Engaged!

On April 11th, at sunset, on the cliffs of La Jolla Cove, I asked Tiffany Lynn Harvey to marry me! Better yet, she said YES! We had dinner at George's on the Cove. We had a great table in the corner over looking the cove and the ocean and enjoyed some great seafood. At one point during the dinner, Tiffany mentioned that she needed some dental floss. I told her that I had some in the car (this little fact will become important later). After finishing dinner earlier than expected, I stalled by asking Tiffany if she wanted to look in some shops. We checked out a few stores and also grabbed coffee and desert at a nearby cafe. We then strolled along the cliff's sidewalks and checked out the seals. At just about sunset, we reached a little patch of grass up on a bluff that had a great view of the breaking waves and rocks below. I babbled for a little bit about how great Tiffany is and how we will spend the rest of our lives together. Tiffany started to get some thoughts in her head of where this conversation was going. I then mentioned to her that I forgot that I had the floss in my pocket the whole time. Once I pulled out the floss, her thoughts changed gears. That is until I cracked open the floss case and pulled out the ring! It was random that she asked for it during dinner and I had only decided to put it in there a few hours before as I was walking around the hotel room looking for a smaller case than the one it came in so that it didn't look obvious in my pocket. Needless to say, she was very surprised and very happy. We'll be sure to keep you posted as we look to set a date and do all of that other marriage preparation type stuff. Thanks to Anastasia and Chris for letting us spend some time with them and Maddie this weekend. We had a great time.

How cool that Chris and I got to be with Sean and Tiffany the weekend of their engagement! We're all agreed that they mutually chose well and are ecstatic for the couple.

I can put Maddie in flower girl training as soon as Sean/Tiffany say the word. I wonder if witnessing her off-the-chart energy level put a dent in Sean's desire to have 6 kids.

The first time we met Tiffany, I said to Richard, "Sean's going to marry her." You two look so happy in those photos at La Jolla. I wish you a lifetime of that kind of happiness. Love, Ellen

People always say, 'you marry the whole family.'

I think that's supposed to be scary in most cases, but all I can say is, 'I can't wait!' I love spending time with all of you and look forward to officially calling you family!
