On August 22, 2007, Tyson proposed and ever since we've been on a wild journey. Just in the past six months we've both got new jobs in Birmingham, bought a new car, got engaged, planned a wedding, and just recently bought our first new home. The wedding count down has started and we want to share this crazy journey with you!!
The story.........
August 22, 2007 at 7:44pm we got engaged!!
Wednesday night, our usual "date night," I was prepared for a nice dinner at a great Italian restaurant, but got so much more! Our dates nights are usually fun or really sweet, Tyson always does a great job planning and surprising me. This Wednesday, Tyson had two dozen roses for me when I arrived at the house. I changed out of my work clothes, only learning then, that I had forgotten to grab a pair of jeans and couldn’t find my shoes, so mis-matched we went on. We went to eat at a wonderful Italian place, very romantic with a piano player, candles, ect. We had been to this specific restaurant, Leonardo’s, many times before with the great atmosphere. This time, however, we were sat in a bright window seat and loud, older people beside us. It was kind of funny, but I could tell Tyson had that slight disappointed look. After dinner we were headed home, I thought, and Tyson realized he had left his Costa-sunglasses, so we went back (bless his heart, so nervous) Then we left out again, but we didn't turn towards home. Tyson drove me up to the Vulcan, on top of Birmingham just as the sun was setting. We had been there before, so I just thought he was being sweet. I love the view from up there! As we walked up the pathway, there was a table covered in ice, with drinks, and a plate full of chocolate covered strawberries (Tyson made them himself.) We got up to the table and Tyson started to tell me how much he loved me and how he wanted to be the best man he could be for me and us. He went on and as I started crying, he got down on one knee and proposed. Well... I said YES!!
So save the date: April 19, 2008!!
