05.21.2009: ENGAGED!!!

It is official!!! We are ENGAGED!!!
How did it happen, you ask?????
One of our most favorite places to go relax, have a drink, listen to live music, or just get away is the Hyatt at Gainey Ranch. The resort is only a few miles from our house, but when you walk in, you can feel a million miles away. It is gorgeous, peaceful, relaxing, and happening...all at the same time. We have spent many evenings there either listening to live jazz in the lobby/bar area, or just sitting out by the fire pit on the lake.

The night before we were to head to Vegas for the weekend, Vince wanted to go over to the Hyatt for a drink....our signature COSMO! The best there! So, after a tough week of work, and hectic long days, it sounded like a good idea, so I agreed.

This Thursday night, it just so happens to be raining. EXTREMELY rare for a May evening in Arizona!!! The temp was perfect...a little chilly....again EXTREMELY rare!!

A little history on us....we LOVE the rain! We chase the rain. We sit outside on the patio every night during a monsoon. We go for walks as soon as it starts sprinkling. We sit in the jacuzzi in hail storms. We don't even own an umbrella.

So, we head to the Hyatt, get our cosmos, and head out to sit in the rain by the fire pit. Lucky for us, they just added little cabanas out there so we got to sit under slight cover looking out into the lake. Not long into the evening, we started reminiscing about the evenings we used to spend there. Next thing you know, Vince drops to one knee, pulls a big diamond ring from his pocket, and pops the question!!! NICE!!

His proposal could not be more perfect, or better timed! In Arizona, you cannot just wait for rain, because who knows when it would come. He was going to do it that night anyways, but the setting made it so perfect....it was fate!!

How could I say no!!!???

Sooooo, no ring pictures yet....only because the ones I took came out blurry :( Stay tuned!!!
