They say that when you meet the right person, you just know that they're "the one." When I first talked to Dave on the phone, I knew that there was something special about him. On Monday, June 14, Dave and I decided to take the day off together and just have a fun day. It was our 4 month anniversary, and we had plans. He had never been to Berkeley before, since he was still new to the Bay Area. So, we made plans to go to Telegraph and hang out. Before going to Telegraph, Dave insisted that we go to the Starbucks on Park St. where we had first met, and even said that we could get the same comfy chairs by the front window where we sat. Prior to entering the Starbucks, Dave handed me a blue bag and told me that i had to open it when we got there. Luckily our chairs by the window were open and we were able to sit there. Inside the blue bag was a note and a fortune cookie. The note said that he loves me a lot and that I'd have to carry the fortune cookie with me until he said that I could open it. Of course, I whined and wanted to open it now, but he wouldn't let me, lol. So, we went to Berkeley and walked around all over the place. We went shopping at Rasputin's and had a nice lunch at Blake's. We even walked around the UC Berkeley campus, which neither of us had done before. It was a lot of fun. When we got back to Alameda, we got massages and went bowling. (Dave kicked my butt both games!) Finally we went home... Eventually, when it was time, I was able to open the fotune cookie that read "Will you marry me?" in it. I was so excited! Dave had gone to get my Grandma Oding's wedding sets cleaned, and which I'm now proudly wearing . He'd gone to get my Dave had even gone to my parents' and asked them permission before he proposed. And, from what I heard, they really love him, so they gave their blessing. That evening, we celebrated with dinner at The Stinking Rose in San Francisco's North Beach, with pizza and a nice bottle of wine. I'm so excited to have found the person who I'm spending the rest of my life with. I love him so much. We've only just begun...
