On 3.2.2009, TT proposed to me! We have been together for 12, almost 13 years now. Although TT had been planning for a while with the help of my family, I had no idea this was coming!
I flew into Richmond on Monday around 6pm and TT picked me up from the airport. I wanted to change my flight to Saturday when I found out that I had the weekend off, but TT told me that he had to study on the weekend so that he could spend time with me when I got here. When I got in, I suggested that we go to the grocery store so that I could cook some dinner for us, but TT wanted to go out to dinner so we went out to Kobe, a pretty good Japanese restaurant. On the way home, I wanted to stop by CVS to get some nail polish remover, but TT insisted that we go home. Then I made him watch ABDC online because I really wanted him to see the most amazing dancers ever. All these things were taking up some time, and TT stopped the ABDC run and told me that he wasn't feeling well from the dinner. Then the music went off in the study room across the way from TT's bedroom. He told me that he set an alarm and forgot to turn it off and asked me to go turn it off for him. Since he wasn't feeling well, I got up and walked over there. When I opened the door, this was what I walked into (although no recording can capture the true feeling of this amazing experience):

Since it was match day and I just found out that I was moving to Richmond for my internship, I thought TT was doing this to celebrate. After looking around at the pictures of us, I realized I was stepping on rose petals. Then I noticed the poster on the wall of an arch in Utah turned out to be a mosaic of a bunch of pictures of us. I asked TT where he got it, and he told me that he made it for us. I was still confused and not suspecting anything. After all, I had thought none of this was supposed to happen until much later.
Then TT told me to sit down on a chair that also had rose petals on it. While I was still confused, TT took out a little box and got down on one knee. I was in disbelief and can't really remember what happened after that.

We spent the next hour just looking at pictures together. It was such a surreal experience that it took me a couple of days to process it. I love my ring. It fits me perfectly!
I love you bebes!
