dave asked me to marry him last night, may 10, 2009...i am truly estatic right now. the excitement has not worn off at all. i had a really hard time getting to sleep last night, and a hard time staying asleep and i'm still wide awake, so that is a good sign.
we were busy all weekend. saturday we went to daves parent's house and gave his mom her mother's day gift and then went for a hike at milton reimer park with thor. this park is VERY dog friendly. either that or they are so new still that they haven't put any "dog must remain on leash" signs anywhere! Thor was able to run and play and explore all on his own. we all went swimming in the river that ran through the park and that was a lot of fun too. after our hike, we headed back to the copelands house and head to the galleria to see Star Trek with Dave's folks.
sunday was mother's day for my mom and my side of the family. dave and i left for san antonio early in the a.m. and spent most of the day at my mama's house and also went to my other grandmother's house to say hello and got to see some aunts as well. there was a big spaghetti lunch and awesome cake. i gave my own mother the family picture frame put together for her and she seemed to enjoy that.
sunday night on the way home dave and i decided to cook-out on the grill by the apartment's pool. when we got to the pool there were a ton of people hanging out still and both of the grills were being used. we swam some, read some and hung out...finally people started leaving and packing up around 8:30 or so and at that time jono, and blair joined us to hang out. we realized that there definately was not going to be enough food so jono and blair left for heb with lexie to pick up some more meat. dave and i decided to hop back in the pool again since the lights had just turned on...little did i know that he had a surprise for me!!! we both were by the pool light when he looked down at the pool bottom, and was like..."what's that at the bottom of the pool?" he went under to get whatever he thought he saw and came up with the ring! i was like, "shut up...shut up." and before i knew it the ring was on my finger and i was crying and laughing and wanting to kill him for leading me to believe he would never ask! lol....so i called my parent's, my brother, kelly, sam and jenny. jono and lexie and blair came back from the store about half an hour later and i was able to share the news with them and we got to eat and hang out and celebrate.
the ring is perfect, i love it, and i love dave, and i'm so excited for us. lots of details to be worked out for how we plan on getting married but we are pretty sure that we have set a date of january 9th, 2010. that's the first check off of our wedding to-do list for now. we want something small, intimate and a TON of fun for everyone. minimal stress.... i can't wait to start looking for the dress!!!
