Hello Everybody and welcome to my life story,

Here is a little background of what I have been up to for the past 14 years. I met my wonderful husband on a dating site. He was the first one to reach out to me. On our first date he took me to see the water fountains at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. We watched an entire session.

After that he took me to the Santa Fe Casino and we went bowling. We played maybe on or two sessions, if that. We started talking and he asked me questions about my family life and how many siblings I have.

I asked him the same questions and we never even finished our game. He took me home and even opened the car door for me. That was new to me because no men has ever done that for me. I said good night to him and I went inside. He waited until I was inside and then he drove home. He was/is truly a gentleman.

I sat in the garage maybe 5 minutes when my mom came in and we smoke a cigarette and she asked me how my date was. I told her that I had so much fun and I could see myself going out with him again. She was happy, that I finally found somebody that I could connect with even if it was just going to be a friendship.

Two weeks past by and he showed up at my house. In between that time we were skyping everyday on skype. He found out that I loved to watch Smallville. He brought the first season of Smallville over. So we started the first 2 episodes together. Well my bed broke in half. He told me that he would come by the next day after work and he would fix it. He sure did keep his promise and that was huge for me. I never had a man keep his promises. So that for sure was a huge plus. I was happy that my bed was fixed.

We had made plans that we would meet up again on the weekend. I was in a German American Club in Las Vegas and I participated in German traditional dancing. We had a performance and he came and watched me and my family and friends perform. Everybody was asking me, who he was and I started to blush because the more time I spend with him the more I fell in love with him.

One month after we met, he came over to my parents house and he just kissed me out of the blue. I just knew then that he felt the same way as me. This was in October 2010. We have not been apart since that day. We have been together for 14 almost 15 years. He is my best friend and my soulmate.

I hope you enjoyed my little introduction. There is more to come tomorrow and as for now see you later alligator.

Our Proposal

My husband had taken me on a weekend camping trip the last weekend of November. We went with a whole bunch of our friends from our dancing group. It was our annual Christmas camping trip. We went to Valley of Fire up in the mountains. My oldest sister went with us. We grabbed our camping gear and we headed out right after work.

We made a quick pit stop at Walmart to grab some food that we can cook over the weekend. I was excited to be spending some time with my husband, Glen. We got to our campsite around 6 or 7pm. We put our tents up and also helped my sister put hers up. Then we started our fire so we can cook some food for the night. I had started to boil some hot water for some hot chocolate. Especially because it was getting cold at night. It was Winter after all. Yes, we do get cold weather in Las Vegas. Surprisingly every once in a while it will snow. We do get a lot of snow in the mountains. Especially on Mount Charleston, where we have a Ski Resort and Snowboarding Resort.

Around 9pm we gathered around the big fire and we were chanting some Christmas music and telling some of our favorite stories. Around midnight or so everybody headed to their beds for the night. Glen and I were snuggling and trying to keep warm because the wind started to pick up our first night there. I was happy when that wind stopped and I saw the sun come up. I got up and started to boil some more hot chocolate, I also started the fire in the pit so we could get warmed up.

Slowly everybody else started to get up and we had some breakfast. I made some scrambled eggs and bacon with hot chocolate. It was pretty good to warm our bodies up. Lol.

On our second night there we took a little walk around the campsite. Just my husband and I. We looked at the stars. I love looking at stars at night. The night is calm and peaceful. Just the way I like it. I also love to watch sunsets and sunrises. I love to admire the different colors.

The next morning just before sunrise, Glen woke me up and we started hiking up a mountain. Once we reached the mountain top, we just stood there and watched the sunrise. He was standing behind me with his arms wrapped around me. I was just soaking in the moment for a lifetime to come. He turned me around and smiled at me. He was very fidgety and I knew he had something up his sleeves. I just didn’t know what it was.

He looked very deep in my eyes and told me, that he has something to warm me up. In my head I thought it was some hot chocolate or something. He went in his pocket and took out a little square box, he got down on one knee and I just looked at him in awe, he asked me to marry him, while the sun was rising. I was so happy and I said, yes. He put the ring on my finger and I just looked at it. It was just so perfect.

I couldn’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him. He was just so perfect. We hiked down the hill and we told everybody that we were engaged. I just couldn’t stop smiling. We started packing our camping stuff because it was time to head back home.

Once we arrived at my parents’ house I told them all about how he proposed to me. They were so happy. We had a date set for 03/09/2012. He proposed to me on 12/01/2011. I still remember it like it was yesterday.

But that is how Glen proposed to me. I hope you enjoyed this little read. Until next time.
