9 years and Counting

I'm just going to start by saying that this has been a really great weekend so far.

For a little background, Nick and I have been navigating the world of boyfriend-girlfriend coupledom for nine years today.

Last night, we decided we'd go out for a nice dinner at Smokey's Steakhouse and I had a delicious Peanut Butter Cup ice cream/alcoholic drink to start the night. I ordered an 8 oz. fillet mignon and it came with a salad, clam chowder soup (which was surprisingly not super creamy), a relish dish, bread, and French Fries.

The steak was utterly divine. It was cooked exactly right and just about melted like butter under my steak knife (Apologies to my vegetarian/vegan friends to the descriptions.)

I asked Nick if we could stop at the video store on our way home and he agreed. We picked up a copy of The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt and headed for home.

When we arrived home, I asked if he wanted to start the film right away and he said we should wait a little bit so I booted up the computer and started checking emails and Facebook.



A few minutes into this, Nick announced: "Since it's our anniversary, I got you a little something."

Now, this was a bit odd because Nick and I have long established that we'll just do a combined "big" present for each other for our anniversary and Christmas instead of two small things.

Of course, he chose that moment to pull out a ring box.

My response: "Is that what I think it is? Is that what I think it is?"

Followed by tears.

Nick said: "Yes."

I kissed him and said: "Yes."

I am now a fiancee, you guys!

I was quite excited about the Peanut Butter Cup (sounds delicious), but your news under the cut kind of beats that! Congratulations to you both.

I am so so so so so so so happy for you two!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it sounds typically Nick that he could just play it cool like that, LOL. And the ring is truly gorgeous! I admit I was hoping your Christmas present was going to be a ring, just based on the conversations we've had this year!!

Congratulations!!!!!! That is such wonderful news. The ring is gorgeous. Can't wait to see it in person. I take it you had no idea this was coming? {{bouncing hug}}

Happy Anniversary, too.

Thank you, hun!

Nick is totally the type to play if cool.

As for Christmas, Nick and I have always had the no-cliches-on-holidays rule. I guess he's had the ring for a month and was going to ask between now and Christmas. I think he did the right thing.

I'm very excited!

PS. I love your icon. Amy and Rory are adorable.

You totally should have called me. :D It wouldn't have been weird at all. I can't wait to see it in person, and hopefully meet Nick!
