I know I'm a couple of days late, but date #5 was pretty low-key - we just did some shopping and ordered wings from the place down the street. We watched some TV, laid around, and went to bed. We were tired.
Date #6 is tomorrow, but Todd will be with us (coming in for Thanksgiving), so it'll be another simple one. Next "real" date (#7) is Saturday night...

Oh, I almost forgot date #4!!! It was a good one!
I told her I was working from home, but really I took the day off to prep for our date. While she was at work, I put roses in her car, a CD with instructions on where and when to meet me, plus some of our significant songs, and a change of clothes.
We met in Boston Common at 5 - got some Starbucks, walked around a bit, and then sat down on a park bench near the lake. I was so nervous. It's not that I wanted to get it over with, I just wanted things to be official. I didn't want to call her my girlfriend anymore. I wanted to start celebrating. I wanted her to be wearing it...
I asked her to marry me. She said yes.
We went on to have an extraordinary dinner at Osushi in Copley - great sushi accompanied by great wine. We went to finale for dessert and had some nice treats and a good amount of port. We stayed at the W, in an absolutely awesome suite, and had more wine and champagne. We texted and called friends and family, and told the rest of our circles via facebook. We celebrated.
It was completely unforgettable, and I couldn't be happier right now...
Want to hear more? Sarah will tell you...

Dear Fiancé,
ReplyDeleteI feel that the title of this post is misleading. While it was, in fact, a date night, it was a very, very special date. You presented me with a sparkly bauble after asking me a question and I promised to provide you with never-ending love as well as a never-ending "honey-do" list. I promised to cherish you forever and you promised to love me even when you find pants in the freezer. You promised that you would always be there for me, I promised to remind you of that every August when the heat makes me bonkers.
This was more than a date, this was the beginning of a lifetime of happiness.
Love,
Fiancée
(p.s. I'm so excited!!)
