The Proposal

Gillette is about 2 hours from Deadwood, South Dakota, and one day Joe decided he wanted to go over and have some fun. (Deadwood is a gambling town.) We got his mom and dad to babysit Caden so that we didn't have to take him and headed over in the late afternoon. After a few hours of playing Joe asked me if I was hungry. I wasn't so I told him if he was he could grab something, but I didn't need to eat just yet. He kept asking me over and over again, but I just wasn't hungry. I kept thinking man he must really be hungry. So I told him we could head home. When we got to the car he was acting really weird, but I figured it had something to do with him being hungry. We started driving and about a couple miles out of Deadwood he just stops on the side of the road. I asked him what's wrong thinking we had a flat tire or something. He said nothing's wrong. AND TO BE HONEST I DON'T REMEMBER THE REST OF WHAT HE SAID.....BUT IT ENDED WITH WILL YOU MARRY ME!! Of course I said yes. Come to find out he wanted to go to dinner so bad so that he could ask me there. But because I didn't want to go he did it on side of the road. I know the side of the road may not be that romantic, but it didn't really matter to me where he asked, just that he did.
