Me being the remarkable romantic that I am, I took Nikki to the most romantic place in Pittsburgh, Barnes & Noble. We walked around the picturesque bookstore for about thirty minutes before we got kicked out at closing. I immediately asked her if she wanted to go to the second most romantic place in Pittsburgh, Walmart. We perused the aisles of the store, where I eventually learned what would be a very valuable lesson, "Don't throw things at Nikki, because she'll throw them back twice as hard." She threw a kickball and hit me square in the face, fell to the floor laughing hysterically, while crying out "I'm gonna pee, I'm gonna pee." This left me with two options: A) Steal the children's bike with the Cinderella paint job and cycle away from this nutjob as fast as I can, or B) Act like it didn't hurt at all, and laugh with her. Boy am I glad I chose option B.
On the third morning of our Serbian vacation, Stefan made a plan to hike Kablar Mountian with our Serbian native Strahinja as a tour guide. I was a little suspicious that he had something special planned since I had found the ring box two days earlier while searching Stefan's backpack for the Cheeze-Its we bought at the airport, but I played it cool. After an hour of hiking we got to the top and I thought to myself "okay here we go", but nothing happened. We signed a book and took a few pictures. I was rethinking all of the little things and thought that I had just mis-read the little signs. I then learned that there was a lookout. We made it over there and Strahinja suddenly "had to go to the bathroom". I turned around and Stefan was holding the same box I found earlier that week, my suspicions were correct! He did love me. Thankfully I said yes or I would have been left on top of the mountain.
