Birthday fun!

Josh surprised me yesterday for my birthday by staying home from work to spend the whole day with me and of course do anything I wanted. He of course already had some surprises of his own along the way one which included season passes to wild waves, something I only mentioned I would love to do with him, one or two times weeks before. We had a blast for the short time we were their since they closed at four..I can't wait till we can go again. Later that night we had our friends, Jeremy, Dezi and their new baby Jade as well as my best friend sarah over for a bbq, movie and some homemade cherry pie Sarah made me, with 20 matchsticks in the pie to wish me happy birthday, hehe its the thought that counts! Im lucky to have such great people in my life...:)

It meant so much to me to have people around me that I love and to feel their support. I'm sure I will be all set when it comes to cooking, as I think SOME were trying to give me a clue as to how to start. hehe. Josh will have to bare with me through this time as I experiement with this... :)

♥The Proposal...Easter Sunday♥

Easter sunday as soon as I get up and out of bed Josh wakes up too (somewhat unusual) He kisses me goodmorning and tells me to look down at the edge of the bed. I see an Easter basket... at this point I'm thinking ah, what a sweetheart he somehow managed to make eggs and hide them while I was sleeping! Knowing I love chocolate this is major bonus points for him...hehe I leave the room and start the guided tour of the apartment to search for eggs; some that have already been gotten into by our little cats elle and lilly. I can't stop smiling, Im almost finished when I reach one egg and Josh stops to look at me while I open it, the note inside tells me to turn around. When I do, there is an egg hanging miraclously by a string to each side of the slider glass doors which I didnt realize was there before. Josh tells me to pull on the egg before I open it. I do, and down comes a banner saying Lindsey Will you Marry me? I open the egg and there is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen tied to the string that loosened the banner. Josh comes over and puts it on my hand, kisses my ring finger and says I love you will you marry me? Of course I said yes, I am the luckiest girl! I love you Josh!

I found this video taken minutes before Josh popped the question, Its not much, its hard to see, has no sound and is only seconds long but its a memory that will stay with me forever....
