Christmas Eve 2011, after a long day of fun at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (we are complete nerds), hubby decides to be a sneaky sneakster and ask me to go out and pick up dinner.

As I am roaming the isles of Target I am completely oblivious to the amazingness that is waiting for me at home! As I walk up to the apartment, I notice hubby's car is gone and there is a note on the door...not just any note...A CLUE. This was the first clue in my upcoming 2 hour scavenger hunt around town. Every clue rhymed and made me nervously laugh because I honestly had no idea what would be waiting for me at the end.

What are these genius clues you ask, that would make Dr. Seuss roll over in his grave?

• If I were a duck Id hang out here while you feed me bread. Since I cant, Ill just hang out here instead. (We feed the ducks at this huge pond by Target all the time)
• I love to park here when I want something Swedish, probably to eat something meatish! (We always park in the same spot at Ikea and we both love the meatballs :)
• I have never seen a train on these tracks. The road sucks, its always cracked! (This led me to a back road we always take with broken train tracks)
• Dunkin Donuts makes me go nuts! Why would anyone ever throw these away?! (Near the dumpster at Dunkin Donuts where we used to eat breakfast alot)
• If you could sit anywhere in the mall, choose here so asleep I could fall. (We have these couches in ZGallerie that we used to go sit on once a week...we will buy them this year, I promise!)
• Youre already in the mall...If you were me, Id check the tree! (He left a clue in the GIANT christmas tree hanging from a ornament in the middle of the mall)
• Now its time to head back. Be prepared for your gift, and a heart attack!
• You'll find an ornament thats not the same. Yoda would say "find it, and end will your game!" (My hubby is perfect. enough said.)

As I headed to the tree there was a new stocking ornament and I picked it up and felt nothing inside so of course, I throw it on the table. The ring falls out onto the floor and I scream YES!!!! Hubby never even had a chance, did he? And like any good wife who ruins surprises, a few days later I proceeded to ask why he never got on one knee and confessed his undying love to me. :)

Here is the ring I fell in love with

a 14k white gold 3 stone ring with a center 1.5k diamond.

I know what horrible rap song just popped into your head...
"everytime I come around your city, bling blinggg"
I think its perfect and never give up the opportunity to show it off
