I'm ENGAGED!

I posted this on my myspace blog, so i'll just copy and paste it here. You will all hear the details on Wednesday anyways. =)

This past Saturday (October 4) Keenan and I headed out to San Francisco to celebrate our 8 year anniversary on the Hornblower dinner cruise...

As we were driving there, Kee asked if I wanted to stop by and say hi to my mom at her work. Thought it was a little weird because when we head out to the Bay, we never really stop by to see her. But I thought it would be fun so she could see him and his new suit. So we went and my mom was all talking about how good he looked. It was a short visit since we had to head into the city by a certain time.

So we get to SF and we're waiting to board the ship. It was super cold and the wind was starting to pick up. I had originally bought a pretty dress to wear but changed my mind and ended up wearing something warmer. Wish I had worn a dress now. As we sat in the car he began talking about when he was going to propose. "I have the time planned out. It has to be the perfect moment." And I smiled and said "I can't wait. I'm soo excited!"

We get on the Hornblower around 700. We sit, order a cocktail and start eating our appetizer which was awaiting us. Polynesian Chicken Fresh Maui Pineapple, Spiced Huli Huli Dipping Sauce, Toasted Macadamia Nuts Served atop a butter lettuce Leaf. Yum.

We sat down and enjoyed each other's company. I tried to take a lot of pictures but it was too dark. He asked if I wanted to get some champagne but I didn't really want to. I had this Green Sun drink that was delish. Green Tea Liquer, Midori, club soda, and lime juice. Then he kept asking if I wanted to dance. I was going to say yes, but then our salads came. Garden Fresh Heirloom Tomatoes Balsamic Vinaigrette, Fresh Basil, Mozzarella di Bufala and Spiced almonds served atop a bed of baby greens. That too was good.

So we sat and watched the crazy old drunk people dance. We met this other younger couple celebrating a birthday so we talked to them a lot. Then dinner came. Kee got the Filet Mignon and I got the Dungeness Crab Stuffed Tilapia.

After dinner Kee wanted to go outside to look at the views off the deck. I wanted to let my food digest first, so we sat some more. I went to the bathroom and came back and told him I was ready to go. So we started walking. I see him look back at the young couple smiling. I thought it was weird, but turned around and kept walking.

So we went to the front of the ship. We were coming up to the Golden Gate Bridge. I was holding on for dear life because the ship started rocking a little because the water near the bridge is pretty rough. The wind was whipping, too! My hair was flying all over the place. So the ship started to turn around. Kee and I walked to the portside of the ship. The wind completely stopped...

So we were looking at the Golden Gate and Kee told me that he loved me so much. I told him I loved him too. He got quiet and I kept looking at the sites. I saw him taking a couple of deep breaths.

"Will you do me a favor?"

Sure! (I'm so retarded now that I think about this)He drops down to one knee and has the ring on his pinky and starts crying...

"Will you marry me?"
All of a sudden the tears start pouring. I crouched down and gave him the biggest hug and said "YES! OF COURSE!!" and he put that gorgeous ring on my finger.

I couldn't believe it. I wanted to cry, laugh, puke. haha Seriously. I've been waiting for this for so long. It was perfect. Then he starts to say..."I had 3 moments planned. I wanted to drop the ring in a glass of champagne, but you don't like champagne! I wanted to do it when we were dancing, but you didn't want to dance. And you ALWAYS want to dance! So my third moment was in front of the Golden Gate Bridge."

I'm always ruining things. haha. But he did it. And we had our perfect moment. And now we're engaged and couldn't be happier. Stay tuned for wedding details. =)
