“Let’s have a sunrise breakfast?!” So...she was supposed to leave Tuesday, August 11th to head back to Panama and I had made arrangements for that day to go and look at a couple rings with my mother. Well ends up that her car breaks down, which I was accused of rigging! I wish i’d of thought of that...but no. Anyways, so she’s still in town but I had to go do this ring shopping! So I told her I’d be back that I had an appointment that I had already scheduled not planning on her being here that I had to keep. So my mother and I go and pick out a ring and buy it. It was either Wednesday or Thursday I called down to ask her mother if I could come down and crash at their place, and after her saying yes I then called her father to see if I could meet with him before I saw her that Friday. Lacy had no idea I was coming. She thought I was going to be working on my Masters Degree project, which I probably should have been, but I had something more important on my mind. So it was my last flex day at school and I rented a car and took off immediately after work. We talked several times throughout the trip and I had to be very careful to not let her know I was in the car because she thought that I was hard at work! So I get down there and have to wait a bit b/c her sister is singing at a rodeo in a competition and I needed to meet with her dad first! To blow some time I went on a scouting trip to figure out how to get to the top of Cavanal. I found it and figured out where this proposal was going to happen. After that her dad was finally done with the competition and met me at McDonalds. Now, thats not exactly the sort of place i’d always imagined asking a father for permission to marry his daughter, but, it’s a small town and pretty much all that was available! So after I receive permission I sneak over to her house to get there before she does. I know she won’t realize I'm there because it’s not my car but a rental! So when she arrives I pop out from behind her parents Suburban and surprise her! She is totally shocked and I love it! I tell her that I have this idea for a Sunrise Breakfast on top of Cavanal. She likes the sound of it so we hang out for a bit and then get some rest before the early morning date! So 5AM rolls around and we both get up and get ready and drive off to the top of Cavanal. We are up there and the sunrise was PERFECT that morning. Absolutely Beautiful! We took all sorts of fun pics of it too. I had made us some hot tea and picked up some muffins and we ate breakfast on a blanket just enjoying a beautiful morning. Then when the sun had rose almost fully I decided it was time. She had been taking pictures so tell her “You can put the camera down now” and as she goes to do it she turns to see me down on my knee. I pull out the ring and propose to her right there! It was amazing really! I didn’t just get a yes...i got a “YES! YES! YES’A MASTA!!!!!”
