The Proposal ...according to Brittany

The days leading up to the big question were spent at Tyler's grandparent's house. We stopped first in San Jose to visit the Winchester Mystery House. Straight craziness. I mean, really. I had visited it before when I was younger but to contemplate as an adult the crazy thought process of Sarah Winchester is mind bottling. But I digress.
Don't you hate when people you don't know ruin a picture? Anyway, We did that, went to lunch, did a little shopping. Looking back, Tyler was uncharacteristically patient while I looked through H&M fourteen times.

That night we went to dinner with his grandparent's, the conversation consisting of how the two met...over 50 years ago! They went to prom together...awwww!

The next day, Saturday, was fairly uneventful. Just relaxing, shopping, and eating--a perfect weekend away from Chico before school started.  That night we went to a fancy dinner. The shirt Tyler originally had on was just too casual for me and he changed it without complaining. I should of known something was up then.

At dinner he was super antsy and nervous. His grandfather kept telling him to relax. Side note: all of these observations meant nothing to me until later. I was too busy eating my escargot and guzzling Lemon Drop Martinis. It pisses me off how clueless I was.

Then....

We left the restaurant. Outside, his grandfather wanted to take a picture of us... totally obvious, right? Nope. Brittany is still freakin' clueless. At one point during the photo sesh I felt Tyler pull away from me, his hand on his pocket...

Me being the clueless idiot I am goes, "What the heck are you doing? We're taking a picture!"

I ruin everything.

Then, finally.....

We head back to the house. When we get back he asks me to go for a walk... I decline saying I'm too full. Can't say he didn't try, right?!

We decided to watch a movie. Tyler's being super sweet and cuddly during it. Again, why the heck did I not think something was up?? ;) He kissed me. Then says, "I don't want to be kissing my girlfriend, I want to be kissing my fiance..." Then gets down on one knee and asks me to marry him.

Of course I said yes. :)

The movie we were watching and that I hardly remember?

The Proposal.

six feet under.

Six Feet Under. Just the latest in the line of shows that the Mrs. and I "own." Own as in street basketball term for "all over it" or "been there, done that." This one is short, but an ode to the almost-extra human Michael C. Hall. I pray he is around long enough to see on Broadway and even way longer so we can see him in Vegas!! ::ba da dum dah:: ::BAM!!:: Here is to minimal pain and a speedy recovery for the most saintly Broadway-performing queer, serial killer ever. This one's for you.

Domestics.

The five domestic spots that I would like to visit. I have been to a few of them already, but no reason not to go back. In no particular order and why:

1. New York City, NY
Why: Christmas/New Year's.

I am not a fan of its teams or fans, but the sports franchises are legendary.

2. Miami, FL
Why: Multiple cruise lines port in this sexy ass city.

The beaches and nightlife.

3. San Diego, CA
Why: My birthplace.

Once again, the beaches and quite honestly, the pace of life.

4. Seaside Heights, NJ
Why:

5. New Orleans, LA
Why: The overall history.

Just seems bad ass. Not just at Mardi Gras (but, that too.)

Happy New Year!

Twenty-ten marks our fifth year together.


And the year Tyler will grow the most mountain-man beards.
He shaved it yesterday and immediately decided he looks like a baby without it.
I just can't wait until it grows back!!
Can you feeeel that sarcasm?

Anyway, happy new year to you and yours! It's going to be a good year, I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes...

Shit Tyler sends me at work

The student who works in front of me definitely thinks I'm completely nuts. But come on, how could you not laugh out loud to this randomness?











I think we need to watch Christmas Vacation tonight for the 9th time this month.Oh and sorry about that mini skirt...I threw up a little in my mouth too.
