Can't afford to propose to my girlfriend, but today we pop the question. I've been sick for the past two weeks. She took care of me, so I wanted to surprise her. I started with a sign, but it was just missing something. So I headed over to the best flower shop in town, Trader Joe's. I wanted the flowers to match the occasion no I found a bouquet with some roses and remembered she needed lotion no I got her some rose scented hand cream. I made my way over to her place and she loves surprises. So I recorded her reaction and got down on one knee. And she said yes. But that wasn't the only thing I planned. We got deep dish pizza that had an amazing cheese pull. And while it wasn't Lou's, it was still satisfying. One of our favorite dates is to watch movies together. Unfortunately, she loves horror. So we saw Iron Love. And while it wasn't our favorite movie, it was still a perfect night. Today, the question was, will you be my Valentine? But I can't wait to ask her the one that makes it official. Now that I feel a whole lot better, the deliveries continue tomorrow. Forty four days in, dollars 1,942.56 out of 6,500.
