Surprise Date Night !!!

Well today is a leap year, February 29th, so I wanted to post. Plus this was just too special to post in my regular weekly posts.

So on Monday after work, as I was coming to the door there was a note on which said, "Please knock Penny." I then knocked and Steve opened the door wearing his suit and tie. He then gave me a hug and kiss, took my bag and coat, then let me use the restroom (that time of day of course after a train ride). As I came back out in the living room Steve seated me then poured us some sparkling cider. He then picked up the ring box, and kneeled by my chair and basically poured his heart out to me. ;) He let me know that he's really excited for us to be parents and that he wants me to be able to wear my wedding ring (my fingers are getting a little chubby right now and my wedding rings don't fit). He said he wanted me to have a ring to wear that meant something to us both and wasn't just a cheap $20 ring from Wal-Mart that would make my finger turn green. He then opened the box and showed me my new ring he got me, a size bigger than my regular wedding ring. It was perfect! He said he wanted diamonds on it because it looks more like a wedding ring, so no one will get any ideas ;)

We then ate our salad, then had steak and potatoes that Steve made. It was a yummy dinner! For dessert we had mint cookie ice cream and watched a little TV. It was a PERFECT date night. Thanks honey; you're the best! Thanks Carrie for helping him pick it out as well.

Side note......here is my belly at 13 weeks. We go to the DR in the morning for my 14 week appointment, then next time we'll find out what we're having......yeah can't wait! ;)
