Nicki and Michael

Nicki & Michael

Friday, December 28, 2012

I was told that we were going out for dinner so that we could meet Loretta Jane's boyfriend Mike. Upon speaking to Loretta, I was told that she was wearing a skirt. Apparently this sent me into a frenzy because Nicki and skirt hardly go together! So there I was trying on all sorts of outfits and hating EVERY PIECE OF CLOTHING I OWN! So, I had a little bit of a mental breakdown. I think I told Mike I wasn't going out, that I needed a whole new wardrobe. The works! I tried facetiming my sister and she wouldn't respond. Finally Micahel went to walk Daphne and last minute I changed into an outfit that was more 'me!' So Mike and I went to look for parking near Cielo, the Italian restuarant. There was no parking in the back so he decided to valet the car! We pull up and it's cold out so I keep on trying to go inside. Mike tells me how much he loves me ( I wasn't getting the point.), he told me how beautiful I looked(Still not getting the point), and then he told me how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me (Me still being like... okay me too let's go in) and that was when he got down on one knee. I started freaking out and crying! I of course said yes!!! We went inside the restuarant and the Maitre D and bartender started hugging me, and here I am thinking that they are hugging me bc they think I'm crying. Little do I know that when I turn the corner both of our families were there waiting. My mom, dad, sister, brother in law and Mike's parents, sibblings, and his aunts and uncles on his father's side! Everyone was there to celebrate and it was a beautiful event!
