"I'll be honest, I had a great suspicion that it was coming, and using context clues I was able to pinpoint the exact day. I didn't exactly know the 'where' or the 'how' Ryan had worked out. Knowing that I was too keen, Ryan came up with a plan within the plan to throw me off of the specifics. I assumed he was proposing at the historic Smith Tower in downtown Seattle because we were supposed to meet our friends there. But the day prior, one of our friends asked us if we could feed his cat around the time that we were to head to Smith Tower. I was mildly annoyed, like 'doesn't he know how important today is?!' Turns out, this was just a ruse to get us to that side of town without me being suspicious. When we got back on our way, Ryan took what I thought was a wrong turn into the parking lot of Judkins Park, a park that he lived near when we first started dating. Completely thrown, he suggested we get out of the car and go on a walk. When he found a quiet spot, he dropped to one knee and asked me to marry him! I, of course, said yes! Elated, I was impressed that he was able to still surprise me! To my previous suspicion, we then headed to Smith Tower to meet friends who had gathered for celebratory drinks at the top and finished the evening with a special dinner at one of our favorite restaurants!"
