Well, I would have to say that Nick did one heck of a job making my Golden Birthday memorable...he asked me to marry him. Yep, it's true. After six and a half years of dating Nick and I are going to tie the knot.
The entire thing was actually very sweet. We went out to a wonderful dinner at Spindletop. After dinner Nick said we needed to go to the mall to pick out a pair of earrings for my birthday. After purchasing a beautiful pair of diamond and amethyst hoops, we headed for home. I wanted to go ahead and put my earrings in, but he said I had to unwrap a gift for my Golden Birthday! He went into the office when we got home and wrapped it up. He then put a candle in a donut and sang Happy Birthday. When I opened my earring box, he had somehow managed to put an engagement ring in it without me knowing (tricky tricky...) He got down on his knee, told me how much he loved me and would I marry him. I, of course, burst into tears and said yes...so, we are now planning a wedding!
We are getting married on October 21st of next year. We have no idea what church we are using (guess we need to get on that) but we do know it will be an evening wedding and the reception will be at Spindletop. That is all we have for now.
I tried to take some pictures of my ring, but my camera just didn't have the zoom for it and the flash kept making the entire thing look like a large ball of light. Sorry. It is truly amazing! Nick had it designed, so it is one of a kind. very cool. I guess everyone will have to wait until they can see it in person!!
