It was my 27th birthday and Andy took the day off to spend the day with me. We had agreed to eat dim sum for lunch at Koi Palace but he had nothing planned after that, which I thought was strange for him to be unprepared to do anything. We went back to his house and he suggested that we go to this jewelry store that I had seen when I was working at the hospital. I was surprised because he kept telling me that maybe we'd be engaged towards the end of the year. So we went, looked at the ring he had got me nine months before, weddings bands, diamonds etc. After that we left the store and went to North Beach to go to this one spot up in a hill overlooking the Bay Bridge. It was a special place because on our 2nd date, we came there just to talk and found out that we wanted the same things in life and realized that we're probably with the one that we'll be with forever. We never returned to that spot until my birthday. He asked me again, "so its ok if we get engaged the end of this year right?”..... (He kept changing when he thought he'd like to ask me to marry him, although end of 2007 was something he had been saying for awhile). I also told him that it would be cool if this was a place that he’d propose to me in the future. (He told me later that he almost laughed when I said that). Then he told me that he got me b day present. (I told him earlier that month that I didn’t want anything for my birthday). He told me to take off my earrings and said he wanted to put them on me. He told me to close my eyes and as I waited, he got on his knee and asked me to be his wife! I was SO surprised! Of course I said yes! Then we wanted to go to dinner, and I thought we were going to walk into this place near by but he pulled into the front of Tommy Toy's in the financial district and said we'd give this place another try. We walked in and when I opened the door... all of our friends and family were standing along the wall and each other them gave me a rose and gave both of us hugs! It was such an overwhelming moment. I am so blessed to have family like that. They had known all along that this day was coming. Everything had been planned for months. Little did I know that it was a huge surprise and that I was able to share that moment with everyone. I will never forget my 27th birthday.
