Dinner for Two


I am participating in the Tablescape Thursday over at Between Naps on the Porch for the first time. My fiance is out of town until tomorrow, so I'll surprise him with a simply nice dinner for two on our new kitchen counter.


We only just finished putting our kitchen counters in, for over the past year we've had to make-do with granite tile and chipboard.

We now have oak butcher block from IKEA, after several coats of waterlox they are now installed. The other half of our kitchen has been installed for over 6 months, and we love them.

Simple. Now, what should I make for dinner?

Engaged

I'm engaged, that's right!

So, we had a nice trip planned for my 26th birthday at The Davenport in Spokane,WA. We stayed in a parlor suite then had a delicious dinner by the fireplace. It was after dinner Cory proposed in the Marie Antoinette ballroom.

Funny enough, on our way up...we were looking at the sayings on the bottom of our Sobe drinks and guess what mine said, 'Marry Me'.

Based On A True Story

Written by my fiance Cory.
 
Born in Rock Springs, Wyoming where I spent the first five years of my life living in Reliance. I attended Reliance Elementary before moving to Elko, Nevada.
 

In Elko, my dad worked at Newmont Gold Company while my mom eventually started working in massage therapy. Vacations were to Eugene to visit Grandee and Papa, and the coast. In Elko I attended Spring Creek Elementary.
 

 


When I was ten, I went to Norfolk, Virginia with my parents and my brother to attend my uncle Mike's wedding.


We went to Disney Land, when I was fourteen or fifteen. 
 
I went to Spring Creek high school when I was thirteen. I participated in track and field. Later, when I was sixteen I got a job at Kory's marketplace as a courtesy clerk. Before being promoted to the video department.
 
In my senior year, I got a job at the Elko Daily Free Press. For the year after I graduated I went to GBC Great Basin College. That same year we went on a vacation to Hawaii with family from my mom's side.
 

At twenty my parents and I moved to Tri-Cities, Washington where I attended Columbia Basin College where I got my associates and then Washington State University where I got my bachelors.
 
I had jobs at The Digital Image, Kiona Publishing, PS Media before going off on my own.
 
At twenty-six, I bought my first home and started several businesses and went on another family trip to Hawaii with family from my mom's side. That year I also got Mono.
 
I met Kiki, when I was twenty-nine and we were engaged twenty months after our first date. We have travelled to Las Vegas twice, stayed at The Davenport and visited Boston.
