However, the day almost didn't even happen! That Saturday morning, Andy and Robert went to go pick up some furniture (or they said that is what they were doing - never confirmed this!) and I spent the morning watching a movie and doing my own gel nails ... if any of you have ever done gel nails, you know how long they can take to make them look good! Looking back, I'm so happy that I spent the time that morning doing my nails - because I had no clue that he was going to propose that day (even though I had a feeling it would be soon, so I always was keeping my nails looking nice and usually fixed them up on Saturday mornings!)
When the guys got back from "moving furniture" they were ready to go... unfortunately, I was not. Andy got frustrated with me and told me to hurry up and get ready. I told him that I didn't really want to go and that they could just go without me. He got so frustrated with me because I had already messed up his first proposal idea (a weekend in Gatlinburg, Tennessee he wanted to go on) and told me that if I didn't go I was never going to keep any friends. Hahaha!! Well, he eventually apologized and some how convinced me to venture out of the house that February Saturday.
On our way up to the Vulcan, we took some pictures and took in the beautiful scenery. Birmingham is truly a beautiful place.
He did so well on my ring. It was my dream wedding ring that he told me was out of the question. Its a verragio ring and the sides of it are what I love so much. It looks like a princess crown.
Once we finally got to the top, we took some time to look around but I kept getting nervous because of the screws I noticed missing on the grate and the fact that you could see all the way down to the ground through the grated floor. Nerve racking!!
After about 20 minutes of being up at the top, I walked around the corner and Andy pointed out into the distance and told me to try and see if I could find his office. I sat there for a good minute looking out and when I didn't see it, I turned around to have him show me where it was. When I turned around, he was on one knee and asked me to marry him! I was so excited, I started crying. The good happy tears that happen when your heart is warm. :)

That day is truly a day that I will never forget. I feel so blessed to be able to look back on how great of a memory his proposal to me was. <3
