Howdy everybody,
Many of you already know, but for those of you who don't, I have an announcement to make.
A week ago today, in front of hundreds of people at a Lubbock Cotton Kings hockey game, I asked Erin to marry me. She said yes! After dating for over three years, I felt like the time was right for us to take our relationship to the next level. It was a complete surprise to her as she thought I was in Austin the night of the game/proposal. What made it all the more special was the fact that many of our close friends and family members were present to witness this exciting moment.
As of now, we do not have a wedding date set in stone, but it will probably be sometime in the summer of 2007.
At this time, I want to thank all of those who helped make this proposal a special, sucessful, and a secret up until the very end:
First and foremost, I want to thank Dana Jones and the entire Cotton Kings organization. Ya'll are amazing! I always wanted to do a wedding proposal like this and was glad that we were able to work with me. Without ya'll, this obviously wouldn't of happened. Thanks for making my dream become a reality. I will only ask this question once and wouldn't have wanted to do it any other way.
Robert, Marisa, and the rest of the gang at Robert Lance Jewelers - the ring is perfect! In Erin's words, she's very happy with her "fat rock!" Ya'll definately have the best selection, the best price, and by far the best quality. Thanks again!
Jerry and Don at Sharp's Flowers - the dozen roses were beautiful. There's a very funny story behind them that I'll have to share with ya'll someday though. haha. I hope ya'll are still doing weddings.
Kyle and the entire Powell family at Tuxedo Junction - it's hard to make me look good. I've learned to accept that. I looked pretty decent that night and have ya'll to thank. I appreciate that.
Dad and Heather - my "media team" as I liked calling them. They video taped and took pictures of the whole thing. Not to mention hid out with me and tried to keep me calm during the first period.
Thanks again for everybody's support, congrats, etc. We'll keep everybody updated on further developments.
Everybody take care and have a great weekend.
