So, by this time most of you have heard it...but since Tony was so smart and I can upload my pictures on CD's that I did at Wal Mart..you now get the pictures of really how unprepared I was..I still gotta figure out what to do about my computer, I guess I gotta take more pictures off of here..
Friday night we went to SaddleCreek Sunglass Hut and both picked out some new sunglasses, this was my anniversary present to us. Tony picked out two old school "Michael Jackson" Ray Ban's and I got a cute Versace pair of shades. We found out we were showing the house the next morning so we got home and cleaned up a little bit and finished watching "Into the Wild" which we had started the night before. I was so tired, I just had to lay down and I feel asleep immediately apparently. Got up early that morning cleaned a lot more, almost thought we would make it in time to show the house by 9am. I was fussing at Tony, rushing around, etc, etc. We got done in time and showed the house, they didn't like our floors, oh well, so we went to Starbucks, came home and sat in the backyard, talking talking..Tony kept saying that I needed to open my anniversary gift. He had this huge box in his car. I thought he had ordered something and he was hiding it from me. It was a pretty big box. He likes to get me purses and jeans and stuff sometimes, so that was normal seeing a big box. So I finally was like, ok and started opening it in the kitchen. Tony was in the living room part of the time, walking in and out as I opened it. I opened the big box and there was a smaller one inside of that box. Tony said, "Oh I didn't know they put it in a another box"..so then I opened THAT box and yet another box but this one was a UPS box with a bow on it. Still I'm thinking what the heck??? I knew it wasn't some jeans now. He then said, "Lennox and Lane, come in here and see what I got mommy." They came and sat on either side of him. So..I open that UPS box and there is any 'Easy Wedding Planning Plus' book. I was thinking, "ok, thanks for the book", I think I did say,... "What are we gonna start planning now". Next thing I know Tony is on his knee and I pretty much went blank. Apparently I didn't say much for about 5 minutes (according to Tony) in total shock. I was thinking, What ring is that?, What is he doing?...I finally said, yes and we kissed and all the good stuff, then I thought, "We didn't take any pictures.." So we took a couple of pictures and later a video. He totally caught me off guard. Yes, we have been together for 9 years and have spoken about getting married, but he still totally surprised me. I mean we started the morning cleaning, rushing around, I was still in my pajamas practically. I had always envisioned being atleast showered when he proposed. Looking back, I'm really glad he did it that way and we got to share the moment with our Lennox and Lane.
So this is a late post due to my hard drive issues, but I still wanted to post..Jennifer and Ernie welcomed Emma Bernadine Dye into the world on July 15th. She is healthy and beautiful...like you saw in the past post, Jennifer has already been out and about..they are going to be fun parents! :)
Went out with the girls last week to celebrate my engagement and to of course get our nails done. I can't be showing my ring and my nails looking bad. Brooke brought me my own special glass (I'll call it my Pimp Cup) and the rest of the girls brought some great champagne. We had such a good time, so glad Clipps let us bring in the bubbly!! So glad they could all make it..thanks Kelly and Andrea for getting it together. And yes, Jennifer had Emma 1 week ago and still made it out..and with two bottles of champagne!
After our Mani/Pedi's we went to Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen and dined on some delicious food. They have just updated their menu for the season and it is fabulous. I really recommend the ravioli and the AM salad, which were on the old menu, but the other girls were going nuts over the Caprese salad. And the Shortbread cookie dessert..YUM!! Such a wonderful night with the girls..and Michael :) Thanks so much all of you for celebrating with me, I had a wonderful time! 
Before the proposal, I had wanted us to go to the new Raiford's and dance! But when things changed that day (my life forever right!?) our plans changed. We decided to meet some friends out for drinks. Kelly started us off with some Wedding Cake Shots at the Beauty Shop. Aubrey, Engin, Winter, Sabrina and Chris all joined in on the celebration. 
We ended the night at Celtic Crossing, and Tony and Kelly ending the night with Wedding Cake shots. 
We went to Iris Saturday night to celebrate our engagement. The chef, Kelly English, just got best new chef by Food and Wine Magazine. We already had reservations, I had picked it, to celebrate our 9 year anniversary. I thought it was a little newer, but Iris opened in April of 2008. So we were a little behind in trying out this 'new' spot. Well it was wonderful and I highly recommend it! I got the 3 course dinner with wine pairings and I loved every course and every glass! The only weird thing was this spoonful of peas that we couldn't figure out how to eat, I tried it, but you know, I'm not a pea fan at all. The food was amazing, I can't wait to go back and try more! 
I was looking through my pictures since I still can't upload any right now, but came across this one I took a month ago..can anyone guess what these items are? They all came from the same place..
I hate not posting anything after having such exciting news this past weekend. But my Mac Hard drive is full. Yep, I have a Mac Book Pro and its totally full. I couldn't even upload these pictures onto blogger last night I had to delete some stuff and restart and try again this morning. So that means I cant get the pictures off my camera from the proposal or when we went out to celebrate Saturday night. So I either have to put some of my pictures on a backup hard drive or get a bigger hard drive or add memory. However they do that? So...I had to post SOMETHING..and here are some of the flowers in our yard that I had uploaded awhile ago..I will be working on my computer issues today...
Saw my girl Marianne while I was in Miami, met her for a drink at Nobu. And met Spiro, Steve and Ayanna's new French Bulldog..6 weeks old, isn't he ADORABLE!?!?!?!
