Eat, Drink, and I'm getting married!!

This post is almost 2 weeks over due, but I have some exciting news to share!  Alex and I are getting married!  Thursday, December 2nd he decided to "pop the question"!  Ok, so it wasn't a HUGE surprise.  I knew it was coming of course.  Either way it was probably one of the best moments of my life behind my kids of course.  I was so happy that he didn't do anything cheesy and embarrassing, which is just his style.  I, on the other hand, prefer to not have the spot light on me and was a nervous wreck that he was going to stand up in a restaurant and propose in front of a whole room of strangers.  Actually, that might have been the case for all I know, but I supposedly ruined his proposal idea.  Luke was supposed to have the kids that weekend and Alex and I had plans for dinner, but Luke decided to go hunting and I kept the kids.  My mom offered to babysit and Alex said we should still go to dinner, but I was pretty adamant about NOT going to dinner.  Alright, alright I was purposely being a little stubborn about the whole dinner situation..I had to have some sort of clue if it was coming or not so I could prepare for my reaction in front of the whole crowd of people I had envisioned.  Of course, Alex wasn't as persistant as I had imagined he would be if he was preparing to ask me to marry him so I assumed that it just wasn't going to happen that weekend.  We were sitting at the kitchen table with my kids when this whole discussion unraveled and I guess I was being a little grumpy, especially after I was certain there would be no engagement that weekend.  Little did I know he had hid the ring in our center piece that was sitting on the table and was just waiting for me to see it.  He managed to surprise me!!  I can honestly say I had no idea!  It was very simple and sweet.  I am so happy he did it that way.  I loved that my kids were there as well.  They both seemed so excited, which made the moment even better.  After seeing the excitement in my kids eyes I knew that this was the way life was meant to be and it can only get better from here.  :)
