The Talk

I have found a new show that I like and I don't think I have written about it on here yet (if I have just stop reading). This new show is called The Talk. It is very similar to The View. It is hosted by Julie Chen (The Early Show) Holly Robinson Peete (Hangin' with Mr. Cooper) Sharon Osbourne (you know who she is), Leah Remini (King of Queens or Stacey off of Saved by the Bell when they worked at the beach club and Sara Gilbert (Rosanne). I used to be a big fan of The View but then I got really annoyed by Joy and since Elizabeth is the only Republican and she isn't the best representation I quit watching. I fell upon The Talk during one of our 6 snow day (Gov. Kasich, could you please hurry up the process to give us our calamity days back?). I like it because they don't talk about the political side of things. They just talk about everyday things. One day they talked about deal breakers and another they talked about pet peeves with significant others and yet another about keeping momentos. They all have different viewpoints but they don't argue with each other which is another thing I really like. Since it is on at 2 in the afternoon I never get to watch them in real-time, so thank goodness for DVR. The episode I am watching today is from Friday and they are all talking about when they were proposed to, so I thought I would share how Pat proposed to me. As you read you will probably be wondering how dumb I could be and not know it was coming but I had no clue!
We were on our way home from college becauase Spring Break was getting ready to start. Pat was going to spend the weekend in Coshocton and then go on to Woodville. He had been telling me for about 2 weeks that he wanted to take me out for a nice dinner Friday night and kept wondering where I wanted to go. Well there aren't really any nice restraunts in Coshocton and we couldn't go out of town because we were going to a play that night. Unbeknownst to me, Pat called my mom and she suggested Raven's Glenn a winery. On our way home it was raining and Pat kept complaining about the weather and I had never heard him complain about the weather but I didn't really think anything of it.
When we got to Raven's Glenn one of my friends was a waitress and she came over and talked to us. She had just broken off her engagement and was telling me how to not get engaged and that boys were stupid and on and on. (Poor Pat!) So we had our dinner and Pat asked me if I was ready to leave. I said yes and started putting my coat on and told me to wait a second. He came over to my side of them table and said "Stephanie we have been dating for about a year and a half and I love you so much..." He starting pulling something out of his pocket and at this point I really thought he just got me a present and had no idea what was going on, then he dropped to his knee. I never thought I would cry but the tears were instant! He swears I never said yes but I am pretty sure I did.
I don't think I stopped smiling for weeks! I had to give my ring back for a little while because it was too big but I got it back before I went back to school thank goodness!
Now you are probably wondering why Pat was so worried about the rain. Well he had planned to go for a walk at Lake Park and have candles surrounding one of the gazebos. My best friends Shyanne and Kristal were behind it all and were going to help and video it any everything. Well first the rain ruined plans and then there was a miscommunication and Shy and Kristal weren't going to be home until the following weekend because their Spring Break was a week later!
Everything turned out great though and I have no pictures but I can still see Pat coming around the table and getting down on one knee!
