<\/a><\/p>\nSoooo,<\/p>\n
#1 Daughter and I were doing some last minute Christmas shopping on the Wednesday before Christmas. \u00a0We had gone to an outdoor shopping mall and because we are super smart people, had parked in a secret area that only locals know about. \u00a0It’s not crowded and you can park a lot closer. \u00a0We were feeling very clever.<\/p>\n
We met up with a friend and her two little boys and shopped. \u00a0It was fun!<\/p>\n
After Macy’s Department Store, we went our separate ways. \u00a0The boys were getting the fidgets and needed to run.<\/p>\n
#1 Daughter and I decided to go to the Red Robin in the same shopping complex and grab a drink before heading back to her house. \u00a0We hopped in her truck and drove two, count them, TWO parking spaces when she hit the breaks.<\/p>\n
There was her #1 Boyfriend’s car!<\/p>\n
We swung into the empty parking space next to his car and she texted him. \u00a0She told him we were going for drinks and to come and have a drink with us.<\/p>\n
Pretty soon, here comes #1 Boyfriend hurrying through the parking lot towards his car. \u00a0He was walking funny because he was trying to hide a package behind his back.<\/p>\n
He was motioning with his head to #1 Daughter saying, “You go on ahead to Red Robin and get us a table. \u00a0I want to show something to your mom.”<\/p>\n
#1 Daughter was curious (so was I!) and asked what it was.<\/p>\n
“Oh, nothing. \u00a0Just go get us a table and we’ll be right there.”<\/p>\n
#1 Daughter kinda gave us the evil eye. She didn’t go into the store but stood far enough away that he could show me whatever it was….<\/p>\n
What is was, was her engagement ring!!!<\/p>\n
He was sooooo excited!<\/p>\n
“Do you think she’ll like it???” he kept asking me.<\/p>\n
“Oh yes! \u00a0She’ll like it!” \u00a0I assured him.<\/p>\n
Then he said, “Don’t tell her.”<\/p>\n
That’s the hard part. \u00a0When something is that exciting, I HAVE to tell somebody!!! \u00a0If I don’t, I’ll *pop* ~~ He was asking the unthinkable.<\/p>\n
We met up with #1 Daughter and she asked what it was. \u00a0I calmly replied, “Your Christmas present.”<\/p>\n
“Will I like it?” she asked.<\/p>\n
“YES!!!” I tried super hard not to scream my reply. \u00a0Hahaha!!!<\/p>\n
When I finally made it back to the hotel, I told MFH (My Favorite Husband) and the second I got into the room, I said, okay maybe yelled, “I SAW HER CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!!”<\/p>\n
MFH very quietly said, “Don’t tell me what it is.”<\/p>\n
AAUUUGGGHHH!!!!!<\/p>\n
That was the longest night of my life. \u00a0I HAD to tell somebody!!! \u00a0It was still two days until Christmas!<\/p>\n
Thank God, #1 Boyfriend became #1 Fiance’ that evening because he gave her the ring early.<\/p>\n
Whew!<\/p>\n
It was so much fun to be able to be there with her on such a special time in her life. \u00a0Wouldn’t trade that for the world!<\/p>\n
