Every year Michael and I go on vacation for Valentine's Day. Well this particular time we took the kids along so that we wouldn't have to bother the grandparents.
Michael told me that he was working Thursday from 12-8pm at the McGuire Nuclear Plant. In my mind I knew it was a little strange but I did not say anything because I had worked 12 hours that night before and all I wanted to do was sleep before the kids get home. So I didn't think any more about it.
Friday, February 10, 2012 comes, so we pack and leave for our four hour trip to the beach (Hilton Head, SC). Mike drove the first two hours and I drove the last two hours of our trip. When we got ready to turn into the hotel, Mike crawls to the back of the van claiming that he wanted to stretch out his legs. So I continue to check in with the guard before our entrance to the hotel. I drop Mike off at the front of the hotel to check in. When I looked up I notice Mike drinking a cup of water. Not paying any attention that his wallet was sitting in the compartment next to me, he came back to the van and we found our parking space.
Walking up to the room, he gave me my key and told me to open the door.
To my surprise when I opened the door there were rose petals all over the floor leading up to the bed that was filled with a bouquet of roses, a bible, chocolate candy and a card. Again, thinking this was my Valentine's Day gift and not thinking that this dude was about to propose to me. It took me a little while to pick up the card because the kids and I wanted to take pictures, laugh, and joke. Mike being inpatient as he is asked me, "Baby, you not gone read your card?"
When I picked up the card to read it, there it was....a RING.
