Sentimental

I love Brian for many, many reasons. One of them is that he is sentimental and remembers everything. Today I got a knock on the door with a surprise little bouquet of roses and a star gazer lily. The note: I made the best decision two years ago today when I asked you to marry me. Thanks for saying, yes. Love you, Brian. Let's go back...because it's fun. I'll give the Reader's Digest version. I am at work, November 9, 2006, (sorry babe..you are early this year). Brian is in Denver at a FEMA conference. I get a delivery with a note, a large vase full of greenery and two roses. The day progresses and I keep getting deliveries of two or three roses at a time and a note accompanying them talking about the first time Brian saw me, the first time he called me, the first time he came to pick me up for a date and so on. I end up with 13 roses. I know that Brian is in Colorado...shout out to Travis for running back and forth and coming to the hospital every couple of hours.The last note tells me that Steve will be waiting at home for me. I hurry back to the house as soon as I am off of work. There is a manila envelope that says on the front..."Wait!, open inside the car with Steve. 5:30." I am wondering who the heck Steve is at this point, but had kind of figured it out. I controlled myself, unlike some of my family members, and did not open the package.I get picked up by Steve, in a Yukon, because we needed 4 wheel drive. I open the envelope and there is a long letter and two CD's. I am escorted by Steve to the destination of our first date, Snowbird Resort. There I was met by Brian and taken to the top floor of the lodge. He had everything prepared from "the spot" to the meal. It even started to snow. Except he forgot the camera :) We had a great time, I said yes. We called my grandma to let her be the first to know since she thought that Brian walked on water. It has been great ever since. Plus this is an excuse to look at our awesome engagement pictures. Here are just a few of my favorites. Our family friend Cindy did an incredible job! http://daydreamsart.com/
It's things like this that makes me look like a loser when I just get a card. It's also things like this that make my sisters hate me. Cristine is in fact, right now having a conversation with Jason about how he needs to do things like Brian! :O) He even made a similar envelope last year that said, "Wait! Don't open until in the car with Brian. 5:30".So even though he was a little early this year, I still love him...and he still loves me. We've just switched places and he is the true romantic. I say honey, bring it on!
