Well I know it's been to long but lately I've just been in an exploring mood and haven't had the chance to even figure out my thoughts let alone right them down. But here we go!
So we left for Disneyland on June 24th it was a typical rainy Seattle day. Luckily a few short hours later we landed and were welcomed by some very much appreciated sun and heat :) We spent our first day in down town Disney looking at shops and enjoying the weather! (Yes we both got burnt on our first day!) I was actually excited about it lol. Anyways...that night we went to see Cars 2 (its super cute!). Great way to start a birthday week and vacation with my love :) The next day Konrad woke me up bright and early to make sure we were in the park right when it opened! I'm so thankful he did! I actually had tears to my eyes when they welcomed us in. I don't know what it is about Disneyland but being there right at opening is something magical :) We spent the day riding rides and having a blast! At least until the corn dog incident! I ended up getting sick and spending some time back at the hotel trying to feel better. Luckily after a hour or so it was time to hit the park again! It was a blast. The following day was my birthday (June 26th). Konrad let me sleep in and we didn't end up hitting up the park until about 10am. I was totally okay with that! haha. First thing we did was visit city hall for my birthday pin and then to the "mad hatter" for my birthday ears that they special put "Becca's 20th" on just for me! Love them and such a great keepsake to have. The rest of the day we went on tons of rides and we were greeted with constant "happy birthdays" (its one of the things the workers are suppose to do and it helps make your day special!) Indiana Jones ended up being my favorite ride. We rode it at least 6 times and even stood in line during numerous breakdowns :) For my birthday lunch we hit up The Golden Horse Shoe. One of Konrad's favorite places because they have a funny comedy act with "Billy and the Hillbilly's". I enjoyed it and my surprise sundae :)The dinner story.....so to back track on the first day at the park we rode pirates of the Caribbean. (for those of you who don't know this ride has a restaurant inside!) its hard to explain but pretty much your boat goes by all these tables that are lit with candle light:) I asked Konrad about it and he said that it was one of the most expensive restaurants in Disneyland and you have to have reservations months in advance to eat their. I was kinda bummed because it looked so romantic and cute but didn't think anything of it.......
Now fast forward....its about 6:30 the night of my birthday and Konrad said earlier that day he wanted to eat at seven. I was completely down for it since we had a late start to our day. So when 6:15 rolls around I start nagging about finding a place to eat because I was starving and wanted to be seated and eating close to seven. He kept taking his sweet time and wouldn't pick anywhere that sounded good to me. 6:45 hits and I'm tired of waiting I go find a place to sit and sulk. He comes over and says "fine lets go over to New Orleans square to look" so I'm following hoping we find something soon when BAM he walks right up to the Blue Bayou (the restaurant inside pirates!) I'm thinking "is he asking for a good place to eat" when all of a sudden he tells me to come over we have reservations for 7:10! What a punk hes made me wait and get cranky and now he hits me with one of the best surprises ever! I love that boy! It took forever to get seated but lucky us we got a table right next to the water so we could wave at the boats and one even sang happy birthday to me! Anyways we sit down and I reach to hold his hand when BAM again he pulls out a small little box (girls you know whats in it)...a ring...NOW HOLD ON BEFORE YOU GET TO EXCITED....its just a "I love you ring" I know Konrad would go to the end of the earth for me but he is also one of the most logical people I know and waiting for an engagement ring is what is best right now...I'm 20 and not ready to be married yet not even to the love of my life. But coming from him that meant the world. You see Konrad isn't fond of rings that are "just because" after seeing some things happen with his friends so for this to happen I was in total shock and completely thankful! Needless to say it was an amazing birthday and he did a fabulous job treating me like a "PRINCESS" :)
Our exciting adventures through Disneyland, California Adventure, and Knott's came to an end on June 29th. It was sad to leave. Konrad's been in love with the "Golden State" since he could remember and I just fell in love with the weather. Its hot but not humid! Perfect in a sense. We have now spent the time since planning our next trip to Vegas and trying to think of any way possible to make it back to oh so sunny Southern California!
