engagement...

Alright so I know you have heard by now...I am officially getting married!!! I could not be happier!!! Shaun is one of the best things...actually no, he IS the best thing that has ever happened to me! The other day we were just saying how crazy it is to know that we were meant to find each other. Then we started to wonder if we had ever crossed paths when we were younger, or even older, and just never given each other a second look. Then suddenly, everything changes and we find ourselves head over heels in love! It's crazy how this world works!!! Anyway, now to the proposal. We had been talking for weeks about getting married, so I knew it was going to happen. I knew he had bought a ring, it was just a matter of when he would ask. He had me TOTALLY convinced that he didn't pick it up on the 19th, the day it was ready, because they had "issues" with it. I was going to spend the weekend with him at his aunts while she was in Hawaii and he was dog sitting. He text me and asked if I would be up for going to the city on Saturday, Oct 23rd. I LOVE the city, and something about walking hand in hand with the love of your life just makes it even more amazing. Of course I jumped at the idea to spend the day in San Fran with Shaun. As we were riding on BART, he said something like, "sorry I don't have a ring to give you yet. It upsets me that they didn't have it ready". I told him that I had pretty much forgotten about it and that it was totally fine. He seemed shocked that I hadn't asked about it since I had been with him. Anyway, we went to see Jackass 3D (that is my FAVORITE part about our engagement story because it is TOTALLY us!) It got over close to 8 and we walked over to the cheesecake factory. It was almost a 2 hour wait so Shaun said we should go outside and go walk around Union Square. I was hesistant at first because it was raining. However, when we went outside, it stopped raining. So a walking we went and suddenly I found myself standing in the direct middle of Union Square. It was dark, and everything was lit up so pretty. He started to act a little weird/uncomfortable and I asked him what was wrong. He said he was just nervous. I was sooo confused! I thought he was nervous about dinner for some reason (good thing I have NO common sense) and he just chuckled and said, "no, I just have never done this before". Seriously?!? It's dinner!!! LMAO...anyway, next thing I know he says the best thing I have ever heard. "Stephanie, I liked getting to know you as a person, I have loved getting to know you as my girlfriend, and I can't wait to get to know you as my wife." And then BAM...out comes ...

THE RING!!! WHAT?!? I will admit, I was saying, "shut up" over and over again and hitting him because I was soooo stunned. I do believe it was a good few minutes when he nicely said, "umm babe, you haven't answered me" HA...oh yeah, about that...OF COURSE!!! Then we kissed, and I said, "would you be mad it I pulled out my phone right now". Thank goodness for his mind because he quickly said, "I think you should pull out your camera first". After a few phone calls, texts, and lots of hugs and kisses, we found ourselves back inside waiting for dinner. When I looked back out again, it had begun to rain once more. I like to think of the weather as this. My dad had the rain stop so this could happen--his way of showing that he approves--and then it began to rain again because he was sad that his little girl is growing up! Whether or not that's true, it what I think in my lovely little mind. So there you have it folks...one day next year I will be Stephanie Marie Lezer...and I can not wait for that day to come!!! :)
