It's Official...

I will soon be Mrs. Jeff Stevens! 

I know all my readers were just sitting around waiting for this day! 

Jeff and I have known for a while that we wanted to get married and that we did not want a long engagement but there was just one little problem... finding a break in his med school schedule to actually have a wedding! A few weeks ago my sister came in town, Jeff and I showed her a picture of two different rings that I liked and that he would be choosing between. She had a definite opinion but did not really want to share in case it was not the one he picked... they are just a like in so many ways so I should have know they would like the same one! 

Here it is!

Saturday marked two years since the day we met. We had planned a nice dinner at The Republic, a steakhouse here in town, and then a night out with friends at The Corner Bar (surprise surprise). That morning I went with Rach to find her a wedding dress. We found one and its absolutely gorgeous! I was so happy to be part of her dress shopping process! After that I met Jeff at Chili's for lunch, he was going to go study for a bit and pick up the next season of The Closer, because we have been watching the series dvds lately. I was going to take a nap and start some laundry. That afternoon we watched tv together and then got ready for our evening. I was insistent on wearing my white pants with this purple top I had just picked up at Dillard's earlier in the week. Jeff kept saying I should wear shorts or a dress because its so hot outside but I thought why when we would be eating inside anyway. Little did I know we would be spending some time outside. You all know my love for wine so it wont surprise you that I agreed to leave early to go to the restaurant to have some before or reservation. As we passed Research Park Jeff said he had a surprise for me... I was so excited! "Are we going on a picnic?" I asked... he said "Stop guessing bub you'll ruin the surprise." 

He then informed me that this was a trial run because we already have plans for dinner but we could have drinks at the park! I was pumped! He actually got me a picnic basket! We took my new basket, complete with a picnic blanket, down near the pond where we opened a bottle of champagne (which could possibly be illegal ha). We talked about how this time two years ago we were just meeting and look how far we've come since then. Jeff took the ring out of his pocket and I started to panic because I had my other rings on, it was hot so my fingers were swelling, and I could not get it off haha. I managed to get my other ring off just in time!

After that we sat there talking for a while, finished our drinks, and then went to dinner to celebrate! 

Jeff had also gotten me my favorite dessert, a chocolate tart from Cafe Eccel, so after dinner and before we went to Corner I enjoyed every bite of it! 

We spent the rest of the night celebrating with friends on the rooftop of our favorite hangout!
