Its been a long time coming. now its time to celebrate

It all started on one random Saturday working at Palo Verde. Josh picked up an extra shift and Karen, DaniLu and I had to make a trip out of the fence for supplies. We made our usually trek out to the C-Vans but we couldn't open them so off to the warehouse we went, Karen was on a mission to get into the c-vans, all we needed was a pair of side cutters. The three of us, walk into the warehouse and straight to Josh... I'm not going to say it was "love at first sight" but I was definitely smitten after meeting him. Fast forwards through all the boring work parts of this story now. We're headed back to the c-vans, Josh in tow to wait for security. Once we were finally able to get into the c-vans, we started moving what we needed into the truck. Josh was right there at my side to help me with any boxes I had, while poor DaniLu and Karen were left to themselves. At some point during this, he tried to lock me into the c-van. I just remember laughing with him and everything felt like we had know each other for forever. We got into the truck to leave, Karen driving, me in the middle and DaniLu in the passenger seat, when Karen notices something written in the dust on the Mirror. Two simple words that changed my life forever. "Call Me"

So you want to know how it happened? Well, if you ask the kids, they'll tell you it happened at dinner over a jar of parmesan cheese... okay okay let me explain. It was dinner time and we were having spaghetti tacos. yes, you read that right. Taco shells topped with Spaghetti. ( If you haven't tried this yet, trust me, its delicious. or "Bussin bussin" as Averie would say.) Anyways, you can't have spaghetti with out parmesan cheese. I looked everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE for this dang jar of cheese and I couldn't find it. Im frustrated and have given up and Josh is telling me I'm wrong, that we for sure have Parmesan cheese in the house. Because I just looked everywhere, I start to tell him " Well if you can find it then..." Before Averie interrupted with " YOU'LL FINALLY ASK DADDY TO MARRY YOU???" Now, we've been in a stand off for several years about who has to ask who, so because I know I'm right and there is no parmesan cheese in the house, I agree and said " Yes, Averie. If Dad can find it in the house tonight without leaving to buy some, then I will ask your dad to marry me." You know the saying " Open Mouth, Insert Foot"? Well..... It took him all but two minutes to FIND THE DAMN PARMESAN CHEESE in the fridge. Behind the pitcher of lemonade that I apparently didn't move. Let me tell you something, if you could have heard the laughter and cheers that erupted in my house after he pulled it out, you would have thought we won the lottery. I have never seen the kids so excited for something. Not even Disney World got this kind of reaction.
