This past weekend I thought perhaps Matt was going to propose to me. We hadn't been on a date in several...months? so for him to plan one and not tell me what we were doing seemed like a surefire thing. I did think, "
well he could of been sneakier about it and not even tell me we were going out", which also made me think, "
oh you silly nilly, he's not asking you on Saturday, get that out of your head!" which of course is
impossible to do once it's
in your head.
It actually was a well planned day. In all of the time Matt and I have been together, we have never spent a day walking downtown together, so Matt decided it was time. We went to the Van Art Gallery (which he so slyly told me on Friday we would go on Sunday when I told him "I WANNA GO"), and then we went to a super yuppie/trendy place called Joey's,
(waitress: so have you been to joey's before?
us: *look at each other, look back at the waitress* nope
waitress: *disgusted look* ooooohhhh...)
and then we basically wandered around the streets, the chapters, and the mall. That night we were suppose to babysit Matt's niece Isabelle, but I started thinking, "maybe it's a ploy..." but reassured myself it wasn't...sort of. It would of been perfect to ask me that day, besides the fact that both of us were sick. I'm actually glad he didn't ask then because the proposal would probably sound like this:
Matt: *gets down on one knee but needs to balance himself on near by bench because he feels faint* just a second
Amanda: *stuffed nose* nohka
Matt: Amanda will you *cough* marry *cough* me?
Amanda: ES, ES ni mill mairy new! *kleenex*
Matt: I think I'm going to hurl...
Amanda: *HACK*
So my hunch ended up being wrong (not the first time), but the day went well besides being sick. We ended the day at Matt's brother's house to babysit for the evening, which always proves to be entertaining; Isabelle is quite the attention getter.
Here are some shots Matt and I took from our day!
