Here's how it happened.... about one month ago, daniel and i planned to have a day trip to san francisco on monday, december 17th. we would both take the day off, fly to sf in the morning and fly back to la the same night. we wanted to go just so that we can take a break from work and spend some time together. sunday night, i left the christmas concert to go to daniel's house by train. daniel picked me up and drove me to his house. when we arrived he told me to go put my stuff in his room because he had to clean something up in the backyard. when i got into his room i found my digital camera and jeans on his desk. a side note, i had been waiting for my digital camera and jeans to come in the mail from my mother all week. i was getting stressed a little because i wanted my camera for the trip but it never came. back to the story...i saw my camera and jeans on his desk. i was confused. there was a note on instructing me to turn it on and press play. there was a video of daniel in his shirt and tie. he explained to me that he flew to fresno last saturday to talk to my parents about our future. he said some other nice things and then asked me to meet him outside in his backyard. another side note, last saturday i was calling daniel over and over again but he did not pick up his phone or call me back. i got frustrated and ignored him when he called. he called me again later that night and wouldn't tell me what he did. so i was sad inside. here is a special treat for you all...daniel and his brother set up a webcam on his desk to catch my expression. enjoy!
daniel's backyard has a very beatiful tree house/gazebo on top of a hill. had put up lights around the raillings and candles on the steps leading to the tree house. i walked up the steps and went into the tree house and saw daniel waiting for me. then he proposed! here we are after he proposed. 
after he proposed, his friends came out yelling and screaming 
the whole time his brother, joe was filming us. here he is on the other side of the camera. 
introducing the future mrs. daniel lee. so weird! by the way daniel picked out the ring without knowing what i liked or what finger size i am. i think its beautiful and it fits perfectly! 
monday. the next day we went to sf as an engaged couple. the trip was so much more meaningful this way. daniel definitely caught me off guard. i wondered if he would ask me in sf but i tried to not to think that way because i didn't want to get my hopes us. so asking me the day before was a surprise. here are some highlights from the trip palace of fine arts...this place is beautiful. if you ever go to sf, you must visit this place. its so huge. 
fishermens' wharf... 
trolley... 
union square... 
ghirardelli square...mmm chocolate. we got free samples!  on the golden gate. we rented a car. we got a pt cruiser! we went to a bunch of other places like lombard street, sausalito, chinatown, and other random places. it was so fun! 
tuesday. we had lunch with his dad. then i took the train back home and found this at my house! jenie, susanna, yoonjee, grace, joyce, and ribby all came to celebrate my engagement with me!! we looked through magazines and watched the wedding planner. we drank hot coco with marshmallows, hot apple cider, crackers, chips, dip, and fruit! thank you my dear sisters! i love you so much...   its time for the magazines! 
more pictures and updates to come!! thank you so much for the phone calls, emails, texts messages, hugs, and congratulations. please keep us in your prayers! |
