The Proposal

When it happened. . .Saturday, February 16, 2013

How he did it. . .

The proposal was in true Troy fashion.  He's in NYC for work, but had planned a post-Valentine's Day trip back home.  Prior to coming back, he had crafted a scheme with friends and co-workers as to how he'd pop the question.  And this is how it went down:

After making it back to the house, he hacked into my Facebook account and changed my relationship status to engaged.  From there, he played the waiting game, anticipating the moment when one of our friends would call to congratulate me.  A while later, our friend Anna called, offering best wishes for the engagement.  I had NO clue what she was referring to, and was clearly confused on our phone call, but when I turned to Troy he had the ring in his hand.  I promptly told Anna, "I'm going to have to call you back" and then commenced with the shock and happy tears.

I was so happy, the occasion was appropriately intimate, and I was so happy to have Anna share the experience with us!  A great start to this life-long journey of marriage together. . .
