Mile High Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Well last Saturday was my birthday and the only one to wish me a Happy Birthday on this board was Mead. Thanks Mead youdaman. Last year at least someone started a thread..... J/K J/k. Anyway, the day was so perfect and I don't usually get into my personal life on a message board, but I thought I'd kinda share the day with you, my internet peeps. The lady and I went out to her "camp" that her family owns up here in the Adirondacks and we spent the entire day out there. Started the day off right with a bottle of nice wine and kind of set the tone. We later fished off the dock then canoed around a little bit while enjoying the mountain views. The next part got kinda tricky because she didn't know what was to come. I stayed on the dock while she went up to cook us dinner and told her I would be fishing until darkness settled in. So she went up the path, while I ran around preparing everything. The walk to the house from the lake to the house is about 100 or so yards up the path. Now was the time. I set up 50 votives all the way up the path. Grabbed the champagne from the lake that I stashed there earlier in the day and hid it behind the boat. Then, I went up to the house to ensure she didn't suspect anything. And well she didn't. Then I went back down to the dock. Luckily I had cell phone service so I called her at the house and had her come down. I told her people were lost on the lake and needed her direction. It worked! Moving one single chair to the middle of the dock, I waited for her, with candels all around and the moon slowly rising, she came into view with tears of joy. I then asked her to sit down and told her I spoke with her father. I then got down on one knee and held her hand lightly. Telling her that this would be the best birthday present of all, I contuned on to ask for her hand in marriage. She accepted. This was the single best day of my life. My father told me when I was a boy that when you find the "person" you'll know. And he was right. This woman is the reason for my being and I thank god for her everyday. A day to remember and I'm the luckiest man alive.
