Well here's how it went:

On the 23rd Rico came over, [YAY ] and we hung out and played video games all day, and then late that night Rico took Zack to Wal-Mart, because he knew Zack was still bein lazy about getting me a present LOL...

So I wake up, [the  24th] and I bring in the 3 dozen flowers [pink roses, red roses, and carnations] and give them to Zack. He then brings in some presents for me... one from him and one from Rico. Rico gave me a 3 pair set of earrings... and Zack got me the most touching gift. It is a bracelet of Amethyst Butterflies. Now I know I will never change my AP name. It is so beautiful and I am wearing it now...

He thought I was done with presents, but little did he know I was just getting started. So I said 'Now I will brb' and I brought in the watch, the poetry book, a card, and the chocolate. He was very happy, and all day long he kept commenting on how beautiful the watch is. He read a few of the poems I have put in there, and intends on reading more later today.

Anyway... we drove to Olive Garden for lunch, but when we were in the parking lot we remembered we forgot to go to the atm. Since he has some stupid overdrawn charges [they took $31 from us ;-;] we only had $20 left. We used that for a little bit of gas and then went back to Olive Garden, and got the endless soup, salad and breadsticks! It was wonderful. They were very generous and gave us 8 breadsticks to take home! Lots of soup and salad too.

After that we went home, and snuggled for a while, until I made dinner. I cooked some beef stir fry with baby corn and peanuts, warmed up a couple breadsticks, and we shared a bottle of White Grape Sparkling Soda. It was yummy!

Later on we drove to the elementary school, and went and sat on the same exact slide where he asked me to be his girlfriend a year ago... and shortly after I proposed to him. I rested my head on his shoulder, as we watched the pink clouds gently rest in the sunset... and I said 'If you close your eyes, where do you see us in the future?' and he smiled and said 'I don't know where, but I know it's with you' and I told him to keep his eyes closed, and he kissed me, but I was trying to get the ring out of my purse . I yet again said 'Close your eyes, and keep them closed' and I got the ring out sneakly and put it in my lap, and he couldn't tell cos it was getting darker... then I told him to open his eyes and look at me... I looked deep into his beautiful brown eyes and I said there's nobody else in the world I'd rather spend my life with... and I said 'give me your hand' and he seemed a bit confused... but then I pulled the ring out and as tears started bearing down my cheeks I gasped and said 'Will you marry me?' ......... he paused in awe and looked at me, and I slipped the ring onto his finger as he said yes...

It was absolutely amazing. He looked at me and said 'Omg you're so beautiful' and we hugged each other, in perfect time too! It started pouring rain. God was crying for us .

The thing that sucks is his ring was one size too big... >.< which I thought it mighta been.. but he held onto it tightly. When we got back we decided to find the receipt and go to Wal-Mart and exchange it for a 10... but they didn't have any. So we got our money back and headed towards K-Mart hoping to find the same ring since K-Mart was nearby... but they sadly did not have it. We tried on different rings but it just didn't feel right. Zack started crying and said his heart felt like it was breaking because he wanted to wear that ring... so we drove across town to the OTHER Wal-Mart, and picked up the same ring [still one size too big] there, and although it is not the ring I placed on his hand, it's still the same one... and what we are going to do is on Friday, exchange this ring one more time for our money back, and order the right size online. I told him several times I don't care what it takes, we are getting that ring in the right size on his finger. I don't care if I have to put 100 different rings of the same one on his finger, he's getting that one. For not the exact one that matters, but the symbolism is what matters. It will still be the exact same design, just not the ring that I personally asked him with. We're kinda upset about that, but all is good. I promise with my entire being I will ask him again and again until the right ring fits.
