First we fell in love with eachother..

Then we fell in love with our baby...

Now I've fallen in love with...

A RING!!!!!!!

Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!

Is what I did about thirty times tonight after AC got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Is what I am doing right now while I write this post. I am so exhausted from the many glasses of wine and DELICIOUS champagne we drank tonight, but I am too excited to sleep... AC has found a way to get some shut eye during all of this excitement because he is snoring on the couch right now hahahaha

Last night AC asked me if I wanted to have a date night tonight. Of course I always want to have a date night, but because we are moving soon and will have more expenses I was going on and on about how we shouldn't spend money and we to save and blah blah blah. AC decided to call tonight our "last hoorah" (We have actually had many "last horrahs" There was the last hoorah of coffee drinks, the last hoorah at Ross, Home Goods, Rutherford Grill, Nike Outlet... the "last hoorah" never ends.. but I am serious this time!) and we decided to go out and try this new restaurant called Carpe Diem downtown... AMAZING by the way. Our favorite was the music.. Jack Johnson Bubbly Toes and Banana Pancakes both were played and it was just perfect. Carpe Diem is now our little spot.

We started talking about our wedding in Hawaii.. and I asked him when I could really officially start planning.. hint hint.. and he said he had "things he needed to take care of before a ring.." and thats when my face turned red and steam came shooting out my ears. But, I just let it go and enjoyed this delicious romantic night. We don't get too many date nights with a 4 month old and I need to enjoy them as much as possible.

So after some delicious appetizers and amazing wine we walked downtown to the HUGE Christmas tree by the Riverfront.

Now if you don't already know this about us, we LOVE Christmas. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Last year, we got our Christmas tree waaaaaay too early because we were so excited to have one decorated and lit up that it was literally brown, dead and almost needless by the time Christmas actually came. We've decided to wait at least until next week for our tree this year.

So back to the ring... we walked through the shivering cold (it's been getting pretty cold these last few nights) and stopped by the tree. It was beautiful and AC was telling me all the great and romantic things a girl loves to hear from her hubby. Like... how much he loves me ::kiss:: how much he loves me some more ::kiss kiss:: and then we both turned and looked at the tree and he was moving much more than I was and when I turned and said "what are you doing?" and there he was down on one knee...

With this BEAUTY in a box!!

He said, "Boo.. Will you marry me?" And I of course started crying and I was so happy and said YES!!! And I couldn't believe it was actually happening. I just told him how much I love him and how much I love our son and I feel so complete.

I honestly had NO CLUE. We went and looked at rings at a few different places throughout the my pregnancy and after Kekoa was born and I had no idea he had actually purchased one. AAAAAAAAhhhhhhh!!!!!

Yesterday morning I woke up and he was gone...for over an HOUR!! I called his cell phone six times and I texted him maybe three or four times. I couldn't believe that he woke up before me and left the house without telling me, that he wasn't answering my calls, and if he was going to ignore me.. he better not come home without bring me a coffee!!! hahaha Apparently he was at the jeweler picking up my ring. :) He even brought the ring to my parent's house at Thanksgiving to show my family without me knowing!

I am the luckiest girl in the world and I love my family. We might not being doing things the conventional way, but its the way we're doing it and everything is falling into place just as it should. I wouldn't change one thing about it.

Get ready for some wedding plans!
