It was the most beautiful and exciting thing I've every experienced. I'll give Paul credit. He really knows how to sweep me off of my feet, and he did it twice. I'll never forget March 20, 2008. I hope Mom appreciates that Paul asked me on a very good luck year.
Well, here is the play by play:
March 19th 7:00 pm - I ate dinner with Paul's family at Red Robin. It was my choice of course, and whenever it is my choice I always choose Red Robin. I guess while we sat there, I just happened to sit underneath a sign that said Waikiki. I knew there were a few whisperings and picture takings. I guess I should have realized what was going on, IF I read what was above my head. Afterwards, we headed home to open gifts. I got the usual stuff, Fraggle Rock DVDs seasons 1 and 3, a Barnes and Nobles gift card, a chess board, and a bundt pan. Then there was an anonymous card, and when I opened it, inside there were two tickets. It said that I was leaving with Paul tomorrow morning at 8 am. They were all looking at me, and I was really quiet. The reason why is because I was speechless. I didn't want to believe that this was really true that Paul was so wonderful, he planned this for me because I might wake up from an incredible dream. Also, I was kind of scared because I was supposed to start work the next day. I didn't know how I was going to explain this to my boss. Paul and his family spent the next 10 minutes convincing me that work was informed and was okay, my family was informed and were expecting me, and the tickets were real. Then, I gave Paul a smack for spending so much money on me. Paul's family all laughed as if they were expecting it. Then we rushed home, packed our bags, and tried to go to sleep. It was going to be great to go home and spend it with my family the first time in 7 years.
