We're Engaged!!!!!


My day started off normal. I knew Mik had the day planned to celebrate our 1 yr anniversary, but I didn't think what happened this day would really really happen on this day. We started off by making breakfast at the house. This is always hilarious since Mik is barely learning to boil water through me!



Beach
We spent the early part of the day at the beach. It was so relaxing. Perfect weather.
Mik took my guitar and to my surprise, he wanted to make the arrangement for 'you are my strength' - my song.

I loved it, sharing a part of my life, my past with him through that song. He then sang to me and we just had a great time.

Then we looked at the time and he said it was time to go. Even though I tried to get hints from him of what the rest of the day would be like, he said nothing. So we drove home to get ready for dinner reservations.

Mr. A's
Mik hadn't told me exactly where he was taking me to dinner. He just told me to dress up and that we had a reservation. He mentioned it was by Balboa Park, but even with that, I didn't know what restaurant he would be taking me to. We get there and I still don't know where we're going, its just a normal building from the outside.
So he tells me its in the 12th floor...Bertrands Mr. A's. It was beautiful. Expensive, but beautiful. You overlook all of downtown San Diego and the bay. It was an amazing amazing, delicious wine, salad, dinner, dessert, coffee, view and company. The staff were great, the whole experience was great, well worth the price!

They had asked us what we were celebrating so they brought this out at the end for us with our dessert....yummi!

Surprise Ride
After having an amazing and delicious dinner, he said the next and best part of the surprise was next but that first I needed to be blindfolded. What? ha. So I did as he asked an allowed him to blindfold me the whole way to the next location. I actually didn't mind, I love surprises and am hardly surprised! so it was a nice change and didn't want to cheat and ruin my surprise. Then again, I was tired, so it was a nice relaxing ride.

Gondola
So we get to the location, yet I'm still blind folded. Mik had to make a quick stop, which sort-a started making me think of what the surprise was....but again I didn't want to ruin it so I was good....and did whatever he said. (wow) So after he made me walk holding on to his arm for a while, even though I overheard people talking, someone yelled 'chuckie cheese', then walked through a metal bridge (in heels)....he uncovers my eyes and we're at 'the gondola company' :)
This is where we came for his birthday, and we absolutely loved the experience. It was a great way to continue our celebration.

Proposal
He asked 'Andreti' to stop the gondola. He stands up, I asked him what he was going to do, he said "I'm going to sing to you." The gondola moving side to side, I'm laughing and tell him to be careful...not to fall. Then he balances himself and start kneeling down. What are you doing? 'which is the leg I'm supposed to kneel with?'...'what??? what are you doing?, omg!'
He kneels and reaches in for his pocket, takes out a black box, opens it and extends it to me and says 'Johanna Cervantes, will you be my bride? YES! omg, of course I will!
