Engagement

It had been a very tiring week at work, but we had Friday plans to pick up sushi from one of our favorite spots: Uroko. We arrived a bit early and ordered some matcha from Medici, then sat there while our food was being prepared. I asked Jennifer if there was anything she wanted to do after we ate, and she shrugged sleepily. "Nothing I can think of, but I'd probably say 'yes' to anything after sushi." She'd probably say yes to anything after sushi, eh? After a fantastic sushi dinner, I pulled out two little boxes. They were "blind boxes" with little figurines in them, but where you don't know exactly what you're going to get. I handed her one and said, "Since we didn't get each other anniversary gifts, I figured we could open these as anniversary gifts instead." Jennifer opens her box and pulls out a cute, pudgy little monster. She puts it on the table, looks up, and asks, "So what'd you get?" I pulled out the ring. And, true to her word, after eating sushi, she was willing to say "yes" to anything.
