    He asked me to come visit him in Baltimore for the weekend and I said fine.  He knew anything out of the ordinary would ruin the surprise since I was becoming to inpatient and nosy, so he conspired with one of my  friends to convince me that his actual plan was to surprise me in my hometown when I went to visit over MLK weekend.  I had plans to get a mani/pedi and my hair fixed and everything.

    So the whole day, yesterday, I was having a bad day at work and honestly not looking forward to hopping on the train to go see him; it's only about an hour drive but I really just wanted to go home and sleep.  Plus he he kept texting me all day like "are you coming, are you coming?!'  I was so annoyed.  So the day finally ends and he keeps texting me talking about tell me when you reach the train station and stuff.  Then the plan went awry (not my fault); he was supposed to intercept me BEFORE I got on the train and the ticket area.  But he didnt know that there was a small ticket kiosk right in front of the boarding place.  So I got my ticket and boarded the train.  3 min before the train was scehduled to depart, he called me.  I told him I was on the train and he started freaking out b/c the train was about to leave.  So he starts yelling "GET OFF NOW!"  and I start yelling back "NO WHY WOULD I DO THAT, IM ALREADY ON".  So we argue back and forth for a about a minute and finally something clicked and I ran off the train just as it was leaving.  After I got off he was standing there so I kept yelling at him saying "WHY AREN'T YOU IN BMORE, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PICK ME UP, WHO'S GONNA PICK ME UP!"  It hadn't clicked for me at all.  AT ALL.  I just kept yelling at him and I didnt realize he was taking me to the main area of the train station (which is beautiful).  Finally he stops walking and he places my bag and coat on the floor.  So I start yelling again about how I dont want my clothes to get dirty and finally he tells me shut my mouth, HAHA.  Then he starts saying these wonderful things and I completely blanked out.  Like literally my mind went blank I dont even remember what he was saying.  I then looked to the side and his brother was standing there with and camera and I started freaking out even more!  He then got on one knee and I ran away!  lol, I came back and just jumped on him!  I dont remember him asking me to marry him or me saying yes even (we later recreated the scene at the hotel he booked for the night).  People clapped, pictures we taken, we went out to dinner.  Fun times!!

    Thanks you guys for all your support!

    Thanks everyone!!

    I was truly freaking out, I was so upset and much more concerned about the prospect of waiting in the cold at the Bmore station for someone to pick me up, ahahahaha.  He was looking at me like I was so crazy!

    @politichick yes it was union stations, the main entrance on 1st street! 

    @trailmix  I love the emerald b/c i think it goes so well with my dark skin tone!!
