So, this has been a pretty good Christmas! After finally getting back to Seattle despite the snow and my subsequent emotional breakdowns (sorry Linds), I finally made it back in one piece. Michael and I spent a nice Christmas Eve together and then had a great Christmas. We went for a walk in the snow which was fun and opened presents. It was a perfect first Christmas together even though we were far from home. However, the next day got even better when Michael proposed. I think the ring was burning a hole in his pocket. He said he thought about it for 24 hours straight and even debated waking me up in the middle of the night to do it. However, he decided that was not a great idea because 1) I don't deal well with being woken up and 2) I might not remember.
Anyways, he instead decided to do it the morning after Christmas. I looked lovely in my robe and towel let me tell you (that's why we don't have pictures). I went to get coffee that morning and Michael told me I had something else in my stocking. The next thing I knew I was holding a ring and Michael was proposing. It was definitely something I will always remember. Then of course I had to go to work, haha. That night we went to a restaurant in Lacey to celebrate. Below is a picture of my fiance at dinner ...please tell me if I should be worried! I told him ....it wasn't the end of the world, just the end of his, haha.
