pulling the trigger

well while on vacation, the girlfriend, the kids and I were in McCall ID walking thru town and eating ice cream. the kids were rolling down a big hill towards the lake and the sun was starting to set. well I came up with an excuse to get away for a moment while Melissa took the kids to the end of the dock to get pics of the kids and sunset. I got into the truck and grabbed the titanium ring I had made for her and mosied down to the dock to meet up with them and while she had her back turned to me looking at the kids, i got down on 1 knee and she turned around and I did the deed.

Now engaged, have not set a date yet but going to have the wedding in Prosser Washington at my aunt and uncles winery. thinking of right after the kids get out of school this coming year.

You figured he was planning something? How the heck did you figure THAT? What'd you think, it was a toss-up between his girlfriend and YOU?

There are 2 sayings you must learn in order to keep you happily married.

#1. "Yes dear"

#2. "Anything you say dear"
