Matt and I were supposed to go to Disneyland last night, so he was picking me up from work at 4. Around 3 45 he text messages me and says he is running late and it has been "one of those days". I say okay and for him just to call me when he gets here. He does, only 5 minutes late, but looks at me and says "You will not believe this, I lost my Disneyland pass." I just laughed and told him i had it in my purse, where he left it. He seemed releived. But then opened the center console to get his wallet out and realized he left it at home. At this point I am just kinda laughing and realizing we probably won't make it to disneyland. About halfway to his house, he says "I am so stressed, today was just terrible, I need to go sit and breathe, we are going to a park." I agree and just sit in the car and wait for him to calm down as we get to prospect park. He opens my door and gets me out, where i see the in n out and picnic things in his toolbox! that sneaky guy! I look at him and say "We aren't going to disneyland, are we?" He laughs and says no. As we sit down on the picnic blanket, he gives me a book that he made for me. It was pictures of us from before we dated, all through our relationship, and the next to last page was pictures of us at prospect park. I turn the page to read "Megan, will you marry me?" I look at him and start crying, as he is on one knee with the ring. Of course I agreed. After we spent some time together, and finally got to say i love you, we made the phone calls. Then we showed up at Praxis, right at the end, and I went to the mic and said "I have one more announcement, and it's this..." and pointed at the ring. Everyone cheered and was way stoked for us. Then Mark prayed for us. All in all, a wonderful day & night!
