The Proposal
It was a seemingly normal Thursday and I was at work. Tim called me as he was getting off of work and told me he had been asked to work an event later than night (he worked for a catering company) He has done this many times before and I thought nothing of it. I had forgotten to leave a key at home that he needed so he ended up driving to my work to pick it up. While he was there he gave me $20 to put gas in my car because he said he knew I needed it. I took the money and he left.
When I got home from work I found a clue and realized he was sending me on a scavenger hunt and that was why he had given me gas money. There was a CD of songs for me to listen to in the car. The clue sent me to the restaurant where we had our first date. The clue said "shelves of fondant, icing, and cake. The store with items to help you bake" This clue refers to the baking supply store I go to since I love to decorate cakes. Since that store is about 40 mins away he also gave the hostess my favorite drink and Cheetos to give to me for the ride (i was so happy because i was starving! lol
When I got there I knew I was supposed to look near the piping tips. I kept looking near the wilton area but couldnt find anything. The workers finally asked me if i needed help and i asked them if they knew anything. They played it off like they didnt know anything at first, but finally directed me towards the tips they have in a big jewelry type case that had the clue taped to the glass. I just thought it was so nice that he incorporated something i love like cakes into the hunt.
That clue lead me to the culinary school we both went to. We met while we were both in the Front of the House class at the school restaurant. He had that clue taped to the restaurant door. The last clue told me to go to the parking lot of the school, which was where he first asked me out. He was waiting for me parked in the parking spot where he would sit in the back of his truck and wait for me to get out of class. He was dressed up all snazzy....except for his shoes which were his regular everyday Vans....but i love that!! It's so him! Then of course he got down on one knee and asked me to marry me. I cried like a giant baby like I always do and happily said YES! Apparently, he wasn't planning on proposing for another week or 2, but he said that while he was at work that morning it just felt right and he wanted to do it then. I love my boy <3
