Engagement!

Well, Bryan and I are engaged! Yay! We spent the weekend in Seattle and it was fantastic! We left Albany Friday at 11:30 AM thinking we would make it to our hotel right around our 4:00 PM check-in time. Boy, were we wrong! We didn't get there until 6:30, what a pain! There was a wreck, some construction, and general traffic that we are not used to! Anyway, we finally got there and were very excited to start our weekend! Bryan had heard about a cool park, Kerry Park, that overlooks the whole city and the lake and everything. So we decided to get Subway sandwiches and take them up to that park to eat. We got there at about 8:30 or so, which was perfect because the sun was just setting. We looked at the view for awhile, and then sat down on a bench to eat. We finished our sandwiches and sat for awhile, then he said we should probably get going and I agreed. Then he pulled out his camera case and said something about getting his camera out, and instead a ring box came out! I didn't really know what was going on still, since it was pretty dark at this point. He then got down on one knee and said something like, "Lindsey Michelle Green, I love you with all of my heart. You mean everything to me and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" And I said, "Of course!!" I'm pretty sure this is what he said to me, although I can't be too sure because I was in complete jaw-dropped shock the entire time! I really thought he was just kidding at first, and when I realized it was actually happening I didn't know what to do with myself! I didn't even cry, which is pretty crazy considering I'm one of the most emotional people ever! I was just in such complete shock I could only shake as I was just trying to get it to sink in! Anyway, after that, we looked at the view a little more, had someone take our picture, and then left. I had SO many phone calls ahead of me!

Right after he proposed!

My beautiful ring! Which looks much better in person, a picture just can't do it justice!

That was obviously the highlight of the weekend, but we still had more to look forward to! The Indians/Mariners game Saturday was really fun! We walked two miles from our hotel to the game, and two miles back. Quite a hike! It was pretty warm that day too, and our seats were right in the sun! It was worth it to sit so close, though! And the Indians won 10-3, hooray! I was quite distracted by my fantastic ring though..whoops! Bryan just laughed at me for staring at it so much. I can't help it, it's so beautiful! When we got back to our hotel, we changed out of our sweaty game clothes and cooled off and rested a bit. Then we went to P.F. Chang's for dinner, which was just about five blocks from our hotel. So delicious! We then went back to our hotel and rented a movie at the front desk. We both decided on 27 Dresses because we liked it and hadn't seen it in a long time, and it was an even better choice because we realized it was the first movie we went to see together! We were so tired, though, that we only made it halfway through the movie before crashing! We finished in the morning though, so it worked out!

After the game

Sunday morning we just finished the movie, went hot tubbing/swimming for a bit, then packed up and were checked out by a little after 10:00. I was anxious to get to Shane Co. in Portland to see what they could do about sizing my ring, but it didn't end up too good for me! As it turns out, I have to leave my ring for 3-5 days in order for them to size it. AAAH! I'm just not ready for that yet, so we'll see when I get comfortable enough to leave it for that long. That's when I might cry!

Basically, this was a super fantastic weekend and I am so sad that it's over! We have some great memories though, and are so excited to start planning the rest of our lives together! =)
