apparently I make really good eggs...

Last Thursday stared off like any other day the only exception being it was Fiance's birthday. We stuck to our usual routine. Fiance gets up and hops in the shower, I get up make coffee, his lunch and breakfast. This morning I made one of his favorites; eggs over easy, sausage and wheat toast. While he eats he watches Sports Center while I tidy up the kitchen. We decide because I am going to meet him for lunch that I will go ahead and drive him to work this morning. Normal morning chit chat continues, nothing seems out of the ordinary. That is until I head to the bedroom to make the bed. It is then that Fiance intercepts me. He pulls me into an embrace and following exchange went a little something like this... Fiance: I like waking up next to you. Me: I like waking up next to you too. (I try to back out of the embrace) F: You made really good eggs this morning. M: ummmm...okay (I try to back away again...I mean I have an unmade bed to make) F: I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I give him a "whatchoo talkin' about Willis" look as he pulls a white box out of his pocket, did he buy me some earrings or maybe a necklace? F: With that being said...(he drops to one knee)...will you marry me? He opens the box, I see the ring, and I lose it. Tears streaming down my face I nod and mouth the word yes. He slips the ring on my finger which is followed by lots of hugging, kissing, and more tears. He had been planning this since February. We had never even gone to look at rings together. He had enlisted the help of my friend Jenn to run reconnaissance to find out what styles and cuts I liked and my ring size. They referred to the surprise mission as Operation Busty Housewife which is based off of one of my tweets. And boy did he catch me by surprise. He had been talking about taking a trip this fall and I thought that he would pop the question then. Turns out he was just trying to throw me off the track. He did an awesome job and I love my ring. Fiance isn't always all that romantic; but this was better than anything I could have asked for. I am looking forward to the happily ever after.

Today is Fiance's Birthday

Today Fiance turned the big Three Five. We went bowling at the Garage with our friends Pete, Tasha, Deepa and Gabe (yes we finally have some friends) helping us celebrate. I made a black forest cake that was so sweet it sent us all into a sugar coma but did not stop us from polishing off three quarters of the cake. Although he had some stiff competition from Pete; Fiance ended up being the best bowler of the night with a high score of 219. It is possible that Pete let him win...being his birthday and all.

So I am sure that you have picked up on the fact that I am now referring to Boyfriend as Fiance. More on that to come...

Thug Story

Admittedly I don't make it a habit to listen to country music. Boyfriend would be the country music liker in the house. I think that is because he is from Texas and there is some law there that you have to like country music and eat BBQ. Do I have a few country songs in my iPod? Yes. Every once in a while you come across a great song that just happens to be from the country genre; like Lullaby by the Dixie Chicks.

In the last couple of months I have downloaded some songs by Taylor Swift. She sings sweet songs about the things she knows and that are relevant to a girl her age. With all the craziness involving young girls it the spot light, Taylor is actually someone a parent would not mind their daughter looking up to. I caught a Dateline special on her last week and was amazed at how grounded she is for a girl who has attained so much fame. I also like the fact that while being so savvy she also has a sense of humor.
