Super Happy:)
ENGAGEMENT STORY! here it is folks.
Well as of April 7, we have been dating for four years. FOUR years. Now just try and tell me that this is just a silly high-school relationship. Beginning as the best of friends and discovering that we really can't just live without each other, we've known for a while that we would always be the best of friends with the benefit of being each others spouse.
This most recent April 7th was a good one I'll tell yah!
Earlier in the week we had decided (at least I like to think I had something to do with the planning, but Miles had it all planned out way ahead of time) that we would go to downtown Charlottesville, Virginia to spend our day of out 4th year. Around 11am that morning, cute miles shows up with beautiful roses and a smile on his face. He smoothly suggests that we hang out around Lynchburg lest we wear out our stay in the little downtown strip of Charlottesville. So we head out to the Muse Coffee shop to get some pre-car trip caffeine and to have a much needed relaxing chat. Its the first time in a while we have actually gotten to just sit, be still with each other and not have to run to class, pressure of homework or going to work. I sipped on a Red Tea Party Latte (yum) and Miles had his Caramel Latte.
We eventually decide to head to the car and start moving towards our destination!
Once in Charlottesville, Miles takes me to the beautiful store, Anthropology, that I had really been wanting to look around in. Poor guy, he suffered the whole perfumed and high priced store just for me! But we made our way downtown and looked in a few little shops here and there. Including a weird cat shop where a lady yelled at us for taking pictures. Around four Miles says little things like "lets go this way" or something like that. We came to the front of The Melting Pot eventually! Oh, that place is just great. Miles had reserved the fancy private seating which included a room and a table for just us two. The folks at the Melting Pot even gave us an anniversary card along with a balloon and a photo frame for us.We had an absolutely scrumptious meal which included "still water" which Miles didn't realize actually meant super expensive bottled water. Haha!
After a luxurious meal we waddled out to the car where we put our ballon and Miles grabbed his backpack, which Miles explained that it contained my anniversary present.We then walked over to Spendora's Gelato. Dont judge. Yes we just ate a huge meal, but we've made a tradition out of it. :) Well at the end of the little downtown strip of Charlottesville, theres a huge outdoor amphitheater. This theater became more and more breathtakingly awesome as we walked inside it all by ourselves. We got to the stage and hopped up to finish our ice cream. Miles looks at me and says "want your anniversary present?" Of course I did. From his backpack he handed me a huge gold paper wrapped amazon textbook box. It was heavy. It was reaaaally heavy, I later found out that he put bricks in the box to throw me off. I opened the box and found this note...
And I looked over and he was on his knee and asked the most sweet question. Tearssssss. Of course I said yes! After some awesome time of saying "fiance!" a million times over and just enjoying every moment, Miles says "hey, lets wait till we get to the car to tell everyone." Alright thats ok with me. Then we get to the car and he then says that itd be nice to have the ride home without being bombarded by phone calls and such. Little did I know just what else was hiding up Miles' sleeve. Our other friend Christian calls miles and lets him know he needs to pick up his guitar from church. Thinking nothing of it all, I agree and go along with it all. Surprise! When we get to the church our families and close friends have all shown up at our engagement party that Miles collaborated with friends of ours, Dave and Holly, along with his sweet mom.
terrific. day.
