A Year Ago Today...

December 9th 2012.

Our birthday weekend. Mine is the 8th his is the 9th. Browns vs. Chiefs tickets and photo opp. on the field after the game. (Birthday present from the hubby!)

What a day! We got up early to get ready for the Browns game. We usually leave around  10am to get up there and tailgate for a bit before the game. Dan ended up locking the keys in the trunk and we had to wait for AAA to come and save the day. I did notice, when we were finally in the car and on our way, that Dan was all red and splotchy. I told him to take a deep breath and calm down. It was fine, we were on our way.

We got up to Cleveland in time to eat an awesome meal while tailgating. (Steak and such) We had an awesome time at the game. Cleveland won! I was so excited that we were actually going down onto the field after the game! I'll never forget walking down into the tunnel. (It was the tunnel that the away teams come out of.) The lady that was "in charge" asked me if I was excited. I told her I was so excited I wanted to run out on the field and take a dive and slide on the grass! (It was raining, just a slight drizzle!) She told me she would not advise it. I might get arrested!! Good to know!

We were with a couple of our football friends and some other season ticket holders but I made sure that Dan and I were first in line for pictures. We were standing on the 10 yard line getting ready to have our picture taken when Dan kind of pushes away from me and gets down on one knee, with a ring, in a box! I know he said some words but I didn't hear any of them. I didn't even say yes! All I could do was cover my face! He was like well are you going to say yes or what!? Lol!

I was totally caught off guard, which to me is the perfect proposal! I mean obviously we had talked about where our future was headed but when the person you love goes above and beyond to make that moment the most special, most memorable moment, well I'm still speechless about it!

 So a year ago today my best friend (gross cliche I know, but it's true!) asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, and I said yes! We got married on August 31st 2013 and I could't be happier!

He did an awesome job on the ring if I do say so myself!

I love that man!

Btw... The reason he was so stressed out and red and splotchy was because he locked the ring in the trunk with the keys... Not to mention he was about to propose! lol!
