He'd been trying to get a day off to go to Spence Diamond down by my work to pick up the ring, he'd narrowed it down to two. So he took yesterday off, and I went "cool, I've got a day in lieu to burn, I'll take it off with you". He let me sleep until noon, then we were planning to go to the mall (he needed new runners) and Walmart (I wanted new underwear) ... then we get into the car and he hands me a blindfold. I looked at him and said "seriously?" I couldn't figure out why he wanted me to be blindfolded to go to Walmart. After I put the blindfold on he went back into the house to get something, put it in the back seat, and we were off.
I was trying to figure out where we were going, felt like Walmart with all the stops and turns. Then, when I thought we were turning into the Walmart parking lot, the car sped up ... FAST. WTF?!?!?!? Then I realized he'd turned on to the 400 south (the last turn before the Walmart enterance). Ok, so maybe we're going to Magnotta, that'd be nice .... oohhhhhh maybe we're going to Niagara. I settle in for the drive (still blindfolded) and enjoy.
After a while, I can feel the car slowing down. I mention that and Shawn says "yes, traffic, must be an accident". After a complete stop, the car turned left. I swore it was Rutherford Road. I do that drive two and from work every day and it just felt right. Ohhhhh maybe we're going to Wonderland ... damn, I wore a dress. Passed Wonderland ... ohhhhh maybe we're going shopping at Vaughan Mills! Nope, passed that too. Hmmm, maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's not Rutherford. Then, about 5 minutes later we turn right and hit two stop signs in a road. WTF? "Why are we going to my work?" Just then, he pulls over and stops. We're at the park, around the corner from my work. I see him reach into the back seat and pull out what I thought was his lunch bag. Ohhhhh a picnic ... No he says. Hmmmmmmm. I'd given him a photo album with pictures from the last two years for Father's Day and the pictures he took of me at that park two years ago were in there. He said he wanted updated pictures. Ohhhh, how sweet.
So, I climbed up on the playground and ... well ... watch the video.
He used his ring that I bought him a year ago, because he hadn't gotten to the jewelers yet. We went to Spence, picked out my beautiful ring and then went for lunch. It was amazing. The waitress at lunch wanted to know what we were celebrating, because I was glowing, I showed her my ring. Honestly I'm still on cloud nine.
