Sorry to keep everyone in suspense. I did it about 2 hours after my last post yesterday and haven't been able to get on the computer since (and I just finished an oil change in my SD )

She said yes instantly. She was completely taken by suprise. The place I did it had some significance to. On our first date we went to a Vikings game. We met in a parking lot of a sports bar and drove together. On the way there she told me she stopped in a parking lot (the one I stopped in last night to propose) because she felt that this (our relationship) was going to 'change her life'. Well it did. She really didn't suspect anything and when I walked around the back it finally sunk in and she started shaking. She loved everything about it. How I did it, the suprise, where I did it, using the car, the ring.

We are both thrilled and have already started talking about when we are going to do the wedding.

That's great and best wishes to you both. Now she does understand the Forum is part of the package and you have to have computer time? Instead of a wedding you can have a GTG.

AWWWWWW! Very cool! Congratulations to the two of you!

I second the ROAD TRIP idea!

You can get married at your favorite Indy or even better at the local 'pick-n-pull'!
