Ah, I'm getting married!

When I started this blog, it was kind of a rambling of random stuff - recipes, venting sessions, some life events, and just whatever was on my mind. I always thought that when I'd get engaged, I could turn it into a blog of what was going on with everything involved in planning - so that it could all be documented in some way. And... now I can!

Blair proposed on Saturday,  February 15, 2014. It was over at his sisters place and his 2 nephews were involved - which I knew they would be in some way, shape or form. I started a Wedding Website and included this information about the proposal:

After an already fun-filled day of going to the Kiwanis’s pancake feed and wandering around Costco with my parents for a bit, we headed over to the Keller’s (Blair’s sister Alison and brother-in-law Travis) house around 3:15 or so. We were asked to come over earlier than everyone else who was coming over so that we could get a start on the pizza order, which was our supper before we headed to the Fargo Force hockey game for our annual party there. When we got there, I thought it was weird that the place was really quiet, as usually the kids come and greet us at the top of the stairs… but I guess that wasn’t so unusual. Travis greeted us and said that the boys were in their room while they were getting ready and would be out in a few minutes.

All of the sudden, Owen and Dylan come out dressed to the nines in super adorable suit and tie outfits, and Owen was carrying a gift bag. Blair ushered them over to the living room and had Owen give me the bag, saying that the boys had a present for me. I was told to open the bag, and once I was able to sort through all of the tissue paper, I found the silver box at the bottom.  At this point, Blair was down on one knee, holding the boys on each side of him. I looked at him, and he told me to open it.  I proceeded to open the box and saw the beautiful ring. He told me to put it on and asked, “So what do you say?” I then asked him, “Well, what are you asking me?” “Will you marry me?” I responded with a, “Of course, yes I will!” Then I got hugs from the boys and kissed my fiancé!

We spent the rest of night at the hockey game and Gastropub with family and friends – which was a perfect ending to a perfect day!

I was very surprised, as we had gone and looked at rings a few weeks back... but didn't know when it would happen. Well, sooner than I imagined. Needless to say, I am excited and couldn't be happier.

Here's a pic of the newphews with us after it happened. They were adorable!

He's my lobster. :)
