For the engagement I wanted to Surprise Wendy - and - that was no easy
task. We have been planning a trip to go Diving (Jeff dive - Wendy
beach/worry) and my plan was to propose there - but - I just knew she was
expecting it then - so - I had to do something creative so that she was caught
off guard.
Wendy wanted to get her nails and toenails all pretty before going to
Grand Cayman and she planned on doing it Thursday (December 6th) which worked
out perfect. What I did was write up a story line of our Journey together
and wrote the Journey on cards so that when she walked in after her nails, she
found a stairway covered with 4 dozen red and pink roses, the stairs lit by candle and these notes resting on every other
step.

With each new note, she climbed the step and continued our Journey
together. When she walked in I was standing watching her as she immediately
started to tear up (in joy...I think !!) When she got to the top and read
the last note - she turned around and I was standing there holding out the ring
as I dropped to one knee and asked her to marry me.
After many long moments (ok - not really - but...) she said 'YES'.
(And - the ring Fit !!!)
