Wednesday

Wednesday was more NAB conference. Ando and I went separately this time because he bought a pass to go to some classes being offered. My work would not pay for this so I wasn't going to any classes on Wednesday with him. I still had a couple of things I needed to look at for work and knew I could do without Ando and I still had one whole hall I hadn't been to yet.

When I first got to the convention center I found the playback system and scheduler we use at our station to get a little more information. A dorky guy came up and asked if I had any questions, but it wasn't that smooth. I think he was little nervous talking to a girl, especially a pretty one right? There are not many girls walking around NAB especially younger ones.

In the afternoon I met up with Ando and we ate lunch together at the Las Vegas Hilton. It was then back to his classes and me walking around the hall. I finished walking around and seeing what I wanted to see at the huge conference so I headed back to our hotel. I took a little nap there while waiting for Ando to come back. I never really fell into a deep sleep, but it was still good to just rest my eyes.

When Ando got back to the hotel we both started getting ready for our night out on the town. We had made reservations for a nice steak house that night and I put on a dress and make-up. Yep Shando got all dolled up for a night in Vegas. I was even showing some cleavage in my dress.

Before we went to dinner Ando and I headed over to the MGM Grand for a drink ahead of time. We sat in a corner booth and ordered some drinks from the waitress. I was asking Ando if I should get dessert at the fancy restaurant that night, making a joke, and felt around his coat pocket when I felt a ring box. I asked what it was and he said I found it and asked me to marry him. Yep, Ando popped the question in Vegas and I ruined it, but in a way made it a true Shando and Ando proposal. I said yes of course and he put the ring on my finger.

After the drinks and proposal we headed off to dinner at the steak house. I had a couple of martini's and Ando had a seven and seven. The steak was delicious, the best I've ever had I'm pretty sure, and the potatoes and green beans were good too. The night was great and really couldn't have asked for anything more.

Ando and I went out for a fancy meal; He asked me to marry him!
