WIW ~ The Day He Proposed


what I wore ~ the day he proposed.


[ps.  that Beautiful Preggo girlie to my left is the One and Only Fabulous Rindy Mae.  She's my Real Life blog friend, and she is Hilarious and her food is to DIE FOR.  She made a Crackly Pear Cake (find it in her post today right here) for the xmas party and it was pure mouth Heaven.  She's Amazing! And her diy projects.. don't get me started.]


me.  at my 3rd Kiknbaque Xmas party

Last Saturday was the "Kiknbaque" Christmas party thrown every year by Rhett's closest friends.  We eat food, play games, and have a gift exchange.  Every year Rhett's BF Sherwin, "Alex T", hosts a Boys vs. Girls Jeopardy game.  The categories include Math, Geography, Name the Song & Artist, Current Events, Physical Challenge, and a new category this year: "WTH".  Sherwin picked up a Suzanne Somers Thigh Master some where along the way, and this year's Physical Challenge was reps of thigh crunches. It was completely unflattering, but completely hilarious.  And, I'm just going to go ahead and say it, and you will see for yourself at the end of this post, I killed the thigh master challenge. ;)

jeopardy went to a whole new level this year. 

The last round of Jeopardy this year was the "WTH" column.  "Alex T" was in charge and dictated who sat in the chair and was blindfolded by their significant other and had to taste, touch, or smell something and guess what it was to score the points.

I was the very last to sit in the chair, and the score was Boys: 7,500, Girls 7,400.  I was so friggin worried that I was going to blow the game for the girls.  You have no idea.  I whispered to Rhett when he was blindfolding me "omg babe, what if I blow it".  He said "don't worry about it babe".  Ya.  Easy for him to say.

I was sitting there blindfolded, waiting for some foreign tasting food to be put in my mouth, and fretting the entire time that I won't guess what it was, and that I would blow the game for the girls, and it will be my fault for the entirety of 2012 that the boys won and the girls lost, and I'll admit, I was very caught up in my dark, blindfolded world where I was in between worrying and praying I'd get this right, when some piano music came on [Edward at Sunrise ~ Twilight. Click Here to listen, it is absolutely Beautiful] and I hear someone joke about "what's this music- someone bring out a ring" ....

.... and all of the sudden I hear Rhett's voice start rolling sentence by sentence and my frantic worrying thoughts about losing the game for the girls crash to a stop as I start frantically trying to figure out if this is part of a joke, or if Rhett is really saying what he is saying, and then I hear him say "will you Marry Me", and I said "can I take my blindfold off, I need to take the blindfold off... "  and then I saw him, and saw the ring, and I about died and hung on to him for dear life and finally my mouth caught up with my heart and I answered, "Yes. Yes. Yes!"  

what?!? 
take this off, get this off!

babeeeey !?!?!!!

sweet happiness.

told ya.  ;)
