Tee 0 #1 August 12, 2002 Good morning! I have some more good news for everyone. Yesterday was Bryan's 1000th jump and I was bummed out because I couldn't be in on the jump with him. They were planning a 10 way formation load with 2 cessnas and off they went. I was out in the landing area as they were all coming in and thought it was a little strange that Bryan was the high guy under canopy because he is usually the first one down but I just dismissed it. Then, as each of our friends landed they would run over to me, take a rose out of their jumpsuit, hand it to me and give me a kiss. Now I knew something was going on, so I looked around for Bryan landing and he came over with his rose, gave me my kiss, got down on his knee and asked me to marry him! (and in case you are wondering, I said yes ) So I got to be part of his skydive after all. And the even cuter part was that he has the ring all picked out but because nothing will fit my hands at this point of being 9 months preggo, he pulled out one of those candy rings with the big candy diamonds and asked me with that! lol lol Just had to let everyone know!

Shark 0 #3 August 12, 2002 Congrats! That was very nice. Especially at the dz landing area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites nws01 0 #4 August 12, 2002 Congrats! That is really, really cool of him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Sebazz1 2 #5 August 12, 2002 Exellent!! I am super happy for you two... So when you have the baby you still will not be able to jump together. One on the ground baby sitting while the other gets to jump and visa versa. Though after 9 months of carrying around the baby in your belly I would think it would be more like two jumps for you one for him and so on Congrats!!!

Ha ha ha...That's the best I've heard in a while. I feel so sorry for you guys, never knowing if you're being a gentleman by opening a door for a woman or whether you're being a chauvenist. For me, I'm a feminist, but not the bra-burning type. I believe in equality of all people, genders and races. I'm an idealist at times and a realist at times. In this case, I feel it is simply a tradition and doesn't have some underlying submissive tone. To me, it's about praising the woman you want to be yours. Or vice versa, if a woman asked a man to marry her. Either way. But for most women, stand up, bend on one knee or do a hula dance, it doesn't matter. It's the question that matters.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Pammi 0 #18 August 12, 2002 That's fantastic!!
