Mrs. To-Be

Happy New Year, Ya'll!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year's Eve/Day. I was able to spend loads of time with family at Disneyland, an evening with my favorite girls, and a day or two of Christmas at home. I then returned to San Francisco for a few days of work and had my first fantastic New Year's Eve!

I had work that evening until 9pm. Dave told me to save room for dinner, as he was preparing something special for us at his place. There were a few hints as to what was about to occur as I walked in the door. His beard was trimmed. Flowers on the table. A glass of wine and a lit candle. (aww). But I didn't think much more of it than any other day. He does sweet things all the time. We feasted on the best tacos I've ever had. And just as we were walking out the door to go to a friend's house, Dave suggested that we write down our new year's resolutions on some index cards. (so that we could rip them up as soon as the resolution is completed). We each wrote down three and shared with each other when we were done. He read his third one last, "Make Megan Joy my wife" and proceeded to do the whole shabang of telling me lovey dovey things, getting on one knee and handing me a ring. I whispered "yes" somewhere in there and cried my eyes out while asking, "Did you ask my dad!?!" And, of course, he had. He went ring shopping with his mom in San Diego in November and kept it all a big secret.

The ring is gorgeous; the moment was perfect & unexpected; and I am ecstatic.
I love my David James.

Here are some photos:

This is David before proposing. I thought he was just taking silly pictures. Turns out it was a legitimate emotion!

Here we are together just moments before... dressed up a little for New Year's Eve.

And David with the ring he bought himself. :)
