This just happened!
Over the weekend this happened:

Okay, let me back up a bit… :) In my last blog post, I mentioned that Kevin and I were going on a very random luxurious weekend to Alderbrook Resort. I was under the pretense that this was a ‘free’ weekend given to us by a partner at Kevin’s firm who bought the weekend package at an auction and then couldn’t use it so he gave it away to us. Turns out that there was no partner, no auction package - that was all a little fib. Kevin knew I would be SO onto him if he took me on a random, out-of-the-blue weekend away. Well played, Kevin! I had NO idea. I even tried to invite friends to go with us not once but twice - after all the package included a TWO bedroom waterfront cottage - we had room for friends! Luckily the friends I invited were in on it so they didn’t take me up on my offer! When we got checked into our cottage, I took the picture below of our view and uploaded it to Facebook. What I didn’t notice was that little white tent at the end of the dock that we would be under in about 15 minutes…
Kevin suggested we walk around to explore the resort before it got dark, so we walked around and out to the dock. Just before we got to that little white tent (which still didn’t tip me off), he got down on one knee and gave me this:
Yes, the url is part of the proposal thankyouverymuch.
After he asked, and I said “of course!” Kevin had celebration drinks waiting for us.
We sipped on champagne to celebrate before making a few quick calls and texts to friends and family (along with a few ecstatic Facebook updates) and then headed to a wonderful dinner at the resort.
Kevin filled the next day with breakfast room service, massages and a manicure/pedicure for me. Before we left the resort, we headed out to the dock to take a few pics at ‘our spot’ before headed back to Seattle.
The happy Krevin with our cottage in the background…
I just can’t take my eyes off that bling!
And… before I wrap up, just one more GPOMR (Gratuitous Picture Of My Ring) because A. I like to look at it; and B. because Michelle takes great pictures!
