So don't ya'll just LOVE LOVE LOVE my adorable hubby and the way he so dramatically tells you I tried to kill him? Hey what can I say I got some Zoom Zenner in me (long standing inside family joke. Sorry I know nobody gets it but I'm not going to explain here, it just has to do w/ my Grandpa), I was late, and I HATED driving the almost 45 minutes from my job to the dreaded ex's house only to be there all night in retched pain and loathing every minute. (oh my 2 drama queens in one marriage. HA everybody knows I am top drama queen) Anywho, now we can move on to our engagement!
Dating blissfully for almost a year the summer of '06 I started itching to get engaged. I was seriously psycho about it. I would email Steve rings from various websites almost daily. Ha I'm sure the bank LOVED that right? Everywhere I would go I would see not-so-pretty-girls/women with huge rocks on and husband tagging along at their side. And honest to God I would ALWAYS say "Why are they married and NOT me?" Ha. I would say it to whoever I was with at the time. My sis, my girlfriends, but mainly Steve. If it was a dozy I would even remember to describe the girl (in full ACCURATE detail of course. Not as to dramatize the situation and make it worse then it really was) to Steve later to let him know how much I NEEDED to be married like these uglier-then-me-girls/women. Ha. I am so not a nice person right?

I am so not a nice person right?
Anywho, after a couple months of driving Steve crazy with rings/marriage stories he finally shut me up by telling me he had BOUGHT the ring (OK it also might have been a psycho break down moment where I told him he wasn't committed to me and he didn't love me. But I digress). Ohmigosh I freaked! So this was in July, when was I going to get the freaking then? My Birthday in August? Our 1st year of dating in September?? Nope freaking Christmas. Ha. The longest 5 months of my LIFE. I never uttered a word of it to Steve just waited "patiently", ask my friends they will give you a different story. I was obsessed. Everywhere I went I looked at people's fingers to see if they had weddings rings on (OK OK maybe I was doing this years before and still do it to this day. Forgive me), talked about when/if/how I was getting the ring to anybody and everybody that would listen, and planned our whole wedding in our head. Every time Steve would write a "Date night" on our wipe off calendar on the fridge I would freak, and every time I would be let down. Not to say I didn't LOVE my man and love date nights but I would get so excited. So fast forward to December 22nd, we had a date night on Friday the 22nd. He told me we were going to go to dinner (don't remember where he said we were going sorry), and then we were going to see the movie The Holiday which I had only been begging him to see for oh like 2 months. So I get home from work (then a Nanny) to find a GORGEOUS bouquet of my favorite flowers in the world, Tulips on the kitchen table! Totally gorgeous! Since it was the Holiday's Steve was off work early of course and had pre-ordered them at a store in his building! (actually to make the story EVEN longer, but it's my blog and I'll story if I want to. He called me that afternoon to "chat" and casually asked me what me and the kids were doing that afternoon. Now he had never done that before, although we talked several times a day much to his chagrin but I always just told him he never asked. But yet I still didn't think anything of it. Turns out he ordered the flowers and had them delivered to the house of the family I nannied for, had to call at the last minute and get them delivered to him at work because me and the kiddies went to Pizza Machine and were gone all day so I wouldn't have gotten the delivery anyway! Oh my this made my day, all my life all I have ever wanted is flowers delivered to me at work! (oh and a man in a blue suit with a blu.....oh we already covered that) He still claims this time counted but um hello so doesn't. Now back to your regularly scheduled blog)
So I get ready and he stays in his nice casual Friday work clothes and we changed our plans to go to Chili's since the family I nanny for gave me a big fat gift card for Christmas there. So bam I know NOTHING special is going to happen like a ring in the desert or something super cheesy and unlike Steve, if he could change the dinner plans like that. So on we go to Chili's. We are talking about our days and (I MUST stop here; fore warning to any of my fellow preggo/weak stomach bloggers skip this part. I know I will get in BIG trouble but honestly you MUST know this to know the story cuz it does play a big part. Steve had been battling stomach issues. We found out he is lactose intolerant and was NOT feeling well a lot of times and was "stinky" or had BAD poopies as I put it a LOT lately) he started telling me oh so lovely over the dinner table how sick he had been all day. Oh joy. Of course he was trying to tell me it was from the pop he drank for lunch, and sitting in front of him on the dinner table was a fresh pepsi. Oh joy. So we get through dinner, very uneventful, we have like almost 2 hours until the movie starts and no idea what to do. He suggested Target my favorite store in the world but we all know what I can be like once I get in Target, spend $ I don't have, walk all over and drive that boy up the wall! So we decided against that. We thought about going home but I knew once we get home we wouldn't want to go out again. When all the sudden he thinks another "bout" is coming on and we must rush home right away. Ugh I am NOT a happy Girl. :( So we go home and I put on my most LOVELY sweat pants and matching hoodie and sulk on the couch. Meanwhile he shuts the bedroom door and the bathroom door for good measure. Ugh I was NOT happy. Ha. I'm yelling at him through all the doors about how he ruined my date night w/ his stinkiness, and he BETTER make it up to me, and I still HAD to go see that movie! So he comes out and there are like a million candles all over the room and a cd playing w/ our song on it. Awwwww! He was lying! So he brings me a HUGE box all wrapped in pretty silver stripped wrapping paper. So I look at him bright eyed but not surprised. See in the Sessions family we do not wait until the actual day of the celebration; i.e. Birthday, Anniversary's, Christmas to give presents you just give it to the person as soon as you get tired of waiting and are to excited. I could very much elaborate on this but I'll save it for another post.

So I start to open the box and inside is yet ANOTHER wrapped box. I start laughing and start to open that, and wouldn't you guess what was inside THAT box?? Another box, unwrapped, then inside that was ANOTHER box wrapped, and inside that was the ring box wrapped up. So I have paper and junk everywhere and the Dog is freaking out trying to eat all the paper and rip it out of my hands. Ha. Made for much excitement. As I start to open the ring box I look and he is on his knee (which is also a feat since he has had knee surgeries on both knees and if you rub a feather on them he winces in pain. Needless to say I always thought he would SIT and ask me not actually kneel!) I started crying and in barely a whisper he tells me how in love with me he is and if I would be his wife? Oh my it was so so amazing! The next couple hours were spent cuddling, calling family (I think his Mom blew out his ear drum), and texting every person in my phone book on my cell! So so so exciting! I love you Honey and thank you for always thinking of me and making that night one of the best ever! You are the Love of my life!
P.S. I eventually forgave him for not taking me to see my movie. It's one of the best ever I own it now and I highly recommend you go and rent it today!
Thank you for visiting our blog! lol cheesey but I love it!
My "engagement" flowers. I heart them
