We woke up at 6:00 this morning and took our friend Kiara to the airport. After that I dropped Rick off at his house and then went back to my house and went back to bed for a few hours. Rick had a photoshoot to do later in the afternoon so he did that and I spent my time getting ready for the day. We went out to lunch and then he dropped me off at my house and had to "finish working on a project". I knew he was proposing today. He had given me a time frame as to when we were going to be engaged and today was the last day it could happen. Needless to say I was VERY nervous all day. While he was working on this project I needed to do something to keep myself busy, so my friend Lacey and I went to get pedicures. Rick said he would be ready by 7:00, but by that time he told me it would be another hour. By this time I was very anxious so I went to Lacey and Jake's house to hang out for a bit and keep myself busy so I wouldn't be as anxious. While I was at their house there were 3 knocks on the door. Lacey opened the door and no one was there but there was a note on the door with my name on it. Rick was sending me on a scavenger hunt! The note said to bring someone with me, so Lacey and Jake both came. We were sent to Maceys, then Rick's house, where I was blind folded. Jake was instructed to drive around so that I wouldn't know where I was, which he succeeded at. For a while I knew where we were but that was until Jake decided to go off-roading and he got me all mixed up, which was exactly what he was supposed to do, so props to you, Jake! We ended up going to the church by my house, Lacey lead me into the gym and told me that in 30 seconds I could take the blindfold off and then I needed to press the space bar on the keyboard next to me. I waited 30 seconds, took the blindfold off and in front of me I saw a very big white board that had messages from all my family and close friends on it, and then on top of it was a 13 feet by 4 feet piece of aluminum that was cut out and spray painted to say "Nikki" on it, which was a nickname Rick gave me (my middle name is Nicole). I pushed the play button and a video started playing on the white board. It was narrated by Rick and it was the story of how we met and everything up until this point. Near the end of the movie I was crying, music started to play, and then Rick came around from behind me. He held my hands as we both cried and while he told me he loves me and wants to be with me forever. He then got down on one knee, asked if I would marry him, and gave me my ring. Of course I said yes, and then we danced to the song that was playing. The music stopped, we couldn't stop smiling, and then I asked "Where did Lacey and Jake go?" and they came out from behind the Nikki sign and white board. So they got to view the show and it was good to know that Rick and I weren't the only ones crying.
It's almost 3:00 in the morning, and I am exhausted. Rick is asleep right now on the floor, he's exhausted too. It's been a very draining day for both of us, but I couldn't be happier.
