August 26, 2014 (Tuesday)-I received a text message from Lee saying that he needed to see me and talk to me because we didn't have much time for us the last time we were together and he missed me. I was like you can FaceTime me. He said either you come to me tomorrow (Wednesday) or I come Friday to see you. I knew he was crazy but this was CRAZY and I told him that probably 100 times. His response was I know.
August 27, 2014 (Wednesday)- I hopped on a plane to make a crazy 12 hour trip to Atlanta. It was such a LONG day.
August 28, 2014 (Thursday)- He had to work so I stayed at the house sleeping all day. He texted me in the afternoon to tell me we were going on a date later. I got all pretty and waited for him. We went to the place where we had our first date, Two Urban Licks. We enjoyed a yummy meal and left. Then the 'special' things started. He was fiddling in the trunk and bought out this huge bouquet of flowers. I was surprised but this was my face.
(I dont do well with surprises lol.)
We then went to get a cupcake and I thought we were going to go back to the house. He proceeded to drive to downtown Atlanta. We were driving up to Skyview and I started to say to him how I would never go on something like that, I'm afraid of heights, Nobody better take me on that ever, I don't want to fall off. Unbeknownst to me that is where we were going. It was there that things got a little suspicious... the security guy had to do a check with a security baton and it beeped by his pocket and I thought hmmmm what is that and he quickly said it was his belt? (Oh brother) We rode SkyView and I survived.
After SkyView we crossed the street and took a walk in the Centennial Park. We walked around the whole thing and came back to the Olympic water rings. He asked me to get wet and I looked at him like he was crazy and said I am not getting my hair wet. I found a spot where the water wasn't going up and so I went in and he came after me.
He started talking to me sweetly and then got serious and I got scared. He started going down on one knee and I pulled him up so fast and was like OHHHH NO YOU DONT and started laughing uncontrollably and was holding him in this bear like hug cause then I knew he was gonna do it again. He began talking to me through me giggling and started going down on one knee again and I started to go down with him. He looked at me and was like ALISA stop, stand up just let it happen. At that moment time stood still; I couldn't breathe, talk, think. I covered my ears first then my face and started to cry and shake. All I could think was: This is it, OMG! He asked me and I said yes! There were no friends or family around to experience it with us but it was magical and it was a moment made just for us.
(one of the only pictures he got of me after he asked me and I said yes... It looks awful I know, haha)
I feel so blessed to have a God-fearing and loving man in my life. A man who has accepted me and loves and supports me flaws and all. I am excited and happy for this next step in my life
Stay tuned!.
