As I was saying...
I had a box decorated in heart printed paper that enclosed a bunch of Hershey's Kisses and paper hearts cut out of red and white paper which I used to write some of the many reason I loved him. The box also held my MP3 player with a note attached. The note reminded him that I use music to speak the words of my heart and I wanted him to hear what I was feeling...so he was instructed to listen ASAP...I put all this in the decorated box and then in another box which I'd purchased from the post office. I addressed it to the hotel and tried my darnest to make it look as if I'd sent it by USPS. I 'd left it for him at the front desk upon my arrival and finally..at 230 PM, he got to the hotel! I was soooo nervous! I was spying on him from the lobby and luckily, I didn't get busted. After about 10 minutes of his check in, I noticed that the box was still at the front desk. I told the girl at the front dest what I was doing and she got really excited and took the box up to Russ's room for me. I waited for another 15 minutes to see if Russ would call me but he didn't. I couldn't wait any longer. I had Christine, my accomplice from the front desk, take me to his room. She knocked on the door and I swear to you, Russ opened it the way Kramer does on the TV show Seinfeld.. It was hilarious! His hair was just as crazy, too...He had the headphones in his ears and a big, goofy grin on his face... I totally suprised him---which is really, really difficult to do (those of you who know him can testify in my behalf). He was suppose to listen to the song--Will You Marry Me? by Paula Abdul--and THEN I was to knock on his door and suprise him with my presence. BUT, my impatience ruined all that... he got to listen to the song while I was sitting next to him and after the song was over, he had a serious look on his face. He asked--why? and then followed up with "are you sure?"... I was kinda nervous, thinking he may reject me. But that's just how Russ is... He did say YES and we left the hotel to enjoy a nice italian dinner, San Francisco style and the rest is history! Our wedding date is set for March 6, 2009 (03-06-09) in Maui, Hawaii... We are so excited...

Let's add one more thing to the story. Russ being the jokester that he is had Stacy text her loved ones that he had said NO and she was flying home! To know him is to love him. . .
YEAH! Congratulations! We knew Russ was someone special! We are so happy that you have found someone that will take such great care of you (emotionally), you really deserve that! We know you're only having "close" family at the wedding, but still keep us updated. We love to hear it all!
Of course I will keep you updated.. So far, I'm just focusing on homework and work-ya know, all the fun stuff. I need to call you little miss... Thank you getting me a b-day present... That is just so sweet of you, but then, you have to be sweet cuz were related and everyone in our family is sweet-well, almost everyone is.
Oh yeah sis, I did leave that part out... That was the funniest part of all...especially how everyone except Mom knew immediately he was joking... yes, to know Russ is to love him.. same goes for Mom! HaHa. Give my nephew a big kiss from his Auntie Stacy... See you Friday!
Wow, thats quite a proposal! You're so creative and so brave. I'm so glad it all worked out. You look super happy and thats a great thing!! Good Luck with all the wedding plans. Can't wait to see the pics on those.
