the best weekend ever!

Valentines weekend was the best weekend! It started on friday. I got 10 pink roses sent to me at work from Hiro.

on saturday, i went to french class in the morning, then left early to meet up with Hiro. He ended up taking me to a cat cafe. we got to eat lunch and play with cats for awhile. there was a really fluffy one hiding in a cat house, i really wanted to hold it. so i finally pulled it out. so cute!

after the cat cafe, went to the grocery store and bought stuff to make nama harumaki. both the cat cafe and this we had done when we were still just friends. after eating, we went to an arcade and played some video games.

sunday we went to church. then after church, Hiro said he had something to prepare so he went off, and i went to lunch. a few hours later, i got a mail on my phone, telling me to go to our park. a scavenger hunt! so i went to the park and exit 2 of the subway, was a hint. there were about 5 hints, leading me around the park. reminding me of some good times we spent there! (i accidentally missed a clue and ended up finding a different one- messing up the whole thing!) i wondered if he might propose, but i didnt want to ruin the special moment if it wasnt in the plans.

i got to the last hint and there was Hiro to tell me "happy valentines day!" we sat down on a bench and just chatted for awhile. he asked me what my favorite memory from the park was. i told him, then asked him. He said that he wanted to make a new one.

instantly, my palms started sweating. it was pretty cold out, but i was sweating a lot. he laughed and asked me what i thought he was going to say. then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! of course i said yes! i was/am so so so so so happy to be the future Mrs. Hirashiki!

after that, we went to my favorite french restaurant and had a nice dinner.

it was perfect. Life is good!

so now we are planning a sept 18th wedding. lots of stuff to do, but all in all, i am just looking forward to being married to the man i love!
