My engagement

So Saturday was an amazing day for me. First Woodsmith and I signed a lease for our first place together.  Then headed down to Pirate Fest.  And that's where my scavenger hunt began (and even though it wasn't in order I'm gonna talk about it as if it was).

First the gorgeous Lamain sent me a text saying she needed to speak to me.  I get there and am given an envelope, a fan, and told if I get confused to come and see her.  I open it and am told I'm starting a scavenger hunt.

My first stop took me to the Badger Blade deck (where he first saw me).  Where I was looking all around and thought maybe he meant somewhere else but Lamain informed me it was the right spot.  Finally I find a bottle with a rocket in it.

That led me to Mary (who I met on our first date).  Having a person who moves around makes things difficult when someone tells me they saw her on one side of site, get there to be told she's at front gate.  But I found her eventually.

Mary's note mentioned us seeing movie.  That movie (our second date) was also the night I got appendicitis.  And was the first time Woodsmith realized how much he cared about me.  Heading around got me up to our puppy friend who can be heard ALL over site.


Puppy's note sent me to the barber surgeon.  The note I got there was actually the first one and I'm glad because I would have never figured out to get there from the hint Woodsmith put in the note.  But that was the first place he called me his girlfriend and the prettyful Renee gave me that note.

From there I was sent to Fae (which is off limits during pirate fest to patrons, yay for being a cast photographer).  Honestly for the longest time in there I was looking for a cat since I am the Happycat but the nickname he was talking about was the one I got at my first HOIR party of the sin bin gnome.  I got a box and a new note there.

The new note sent me to the Pirate Ship which was probably the first real site work I did (the painting of the Watermelon Bridge came after) and my concussion.  Now, to start off, Woodsmith had mentioned he was putting his keys in the tent if I needed to get into the car.  I mentioned I remembered how to get in there and he said if I needed them for any reason they were there.  In the Pirate Ship was a locked box.  I promptly forgot about the keys and thought the key for the lock was in the box cause it didn't close all the way.  After shaking out everything but one thing from there (including the note) I was getting irritated.  So Twilight Teddy Bear helped me pop the lock and I got a winged horsey.

Horsey sent me to the coral (I play with the horses during Ren Faire which is why no one sees me).  There was a winged puppy there.  Now a horse is my spirit animal and a dog is the Woodsmith's.  Doggy had on a kilt and I was told to go to where the woodcarver works.  Now he does work at Woodsmith's building and the Scottish encampment so the kilt sent me to the right spot.

I get there and Woodsmith is waiting for me.  He has me find a flower bouquet.  Then he asks if I know what is going on.  Honestly I didn't suspect anything until trying to pry the lock when someone mentioned they proposed that way (dog solidified my thoughts) because at first I thought he was just being REALLY romantic about us moving in together.  So I say no and he asks what the woodcarver is always asking us (when are we getting married).  And so YAY! now we are engaged (I did say yes btw).
