Toddler Arwen is usually singular. She may be gone for good by now.

BUT I know not to get you any breakfast stuffs.

I want something between everything and nothing. I've had the 'let's do this in front of EVERY freakin' body within 100 yards of us' thing and I've had the 'oh, let's do this and, btw, I need to go to the store because we're out of milk' thing.

If it happens to me again (though, honestly, I don't feel as if it's ever happened with me, only to me), I want it to be meaningful and intimate. I want me looking at him and him seeing me, faults and all, and still wanting to wake up next to me, day in and day out, until our last wake up together.

I want that oh, so rare and infinite love and that oh, so unique and perfect for me proposal.

I am so with you on this one! And still waiting

However it happens, it will happen

It's rare that I'm surprised, so I think it'd be nice. But the rational side of me argues that it should be a mutual and planned thing. I don't know.

I think I'd rather have my ring picked out for me though, however it happens. And the ring will be perfect, perfectly simple (meaning no yellow gold!), because the one that does will know me enough to pick out THE perfect one.

I trust and have faith in this

And as much a family person as I am, I think I'd prefer it to be while it's just us two together. Maybe during one of our movie marathon nights, when it's midnight and we're quoting movies while sharing a bottle of wine and giggling like the absolute nuts we are.

Something like that I think.

Just a dream.

This is what happened. She made plans for us to spend an overnight at an inn for Valentine's Day. Then, on V-Day, she gave me a beautifully made scrapbook with photos of us and a lot of loving quotes. She also gave me a puzzle card--a photo of us that I had to put together. Except, it was missing some pieces. In a separate bag, she gave me the missing pieces, which said, "Will You Marry Me?" And she handed me a box which contained an engagement right. It *was* a surprise, and I took a few minutes to say "yes."

My honey is so thoughtful and romantic--she is always one step ahead of me when it comes to these things. I didn't have an idea ahead of time of a dream proposal--it could have just as well been me doing the asking, too.

I suppose its silly. After all, Im the girl who doesnt even like parties for my birthday because Im uncomfortable with all the focus on me.

However, ever since I was a tyke I wanted a big fuss proposal.

During Grad Night at DisneyLand in 1992 I decided that the BEST place to be proposed to was under the arbor in that park.

But the whole resturaunt proposal Ive seen in movies melts me every time too.

Beach at sunset? FREAKIN AWESOME.

I have been proposed to in a dining room ( I said no, ugh that was a heartwrenching moment- and the right decision. That individual is happily married at the wedding pics looked AWESOME)
I have been proposed to in a bathroom ( I said yes, and even though we are no longer married, i dont regret the time she and I had together)

These experiences have led me to agree that it shouldnt really be a suprise.
But its sort of like ordering a very good meal. Sure, you know what your going to get, cause you ordered it. But there is a difference if its wrapped like a burrito vs on fine china with an artistic layout and fancy cutlery and a pressed napkin on your lap. Presentation really matters for me. The food could be amazing in taste and texture. But if it looks good, then its no longer just a meal. It is an event to remember. Its about being PRESENT, mindful, thoughtful with attention to detail, and done with PURPOSE.

Yep that's what I always say you can serve a King shit on a platter and he'll eat it and like it, if you present it to him the right way. It's all about presentation.
