First off, if you haven't seen my raffle post check it out here:

I am holding this raffle to raise our money for Morphicon.
I am raffling off a $50 commission set for tickets that are only four dollars. It's quite a deal!
And, for those of you who have seen it, I originally said that I would just leave the raffle open ended but now I've decided that that's not true. I will be closing the raffle a week from today - Friday May 8th. So for those of you who haven't grabbed a ticket yet, I'd so go ahead and do that before the slots fill up.
Like I said, it's a great deal - and you're even allowed to commission more than one character. This would be a great way to get something done for a friend!

On another note - I had the most incredible day on Wednesday.
First I woke up and messed around on the computer a bit before waking up with some snuggles and such...
Then we both hopped in the shower to clean up and got dressed.
We headed to a bakery where we found these giant cupcakes with raspberry cream frosting. So we grabbed two of those and headed over to ChikFilA for lunch.
We had a great lunch of yummy chicken goodness that neither of us have had in quite a while. We even had a coupon for free chicken nuggets that we could share. AND we slurped a little and got me a fruit cup. What could be better than sitting in "your" booth, looking out the window at the pretty flowers, and eating great food with your mate? Not too much...
After we ate our lunch we grabbed our above mentioned cupcakes and went over to Cuyahoga Falls. We carefully snuck down by the water and ate our cupcakes together while watching the waterfalls and ducks.
After we were finished we took a walk around since I really do like the area a lot. There was plenty of flowers growing, kisses and hugs, laughing and conversation, and I even took some pictures of us. We managed to walk around until we found a part I had never been to before. There were more waterfalls hidden behind this building with a concrete ramp leading out over to them. It was very moving to watch the power of these falls and hold my boyfriend. Very uplifting... think that Titanic scene xD
After we enjoyed the falls we decided to go find the near by Schwebel's bread outlet. We didn't really find anything of interest so we headed on with our travels.
We were headed towards the mall but on our way we stopped to look at a few stores - PetSmart, Deal$ [which is kind of like a dollar store], and Ambiance. And let me tell you, I've never had a problem going into the adult shops. In fact,I find it fun and enjoyable... but being there with I was very shy and nervous. Although, I did manage to find something I want to get whenever I have extra money for it...
So as I said - after we stopped at those couple of stores we headed towards the mall. We did our regular thing: went to the bathroom, looked at the cute panties at Victoria's, looked around in Spencer's... Then we stopped at two of the jewlery stores in the middle of the mall.
Now, it's been discussed that wanted to get me a promise ring. In fact, he wanted to get it for me for our 6th month but we couldn't afford it at the time. It was also understood that we were just looking at the time and would decide on it after we had checked a couple of places out.
The first store was pushy and were trying to sell me things that I didn't want. We even told them we were on a budget and she told me that "gemstone rings are not promise rings" and proceeded to show me some diamonds... I had found a ring there I liked but decided I would come back to it if that's what I really truly decided on.
So then we headed on to the nest jewler... The guy was helpful and nice and was trying to find something I had discribed. He did offer us a dimond as well but after we explained to him just how tight of a budget we were on - he got the hint and tried to find something else that I would like. I did like two of the rings and then I narrowed it down to one. The guy asked us if we wanted to get it now and when I was expecting to hear the "Oh, were just trying to get ideas" what I actually heard was simply say "yes." I about started crying...
I was deiniflty surprised by this and was very excited andpleased with his answer.I was freaking out and I even texted a few of you xD
I do need to go back since they're making me my own special ring in white gold and to get it resized. But for now I have the original ring we said "yes" to in gold that fits on my pinky. And yes - I do have the ring and I am now fully promised to which I couldn't be happier about.
After we were done being happy and :iconTrek had slid the ring onto my finger we went home for some Hamburger Helper, A Prairie Home Companion, and snuggles and sleep.
It was a very amazing day with a very amazing boy. And to think that all of it started as a normal day that had slept through the alarm...
I love you baby raccoon! And for all of you who read this - thank you for sharing this story with us!
