This post is waaaaayyyyy overdue, but last Saturday Samuel too me out on our first 'date'!!!
He came and picked me up and took me to Addison to fly over Dallas for about an hour!!!
Soooooo Romantic!!!! :)
We dropped by his work so he could show me the plane they've been working on...then, because he has a airport access badge, so we drove from his work to the plane rental out on the airport...airports are really neat places!!! :)
A huge map of the world in the waiting area...

us!!! :) we had to wait about 15 min. on the runway before we could take off, but the flight was wonderful!!!!!
a few planes waiting in line....

After we got back to the ground, Sam took me to this cute little park for a picnic! :)
He had to put some power of steering fluid in the truck....and I snuck pictures of him while he did it... :)
Darling little picnic for two..... :)

Taking random pictures while Samuel went back to the truck for something......
A vase of roses, a special question, an 'I love you', and a diamond solitaire ring!!!
Of course I said 'Yes!!!!!!' and we hugged for the first time, and said 'I love you' for the first time!!!
Back at the Schattes telling them the story and showing them the ring.... :)
For some reason we couldn't stop smiling..... ;)
