December 22nd: Proposal!

We got engaged on December 22nd of 2012. I kind of knew it was coming, since I picked out the ring myself, but was still surprised. He was working in North Dakota for a couple of months and when he came home he took me shopping since he said he didn't know what I wanted for Christmas. When we were about to check out in Victoria Secret he asked me if I wanted to go to Fred Meyer and get my fingered sized (we already have done it once before but he claimed he forgot). When we got there they sized my finger and then Tyson told me to look around and give him an idea of what style of ring I would love. I tried on about 4 different rings until I came to the conclusion I was in love with the one that I have now. When I told him I liked it he turned to the Sales Manager and said, "We will take it." It took me a minute to process what exactly he was talking about. A light bulb went off in my head and I started tearing up in the store because it was finally happening. They had to get my ring sized so it would take about a week. A couple days after the ring was finished and ready for pick up he convinced me that he was going to wait a few more weeks to a couple months until he was going to get down on that one knee. I was of course anxious and I wanted the ring right then! On the 22nd he told me my now sister-in-law and her mom wanted to go do something with me. At first I was too tired and just wanted to stay home but he insisted, so I went shopping with them. Come to find out when I was out with the girls, him and his brother were setting up the proposal. When the guys were done he came and picked me up and told me that he wanted to take me to dinner since he wanted to do something nice because I hadn't seen him very much while he was in North Dakota. He took me to the Priarie Schooner, I have never been there before and the wagons give privacy. We had a reservation so he told me to run in and grab the table while he parks the truck, which gives him an excuse to grab the ring and hide it on his person. We sat down and ordered appetizers. He went ahead and ordered mushrooms.. I HATE mushrooms! So we split the plate with mushrooms and onion rings, my favorite! yuumm.. When the plate came we started digging into our appetizers and I had no clue on what was coming next. We got to the bottom and there was one onion ring left. I was so full I couldn't eat it but he kept insisting. The onion ring was the size of a freaking Large Lid at Mcdonald's and I was sooo full. I went to pick up the onion ring but it fell apart back onto the plate and I could tell that Tyson was getting frustrated. I started eating the onion ring and saw letters on the bottom of the plate. I started reading it out loud, "WILL YOU MARR..." I looked up when I realized what the rest of it said, "will you marry me?" He was on one knee next to me asking if I will be his wife! Of course I said YES.
