Ice ice baby.

Okay, so you know how I have been flying a lot? Well I was getting good at it too. And then I trusted an airline employee and just like that it was 10:45 and my plane departed at 10:30. Yeah. So I gave JB a little jingle and that sweet, amazing, loving man drove 9 hours one way to come and pick me up. So for 11 or so hours this was my view.



We turned around and headed back through two more states going straight to work where we both propped our eyelids open with whatever various office supplies we could find. 3:00 rolled around and it was decided we might both pass out if we didn't get some sleep and STAT!

Once back at the house JB asked if I wanted to wash up before hitting the hay because well I always do and I just spent 11 hours in an airport about two hours of that time laying on the floor. I politely declined stating the need for a pillow much greater than that of a clean face. Of course he asked again, you know just to be sure. But of course I just wanted a pillow! So I stumbled down the hall when I was abruptly steered into the bathroom. Of course I was quite befuddled as I stared at an empty sink. And then my tired eyes moved up to the mirror and desperately tried to decipher the hieroglyphics's that decorated the reflective surface, illuminated by candles. Like a ton of bricks I my brain de-scrambled and realized exactly what preceded the question mark.

Now we all know I am smooth and suave and always say the right thing at the right time, so when the first thing out of my mouth was exclaiming "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" I turned to find him on one knee. Around this time I once again forgot my manners and forgot to say yes. Of course I did eventually answer in the affirmative. Lots of hugging and squealing... I mean I was perfectly composed the entire time...

And then I saw this.



Holy sweet mother of pearl! Do you see that thing?


What can I say? I think he loves me.

So there you have it folks. This girl is getting hitched to the most patient, kind, loving and understanding man. I can't even begin to tell you how blessed I am to have him in my life, but to call him mine... now that folks, is something to smile about.
