    The Proposal

    Tommy couldn't not have done this more perfectly. 

    We had dinner reservations at the Beach Bistro on Anna Maria Island (a restuarant I really recommend).  It's a smaller place, but awesome.  He said he was taking me out to celebrate the successful launch of Metromix.  All throughout dinner he is being really quiet, drinking tons of water, sweating and shaking.  I asked him if he was feeling alright and he said that he was hadn't been feeling well all week and was slightly clostrophobic.   Halfway through dinner he got up and went to the bathroom.  He now says that he had to go re-group himself.  I should have known something was up when he didn't really want dessert, haha.

    As we walked out of the restaurant he suggested that we take a walk on the beach.  He wan't to clear his head, and I just thought it would be a beautiful evening to walk on the beach.  We walked a little down the beach and then sat down on some steps.  Or, I sat down, and he got up a couple times to find the right spot to sit.  At this point I'm like, "What's wrong with you?"

    He finally got settled and sat next to me, and started saying sweet, sweet things.  I thought he was being cute and put my arms around him.  He very quickly shook me off and said, "Get off me!"  (He would probably like me to point out here that he felt like he was going to pass out).  He got down on one knee, and pulled out the ring, and said, "I can't wait anymore, will you marry me?"  I grabed the ring, and said, "Yes, are you serious?  Are you serious?  Are you serious?!?!" 

    A group of people down the beach started heckling us..."Get a room!" they shouted, until one of them releazed, "OMG!  He's proposing!!"  She comes running up and says, "I have a camera, want me to take a picture and send to you?"  It couldn't have been more perfect!!  I'm such a lucky girl!!!
