The Surprise of My Life

This morning started out great as usual if not a bit better than most. After morning coffee and shower Felixx asked me to get dressed to go sightseeing around San Diego. I agreed and we set off first to Persidio Park and see the Serra Museum. We spent about 45 minutes to an hour there looking around the museum and the park surrounding it. Little did I know Felixx had a ulterior motive for going there but more on that later.

Then after that he drove me to the city of Del Mar and took me around to see it. After driving around Del Mar he took me to Point Loma Seafood for lunch (which is absoultely awesome and has become one of my favorite places to eat). After a fabulous lunch of a crab cake sandwich, we took off and started driving around again. Then we ended up Seaport Village and walked around there, enjoyed the sights. Around this time the sun was about an hour and a half to setting on the horizon. So Felixx decided that he wanted go to Mt. Soledad to watch the sun set. But was we go up there, not only was it really cold but we could not see the sun set into the sea because there was another mountain blocking the view. Kinda of disappointed we started to drive off Mt. Soledad, I saw a section of a beach that looked very familiar to me. And it was La Jolla Shores, the first beach in Cali Felixx ever took me when I first visited him in San Diego. I pointed it out him and he agreed that that would be a great place to watch the sunset.

So we get down there, find parking and walk out on the sand. It was so beautiful around that time because of the setting sun. The sky was a perfect mix of blue, blush, and orange. There was very little people there, the temperature was perfect, and the wind was blowing ever so nicely. We walked towards Scripps Pier and stood there to watch the sun set. As we watching the sun go down, Felixx suggested that I take a picture of the sunset. So I pulled out my camera and proceed to take a picture of the sunset. But Felixx said "Wait, you have to take the picture when the sun is half way down so hold up the camera and I will tell you when to take the picutre." So I hold up the camera as he was saying "Okay, get ready..."

I am pointing my camera at the sunset and then he said "Okay, now!" I took this picture:


If you can't tell, it the open, underside of a ring box from Whitehall Co. really, really close up. Apparently Felixx pulled the box out of his back pocket and shoved it in front of my camera. Right after I snapped the picture I realized what it was and I screamed like a mad woman. Inside the box was beautiful diamond solitaire ring and 5 diamond wedding band. The diamond ring, he proceeded to tell me, was his mother's ring and the 5 diamond wedding band was his mother's mother wedding ring and its at least 60 years old.

After the story of the rings, he asked the question "Will you marry me?"

I said yes but it was blurred with crying and tears of happiness.

He told me before I move out to Cali that he would marry me but I still got a surprise of my life.

As we continued to walk on the beach he told me that he decided that today was the day he was going to "drop the bomb" on me (as he refer to it to his friends). He used the outting of draging me everywhere in San Diego as a way to find the perfect place to propose to me. He considered Persidio Park but changed his mind at the last minute because it was too hot and it didn't feel right. Every place we went to was a place he considered proposing but it just didn't feel right. It wasn't till I mentioned Scripps Pier did it hit him like a jackpot bell.

So under Scripps Pier he proposed and I am the happiest I have ever been.


PS. Patty (aka Mom) thank you for making this day so wonderful for the both of us. We love you lots! Thanks for welcoming me into the family.
