I absolutely love a good proposal story. I love getting together with a newly engaged friend and hearing her tell all the details about how he popped the question. Heck, I've even listened to people I barely know tell me all about their engagement!
This engagement is breathtaking!
Wow!

I had big, big dreams!
When I was little I wanted nothing more then to be a truck driver.
Yeeeeeup, I wanted to drive a big rig all across the country. Living out of my truck and seeing the world! Well maybe not the world but a large chunk of Canada anyhow. However, that wasn't the end of my dream. Oh no! I not only wanted to drive truck but I wanted to own my own trucking business! That's right! My dad even had a special hat made for me one Christmas. It had a purple semi on it with "JB Trucking" scrawled across it.
The dream even went so far that I wrote songs about it...I will share one of those with you now!

You might need to know this...
One time this summer I wound up sleeping in my car in a Walmart parking lot.
Weeeeeell it wasn't so much I "wound up" doing it as I wanted to do it. So, instead of making plans to find a place to stay that one night I pulled into a Walmart and made my dreams come true!
Here's what you need to know should you find yourself in a scenario similar...
1. Location, location, location. Where you park for the night is important. You don't want to park in the spots close to the Walmart doors (especially the ones with a blue wheelchair marking them, that's a biiiiig no no!) because everyone coming in and out of the doors while you're trying to get ready for bed can see inside your car. Aaaawkward. Try to find a place close to RVs but not too close. You'll feel secure knowing there are other people spending the night there as well but you'll also have a sense of privacy...well as much as you can sleeping in a car anyway.
2. Use Walmart to your advantage but don't make yourself too at home. Sure you can go in before they close to use the bathroom, brush your teeth you could even change into your jammies if you are really brave. However, don't take things too far! It's probably best to avoid taking a sponge bath in the bathroom sink, settling in to watch a movie before bed, drinking milk from the carton and putting it back in the cooler or inviting your friends over for a game of Cranium.
3. Make your bed as comfy as possible. I think this is a given in any sleeping situation. Am I wrong?
4. Be as discreet as you can when changing from your day clothes into your jammies. Remember, public exposure is wrong! Perhaps putting a skirt on over top to change beneath would work for you? Or if you're of the male persuasion, changing under a blanket? Either way, there's no need to put on a show!
5. Be prepared for the Random Factor. You never know what's going to happen in a Walmart parking lot! Teenagers playing with shopping carts at 2am, dad's giving driving lessons, cars backfiring, kids in the RV close by crying, men relieving themselves in the decorative trees (sorry to tell ya Walmart workers). The Walmart parking lot comes alive after hours!
6. Crack the car window. Not too much mind you. Just enough to keep the air fresh. You know sometimes when you wake up and the room is stuffy, covered with that sleep smell? Much worse inside a car.
7. Enjoy your sleep. Though it may be interrupted often,it may be cramped and there's not much privacy enjoy the experience I say.
