The Proposal

You need to know this first: over the summer Dancer wrote a cute message on my bathroom mirror. It said "Dancer + Babs" with a heart around it. It is still there.

So....
It was your typical Tuesday (except for the fact that I had to go vote). I put Lil'babs to bed around 8pm. Dancer came over shortly after. He brought ice cream, my favorite. We sat and talked about our day over ice cream and while I graded papers. We always have great conversations and he is a great listener. I don't remember what time it was, but we decided to get ready for bed. While we were in my room, he started to head to the masterbathroom so I announced "I gotta go pee too" and headed to the other bathroom. He followed me. I thought for a quick second that that was kinda odd. When I walked into the guest bathroom, I saw a cute box with a silver ribbon sitting on the counter. I thought that it was strange that there was a gift in the bathroom. But hey, it was a gift, what do I care what room it is in? I turned and Dancer was standing in the doorway. I said something like- Oh, look someone got me a gift. (big grin) Why is it in the bathroom? Is it for the toilet or something?..I was laughing at the fact that there was a gift in the bathroom, but excited to be receiving it. He said"look at the mirror" which I am surprised I didn't notice when I first walked in because I am always looking in the mirror. I looked up and written on the mirror was "Babs, will you marry me?" I started screaming and jumping up and down. My shoulder hits the shelf and falls to the floor breaking the objects on it. Lil'babs woke up for 1/2 a second from the screaming, too. So, I open the box and there is the ring... the sparkling, blind your eye, ring. He takes it out and puts it on my finger. I start jumping up and down again while headed to the bedroom. I flop down on the bed, overjoyed and staring at the ring. Dancer says "I'm guessing that is a yes?" "Yes, of course" I said. After that is kinda a blur, but the feeling was pure joy. I have never been so happy cleaning up broken glass off the floor either. We celebrated with champagne that he brought over in the cooler in which he had transported the ice cream in. He's good, eh? The ice cream was a cover up for what was really in the cooler. I will leave the rest of the evening up to your imagination, but I am sure you can guess what happened ;-D

I was very surprised, which was his main goal. He did a fabulous job picking out the ring, I am sure that is the hardest part for a guy, which makes me love it that much more. Dancer is so awesome!

I told Lil'babs about it Wed. eve. She was so thrilled that she started jumping up and down and screamed. Hmm...I guess she comes by that honestly?! Side note: poor thing, her hamster died today and she is just devastated.

So, there you have it, the details.
