She's Waited A LONG Time...

After 12 plus years, one child (moi!), countless fights, even more make-ups, my dad finally proposed to my mom!!!
YAY!!!
Now you may be thinking 'Huh, it's on her middle finger?'....well other than the fact that she likes to whip people off, the ring is actually too big for her tiny hand and needs to be resized.
Isn't it pretty?!?

To be honest none of us saw it coming and after 12 consecutive years together we def. didn't think that it was going to happen now, if ever. I must give kudos to my Daddy-O though because the way it was described, it was done in an awesome way.

I wasn't there but my parents went away to Las Vegas this past weekend to celebrate my Nan's 80th birthday and on one of their last nights there by Dad and Mom took a walk over to the Bellagio and during their infamous water show my Dad proposed!

I'm so excited for them, not only because I'm their kid and who doesn't want their parents to be married and be happy but they have both been through so much with each other these past years that making this commitment to each other is a wonderful step for both of them : )

I couldn't pass up the amazing opportunity to celebrate and surprise them so when they arrived back home I got them a cake to celebrate with.
The flash took my mom by surprise but my Dad like me is always camera ready...lol!! : )
Both of them with their cake!!
I will admit though that I did threaten my mother that she better not steal my shine with her engagement and marriage....sorry mama, that's how I roll!

Yay for my Mudda and Fahja!!!
