A little intro:

Its been an amazing new year...
Things in our life have changed dramatically...
Were better than ever...
happier than ever...
more in love than ever...
and its amazing.
I couldnt ask for anything more...
And Wednesday 2-11-09 @ 11:11pm
Zaq proposed...
it was perfect.
He had a car pick me up @ 3pm...
*By the way, thanks to everyone who lied to me for 3 days straight... haha*
So yeah, the car...
Got tricked into getting into the car by his mom...
I thought we were going to get our hair done...
well, I got in the car, she shut her door...
waved good bye... and I went... alone.
We ended up at Jon Olman salon...
I got my hair cut and done all pretty like...
my eyebrows waxed... thank god...
After Laurie spent a good 1.5 hours trying to convince me even more that she didnt know.
It was back into the car for the next stop...
the DRIVER didnt even know where I was going... just an address...
we stopped @ the W.
For those of you that dont know... its like, the coolest hotel in Minneapolis.
After standing in the lobby for a bit Zaq came up behind me...
scared me...
and asked if I was lost... haha ass...
So we went up to the room (awesome)
on the 21st floor...(more awesome)
and opened a bottle of champagne (awesomest)
While I tried to settle my nerves, as by that time...
not only had my day been totally random, but I knew what was coming... haha
Now let me tell you the best part...
hundreds of dollars later, looking back this was truly my most favorite...
Zaq said to take a shower... I did...
and he had back 3 dresses.... 3 bras... and 4 pair of underwear...
and EVEN tights!!
all by his self....
and my makeup and hair stuff....
was TOTALLY on the ball...
i mean how many guys think that different dresses require different bras!?!?
My guy did... hes the best.
Anyways... we got dressed up..
went down and had a cocktail... a $14 pomegranate martini.
OUCH!
but it was yummy...
then preceded to eat till near explosion at mannys...
and it was worth every miserable second, haha... fantastic.
AND zaq ate a piece of asparagus.... I was so proud *tear*
After dinner we went up and snuggled in the bed...
talked, cuddled, and listened to some tunes...
I noticed something was up because he kept checking the clock...
But I had no idea why...
well, now I do...
and the rest is history.
And Im rockin a big shiny diamond on my left hand...
set in a titanium ring that HE designed himself...
and I absolutely love it...
The only thing i KNEW i wanted, was a dark titanium and he did amazing...
its perfect.
So long story short...
WERE ENGAGED!
*yay*
hoping to get married this summer
(we will see if $$ allows that)
feel free to donate to my paypal account, haha
Wedding either here or some exotic location...
Reception here AND back home...
so no one gets left out of the fun.
Hmmm... and maybe an engagement party in the near future?
We'll see, we'll see...
Thanks to everyone whos always been there for us...
loving us... supporting us... and our family...
you guys are all the best.

Cheers-
