Engagement Story!

Good morning!
So, as most--all?--of you already know, Daniel and I are engaged! YAY!!! :) and this is what happened:

First of all, let me just point out that it was an incredibly busy week at work...Wed was an 11 hour day, Thursday 10, and Friday was pretty much 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., waking up again on Saturday at 4:30 for a Farmer's Market shift (the busiest ones!). so i was EXHAUSTED! [the busy-ness was the result of volunteering to take part in Wine and Roses, an event to benefit the Tulsa Garden Society that took place in the rose garden at woodward park--probably about 50 tents for restaurants, and nearly that many for wine vendors. people pay to get in, then mill around to the different tables, eating whatever catches their eye/nose. it ended up being super fun, and i'm glad we did it. people LOVED us!! being one of the only dessert tents ;) ]
Anyway. Daniel worked till 5 on saturday, and a race party to go to at 6 (which i was bowing out of, being so tired...) but he rode over here in order to cook us dinner--amazing dinner!--of crab-stuffed flounder, mushrooms/green pepper sauteed in balsamic vinegar and red wine, and spaghetti noodles. Note the spaghetti noodles. They play a major role in this story. ;)
It was DELICIOUS, Christi was there, i was wearing pajamas.
In the course of eating, i was talking to daniel about family things, basically assuming him as part of the family. and he said, joking, "well, I'd have to marry you first!" At which point I turned to him, noodles hanging out of my mouth in the most unromantic way, and wailed (also in a joking way), "Please marry me!"
Daniel's response: "Well, then, I guess I'd better give you this!" and he pulled out the ring and --ta-da!! we are engaged! and for the rest of our lives, when telling our engagement story, i get to re-enact the wailing noodle mouth. :) it was just mean. but quite fitting :)
