Goin' to the chapel...
10.28.2006I know I don't post on my blog very often, but I have a pretty blog-worthy event to share. And you probably have guessed what it is because of the title of my post. Hee heee heeee.
Today after work, I went home to change and get ready to go to Winnipeg and Darcy was already there waiting for me. We went to Winnipeg to try to get some Christmas shopping done and I tried to find pants. We ate supper in the food court - I had to beg Darcy to eat there...he wanted to go to the Keg, but I insisted I wanted to eat in the food court. He kept asking me if I was SURE I didn't want to go to the Keg, but I said "It's not like this is a special date or anything, we are just shopping, let's just go eat at the food court."
After we scarfed down our Sizzling Wok, Taco Time and Booster juices we went to Canadian Tire and then to Tim Hortons like we always do. As we were waiting in line I said that I wasn't sure if I wanted anything (which NEVER happens!) I just wasn't feeling it. Darcy then said I should really get a coffee - I'd regret it if I didn't. So, I ordered the usual large 2 cream 1 sugar and he got an Ice Cap with cream. On the way home I spilled my coffee all over my hand and on my pants and it was really hot.
After we go out, it's just default that we go to my house but this time Darcy asked "Do you want to go to my house or yours?" I said I didn't care and he said "Well, let's go to my house" and that is when I got a little suspicious.
When we go his house he asked if I wanted to go out and look at the stars. I replied "It's cloudy!" (apparently I didn't make anything easy for his this evening!) and he said "No it's not!" So we went out with the sleeping bags and went out to the field and lay in the back of his truck and looked at the stars. After 15 minutes we started to get really cold so I stood up and was about to jump off the back of the truck but I looked at Darcy first and he said "Hold on, don't leave yet!"
Then I knew what was up.
He pulled out a little blue box and asked me to marry him. I stood there and was quiet for a little bit and then said "Oh! This is weird!! Of course I'll marry you! Oh this is weird, no no no, a good weird, but this is weird!!" We hugged & kissed and then got back in the truck and I started asking a million questions about what we should do next, who we should call and details about when he got the ring, how long he had had it etc.
We went back to his house and right away when we opened the door his dad was just standing there. I was cheezing the biggest cheeze ever and I just kept walking to Darcy's room because I wanted Darcy to be the one to tell him! Darcy came inside and asked where his mom was and then she was in the bathroom soaking her feet. So we were standing in Darcy's doorway to his room and his dad was standing by the stairs - he knew something was up. I wanted to go tell Lisa, but Darcy figured we should wait until his mom knew. Finally his mom came down, all smiles, and said "Is it what I think it is?" We both just smiled and then I showed her the ring. I went to tell Lisa and then I called my mom & dad to come over to Darcy's parents house. Then we did a lot phoning around, spreading the news, and now it is 1:05am and we are at Am & Erik's and I have to coach v-ball tomorrow at 8am.
We are deliriously happy and planning our wedding for Saturday April 21st, 2007.
I don't know how many people still read my blog, but I'm going to try to become a better blogger from now on :)
