture of my beautiful breath taking heart breakinly beautful love that now lives on my LEFT finger!!)

So on Friday February 25, 2011 my Peachyo asked me to go for a walk with him at the water front in Suisun, which is not out of the ordinary for us, we go take walks there all the time. Exspecially when things get rough and we need to clear our heads. So I said yes of course, I was feeling a little stir crazy after being coouped up in the house for awhile. My grandma was doing good and made sure she didn't have an issues with it before I left. I had to check in on my cousins because their parents were out of town, so he asked me to pick him up. I agreed not reasling that at his parents house he had his car, and I had to drive into Vacaville to get him. We drove back down to Suisun to take our walk...in the process of the drive I gave him his early anniversary gift. A chococlate Ninento DSIXL. He didn't seem to thrilled by it, which I thought he would be because well thats what he talked about for a bout a month saying he wanted!! We got to the water wrong, all bundled up in our heavy coats and scarfs because it was BEAUTIFUL outside as the sun was setting, but the wind chill was up and it was COLD! We started oppisite of the way we normally go to be able to watch the sunset. Nothing was odd or not ordinary. We talked about our days, his kids in class, my day with my grandma. We walked over to "Our" light house, we often make jokes about it and enjoy sitting in the car while its cold and icy or even wet outside watching it work. I wrapped myself around his and inside his coat because it was bitter cold!! We watched the sunset go down,whispered I love yous and made little jokes. Then he tried to break free of me and I wouldn't let him because it was FREEZING and I didn't want to loose his body heat. He kept telling me that if I let him go it would be worth it he promised!! After 2 or 3 times of telling me that I finally let him go....And that is when he got down on one knee and pulled out a little black box and asked me "Will You Marry Me" I like every stunned woman sat there stuttering..Omg Omg are you kidding me omg...omg...and then YES put it on!! Hugs and kisses were called for and I once again told him yes in his hear!! And then I finally registered and looked at the beautiful ring on my hand...and oh my is my ring beautiful!! He picked out the ring that I've wanted my whole life and didn't even know it!! Everything about it says "Whitney" We finishe our walk...stop every few steps to admire my beautiful ring and try to grasp the concept that we were officially engaged. We made it to my car after a few minutes and got in...frozen to the bone, cranked up the heat and headed to my house! When we got in the door we were greated by my at the moment chatty grandmother, and to be honset with you I could not tell you what it was she was talking about but we talked about it for a good 5 miuntes. While she was talking I placed my ring box, that was currenly housing my promise ring on my side of the table, and let her continue talking. When she realised I had a shit eating grin on my face and she couldnt figure why, she then noticed there was a ring box on the table. She looked at me, looked at the box, looked at me...and finally I pulled my hand out of my pocket and showed her my ring!!! She got tearied eye'd took Peachyo's hand and mind with hers and told us congradulations and how happy she was for the two of us. My aunt came over to bring my grandma pizza we accwardly announced out engagment to them. I made one of my two phone calls of the evening to share the good news and then we headed out to eat.First stopping off at my best friends house to share the good news and show off my beauty!! We decided on Olive Garden one of his favorites for dinner, and the place of work one of my good friends who didn't have to be workign that evening. She was my second phone call. I explained the good news and recapped everything and we then went in and enjoyed our meal. A lovely little blonde called in a bottle of champagne to be sent to our table which was sweet. I couldn't think straight to order, and was not at all hungry so dinner flew by! We each enjoyed a half glass of champange at the restraunt and took the rest of it over to his parents to celebrate with them! And that is our engagement story!! <3 So very simple, and fullll of suprise! I couldn't have asked for ANYTHING better...or a better man to spend the rest of my life with. I may get cought up in all worries of money, and technacalites of a wedding but at the end of every night when I lay down my head to sleep I am so thankful for him and can not wait to be Mrs. PeachyO Harrigan!
