A Very Important Question...

Tonight was a very special night. This was the night that I asked my best friend to be my maid of honor. I took her out to a place called Cabana on West End. This restaurant had the coolest atmosphere. There were glass doors that rolled up all around the entire place so the breeze just blew through and it had low lighting. Plus, it even had cabana type alcoves where you could close drapes and be very secluded. I made reservations at 8pm and the place was hopping with people, now mind you that this place stays open till 2am.

Katy and I had the works! We started off with Cabanas homemade chips and some kind of cheese dipping sauce. These chips were so good!

Katy and I were in the mood for pasta! Look at how yummy they look. I'm not even a fan of pasta that much and this was amazing. They were so full of flavor.


We finished off the evening with some delectable dessert and coffee.

This was my peanut butter cake. You could taste the real peanut butter but it had a mousse like substance. It was very good, Travis was kind of jealous thoguh.

Katy had a Coca-Cola cake. I have never had it before but it was really good but, oh so rich.

The rest of the evening was when I asked my bestie the famous question. I started out the speech like this:

"You don't know where I have been and what I have gone through. But when we moved here I didn't have the friends like I did in California. There was always someone to do something with. I never thought that I would have a best friend like that again. And then you came! There are so many thing about us that are so much the same and then there are so many things about us that are so different. I love you and you have become the person that I would call my best friend."

She got a little nervous at this point and had tears in her eyes. She then told me this:

"You have become that for me as well. I am not the person I use to be and I can't hang out with the people I once hung out with and expect to still be the person I need to be. I feel like I can tell you anything and I love you."

We both had our little moment and then I told her to open her present.

Here is what her present looked liked from the outside. It was gorgeous! I did have a little help from my mother though. I can't take all of the credit.

Isn't it just adorable!

When Katy pulled the bag out she thought I was asking her to be my bridesmaid but I told her that I could not find any cute bags that said maid of honor. It was at that point that she got all teary eyed.

At that point Katy told me that it would be her honor to be my maid of honor. And then we got so excited and started talking all about weddings and what we want and tons of girl stuff. This two men besides us kept looking over in our direction because I was taking so many pictures through dinner. After I apologized for my mothers bright flash they said, "Oh, we don't mind. I take pictures of my food all the time." Then he asked if we wanted him to take a picture of the both of us.

I had so much fun tonight with my girl. I am so happy because now I can talk about it. I have been holding it in for months because I wanted to wait until the right time and make it really special for the both of us.

Katy, I am so happy that you will be with me through this fun and joyous process. I love you so much girl!
