One Saturday morning

I still can not believe it. It's Tuesday morning and I am still grinning from ear to ear. On Saturday morning Brian knelt down on one knee and asked me to marry him. At least, that's what I think happened. It's difficult to recall what it all looked like through my tear filled eyes. I have no words to express the happiness I feel. I have been blessed with a man who has made loving him the easiest thing I have ever done. 

Here's how it all happened. It began with a note on my nightstand that led to a scavenger hunt as soon as I crawled out of bed at 7:30am, an unusually early wake-up call for me. I thought it was an early Easter game, but I was wrong! Here's the clues and where I found them.

Hey Friend!!

Here on your nightstand, you will find a clue. This clue has been designed to lead you to another clue, which will guide you to yet another. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to collect every single clue. An age-old rumor suggests there is a treasure awaiting the person who successfully completes this operation. I suppose there’s only one way to find out. You’re up, kid…

We met. We kissed. We fell in love. We cherish this place. (Collage of all important places to us at Rowan University given to me as a present from Brian the first Christmas after graduating)

Sometimes, I like to think I’m craftier than I actually am. The product may not be what I had once envisioned but the words ring oh so true. (A vase Brian designed, he does like to think he is crafty but his gifts are always heartfelt!)

Look behind you and down… this is where you leave your socks. (I go to bed with socks every night then throw them on the floor, it's a bad habit.)

What is your love language? As perfect as I think our relationship is, I never want to stop trying to make us better! (A book by Dr. Gary Chapman recommended by my dear friend Adriene.)

Often, when you wake up on a weekend you bypass me on the couch and head straight for these! (Cookies, I need something sweet in the morning.)

Everything you make here is so amazing. I’m so lucky. (The counter, I love cooking and made a resolution two years ago to become a great cook!)

Thanks for letting me hang this here. (Veterans Stadium St. sign. He gets Phillies in the house if I get Yankees.)

You’re so talented in so many ways – one of them being musically. Maybe you could play this more?? (The piano my sister and her husband bought me for Christmas. I have got to do a better job of practicing!)

We once sat here in camping chairs. Now we sit on this, the most comfortable of its kind! (Our couch, which took a million years to come but was so worth it.)

We met at a radio station that played all of these artists. (Our record wall! This took me forever to find.)

“I love you more today than yesterday…”

“How sweet it is to be loved by you…”

“I just called to say I love you…”

“I got you to kiss goodnight, I got you to hold me tight…”

“Baby I’m amazed at the way you love me all the time…”

These great love songs defined relationships and transcended generations. But you won’t hear them on the radio without a few commercials. Head over to the place we like to play all of our music and press play.

The Proposal!!
