I got Engaged on 2.17.07
So I Gavin went and did it. I popped the question to my girl of two years, and she said yes. I knew she would because she made it very clear she wanted me to, but it was still fun.
I took Sondra out in the country for a photo session, and had the ring in my pocket. There are some photo’s I took below. Most are posed, but the first one is actually the moment I pulled out the ring. I set the timer, sat beside her, and pulled it out just as the camera fired. Notice the open mouthed look on her face. Pretty fun.
I’m excited, but also a little nervous. It’s a big step. Though I did take my own engagement photo’s, I don’t intend to take my own wedding photo’s. That would just not work very well lol.
Here’s the moment I gave it to her. Nope this is not a reenactment.

Congratulations to both of you. I believe Jinny and I are probably a few that have seen this romance develop from just a square dancing partnership to a soon to be full blown “birth” of a family relationship. You are sincerely a one-of-a-kind couple and we are proud to know both of you.

Try this…. =/ not sure if it’ll work. You seem to have it working now, but I’m assuming floating is turned off right now.
