IMG_5159I proposed to Sarah.

The night before I’d taken the chocolate out of her Starbucks Advent calendar and replaced it with a clue. That one led to another clue. The hunt took her all around the house and even online to some websites I’d made. It eventually led back to the calendar where I hid the ring in the box for Dec. 24th.

After the hunt Sarah wrote, “The beginning of the rest of our lives,” on the side of the box for the 11th. This year we socked the calendar Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Rollos and Hershey’s Kisses. Today Sarah and I shared 2 Kisses during our morning coffee. I took a picture of the calendar and we reminisced in how awesome the last two years have been.

    That is so sweet. I hope to find a guy who makes as much effort for his girl as you do.

    That’s just about the sweetest thing I’ve ever read. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now :)

    Aw man how awesome is this? This is where I am going to stop reading for today cuz it doesn’t get any better.

    I hid anniversary presents all over the house on our 1-year wedding anniversary (even in the freezer) and my husband followed the notes. It was very fun.

    You the man, Billy. Who’s the man? You are.

    I’ve got the 5 year anniversary coming up in a little over 12 months (we’re taking a cruise for our 4th), and I’m planning something momentous, but your method of proposal will be hard to beat.

    How cute! That is such a romantic proposal idea!
