Engagement

For those of you who don't know - we were engaged January 15th, 2006 in Chicago, IL. When Sticky and I met our first official date was in Chicago, IL (he lived in Madison, WI and I lived in Columbus, OH at the time - so it seemed like the most logical place to meet) with plans to attend a Reds/Cubs game. We walked on Lake Shore Drive all the way from the Chicago River to Wrigley Field. Along the way we stopped in some locally owned establishments for refreshments. It was the perfect day - great weather, great food/drinks, great baseball and great company. It will always be a day that I will remember. So that brings us to the locale of the engagement - right across from a restaurant/bar where we enjoyed lunch on that baseball weekend. I should of figured it out but I didn't. He proposed (in a bar - how appropriate!) and of course I said "Yes!" It was the perfect surprise with a gorgeous ring to match. I was so surprised I did not even think to take a picture - go figure! So that is our engagement story minus the gushy details!
