Feed Me, I’m Cranky –

Hey guys!

I mentioned it briefly in my Expo West recap, but I want to document it here so that when I’m old and suffering from memory loss, I can come here and troll for glimpses into these special moments

This past Sunday, my boyfriend and I celebrated our 7th anniversary. It was the Sunday after Expo West, so all I wanted to do was lounge around. He got me a fancy new beach cruiser as a gift and we went to drop off my old bike at my mom’s since she didn’t have one. There were no signs that he was going to propose, except for one little thing: he did not get me a card.

He always gets me a card and writes me a long message because he knows that’s my thing–something I absolutely love and treasure. I thought maybe he would wait until bedtime to give me the card. So there was a little tiny feeling that maybe, just maybe, there was something else to come.

We watched one of our favorite movies, Princess Bride, ate at our favorite restaurant and hung around lazily as we’re wont to do on Sundays.

I got ready for bed. He came to follow me along with the dogs, which is our typical ritual. I crawled under the covers. Brought Kahlua and Lucy onto the bed with me. He leaned in to kiss me per usual, told me he loved me. Paused.

And then said, “which is why…”

He pulled something out from underneath my pillow and finished his sentence, “I’d like to ask if you’d spend your life with me?”

I didn’t even look at the ring. Just hugged and hugged him.

He finally had to ask, “is that a ‘yes?’” And I said, “of course!”

I hugged and hugged him again.

He had to ask if I wanted to put the ring on since it seemed furthest from my mind.

I put it on. Fit like a glove, which isn’t a surprise seeing as he brought home a ring-sizer and literally measured my ring finger months and months ago. He’s not one for subtlety. I love that about him.

I’m happy.

I’m not one for traditional stuff (and neither is he), so I’m not sure if we’ll have a wedding.

All I know is we’ve been a partnership for 7 years now and he’s been the family to me that I always wanted and never knew could possibly exist.

So, I welcome this new chapter in our book of love and will keep you posted
