The Story

March 6, 2013 /

So here is Patrick and my’s story. I cannot tell you how many people have asked me what it is so I am going to tell you in a post so that you all can come and see it whenever you want.

But the news is true…Patrick and I are engaged 🙂

The Story:

(March 5th 2013)

I was coming home from Bikram Yoga and I was starving I am not gonna lie. I get SO hungry after doing that class so I was really looking forward to getting home and getting some grub.

On my way, I get a text from Patrick asking me to let him know when I was close. Which didn’t seem odd to me because we have had a coyote circling our property so I have been asking him to meet me at the door when I get home haha.

Anyways, So I did.

I got home and grabbed my mat and my bags from the day and started walking up the steps to the house when I noticed a rock with a note under it.

I picked it up and it said, “Raven, leave your troubles on the steps.”

I kept walking and when I got up to our front door there was another note, “and your bags at the door…”

So I unlocked the door and set down my bags.

I started walking towards the kitchen and noticed another note on the doorway…I faintly heard something but I couldn’t tell what it was.

“Lion made you dinner and it just around the corner”… (Patrick and I call each other Lion & Tiger because when we first started dating we went to the St. Louis Zoo and those were the animals we each said we would have wanted to be).

Walking into the kitchen I could hear what the faint sound was…it was his phone playing Stolen by Dashboard Confessional. He had the video playing on this phone, this is our song…

And there was another note on the doorway…

“Tiger, I wanted this to be for us, something you will remember throughout the years”

I watched the video for a few seconds and then noticed another note on the counter with a tall glass of water and 2 ibrophen…my routine after Bikram 🙂


“To show you that I will love you and cherish you forever and always”

I turned around and saw the table with dinner he had made and 2 wine glasses and so many candles. I walked over to the table with our song still playing and saw the final note…

“I just have one simple question to ask of you…”

and as I turned around, he was on one knee with the ring in his hand asking me to marry him.

I cried and hugged him and just shook my head “yes”, as I couldn’t get any other words out at that time.

Ring

It was an amazing proposal and while it wasn’t in some far off destination somewhere and it wasn’t super flashy…it was perfect.

If I had all the rings to choose from in the world, I would have picked the one he put on my finger.

I feel like I have slept with hanger in my mouth all night, I just can’t stop smiling

Ring2

So many people are asking me how I am feeling and I have no idea what to tell them haha.

I have so many different emotions going on I am just overwhelmed. Overwhelmed, blessed and lucky.

I suppose the moral of the story is that…

We’re engaged!

 We watch the season pull up its own stage
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away
You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart
Invitation only, grand farewells
Crash the best one, of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight
You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart
And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration
One good stretch before our hibernation
Our dreams assured and we all, will sleep well
sleep well
You have stolen
You have stolen
You have stolen my heart
I watch you spin around in your highest heels
You are the best one, of the best ones
We all look like we feel
You have stolen my
You have stolen my
You have stolen my heart
