We had a blast on our trip to Anaheim. It was relaxing. There was no plans really. Just the games. Or at least that was all that was planned!!
Friday: We left Vegas after Josh got off. Stopped for gas and Jack in the Box. Drove straight through. We got to the Hilton we pricelined to check in and the couldn't pull us up. I ran out to the car to get the confirmation to find out that we were at the wrong Hilton. Called Josh because I wasn't about to walk in there again. He grabbed his ID and walked out. Went to check into the right hotel. It turned out to be really nice suites. Living room/Bedroom deal. Asked the front desk if it was too far from the stadium to walk and she said "OH YEAH! Like 15 minutes in the car." We were kinda bummed because we didn't want to pay to park. Got to the room and went to bed.
Saturday: Slept in. Josh opened the curtains to find the stadium was the view out our window. Definitely walking distance. 
Got dressed in our Mariners get up. Went to McDonald's for breakfast. Went to the mall. Stopped at Target for some waters, baseball cards (didn't score any Mariner's cards), and a baseball for signatures at batting practice. No luck on the baseball. Stopped at Big 5 for a baseball. Got another pack of baseball cards (didn't score any Mariner's cards or Angels). Headed back to the hotel. He watched the NFL draft. I played on the computer and read a book. Went to eat dinner. Walked to the game early for batting practice. Check out the memorial they had for one of their pitchers who just died a few weeks ago in a car crash. He was hit by a drunk driver.
We were in the outfield for this game. 
Was close to catching a couple but not quite close enough. Sat next to some pretty cool Angels fans. Ate all the baseball junk food. The Mariner's ended up winning that game.

Headed straight to the game from their for batting practice. Hoped to get the stuff signed today because we were only 6 rows up from Mariner's dug out. No luck. It was a little league thing today so we weren't allowed in for batting practice. We got to watch them warm up a little. Josh was excited to watch Ken Griffey Jr. play again.
Sat next to some fun Mariner's fans. It was a little toasty this day. Applied sunscreen every other inning. They ended up loosing the game so there wasn't much to cheer for or so I thought. :) On the way out Josh asked if I wanted to go to Disneyland. I was kind of hesitant about going. I didn't want to pay for a whole days worth for only 5 or 6 hours and we both had to be the work the next day. I was kind of ready to go home. He convinced me so we went. We rode rides. Headed to the gift shop for some souvenirs. Ate some dinner. Rode more rides. We were getting tired but we decided to take our picture in front of the castle by those photographers that stand around. As she got ready to take it...he got down on one knee and started laughing. I looked at him and asked him..."are you going to ask me?" He said..."will you marry me?" and took the "souvenir" (a fake ring) he bought out of his pocket and I handed him the wrong hand. 
Everyone watching was clapping. We finally got the ring on the right hand and took a couple more pictures. 
As we were walking out of the park, I was already calling my parents. He was texting family and friends. I started texting everyone. Our phones were just going crazy, but it was awesome to read every ones response. After we were almost to the car, Josh reminded me that my purse was in the locker inside Disneyland. It was closing so only he could go in and get it. We made it back to the car finally. Stopped for gas and snacks and headed home. Talked about guest lists, the wedding party, and other wedding details in the way home. Got to his house and got my "real" ring. 
It is absolutely beautiful. He picked it all out him self. We called it a night and I headed home.
