The Post You've All Been Waiting For

Last Saturday was our 4th dating anniversary. To celebrate, Nick took me downtown to this awesome little French Restaurant overlooking Pike Place Market. There were roses waiting for me on the table. It was perfect. The restaurant is called Chez Shea. We did the tasting menu which is an eight course meal that lets you try a bunch of the things on their menu. You can see the menu at their website. I was kinda scared for the Foie Gras but it was actually really good. My favorite quote from the dinner: Nick-"So, four years huh? Sorry." It made me laugh a lot. Here's me with my roses outside the front door:



We sat right inside the top corner window. This is a view from down at the market.


We enjoyed wonderful scenery as we left the restaurant.


All dressed up for the evening.

So the original plan was to go the Rose Garden at the Woodland Park Zoo right after dinner. Unfortunately we got a little lost and arrived right as they were closing up so we decided to go back the next day.

It was a beautiful garden with thousands of amazing roses. I was playing with Nick's camera trying to get some cool close up shots.





There is an adorable little gazebo at the back of the garden.

So we were sitting in the Gazebo taking pictures of ourselves when Nick gets all serious and asks if we could count this day as an extension of yesterday since we were supposed to be there the night before. Then he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring and asked me to marry him!! Just in case you were wondering, I said yes. This is a pic of where I was sitting when he asked and was taken right before.


We are still in the process of getting my ring so he proposed with his grandma's.

Here is a picture of the setting we have picked for my ring which I should probably get in a couple weeks!!!
