Tj popped the question!

Tj and I headed down to Vegas to visit my sisters and do a little shopping. First stop was the mall, and the first store I drug him into was Kay Jewelers. I told him I just wanted to look real quick and then we'd leave....but then I saw THE ring!!
Yeah, that one! I absolutely fell in love and of course had to try it on!! Within a matter of 30 seconds I decided I couldn't live without it and we HAD to buy it then. Tj told me we weren't taking it home, it was getting sent off to get sized and what not and he would pick it up another time. Sad, but still excited, I ran off to call my mom and tell her we had atleast bought a ring (this meant we were getting closer to being engaged which I could not wait for!) In the mean time, Tj called my dad and asked permission to marry me (what a southern gentlemen) and called and talked to most of his family! He put the ring in his pocket (without me knowing) and we headed to the strip to ride the New York New York roller coaster. Tj was all sorts of jittery and I had no idea why...just figured it was from staying out all night at karaoke for his B-day, then waking up for work, THEN him driving while I slept all the way to Vegas :) haha (his idea! I would have drove!!) Anyways, once we got to the strip we stopped at fatburger (I think) and got yummy burgers! Tj hardly ate any....because he was so nervous. (awwww) As we walked out towards the strip  they started shutting the lights and signs down ( it was Earth day, his first time to Vegas, on the strip and it was Earth day!!) haha! So as we start heading towards the New York New York he spots the Monte Carlo
He drags me over there and as we walk up behind the beautiful collumns and into this patio/garden area (we were surprisingly alone!) I turn around and he is down on one knee and asked me to marry him!!!! My eyes teared up and the first thing out of my mouth was "You had the ring?!?!?!?!?!!!" He put it on my finger and we were officially engaged :o) It was such an amazing feeling!! Just a minute later this guy walks up and said to Tj "Did you just do what I think you did?!" We told him yes and he snapped a picture for us
Right after that we headed straight to the roller coaster!!
I recommend for anybody who gets engaged to go ride a roller coaster right after!! haha! That was such a special night for us and I will NEVER forget it! The amount of butterflies in my stomach were outrageous and I STILL can't wrap my head around the fact that I am engaged to the most wonderful, sweet, caring, and handsome (super handsome!!) man! :') The love we have for each other is indescriable and most of all, indestructable!!!
"No measure of time with you will be long enough...but lets start with forever!" <3 <3
