The skiddoing Proposal

(Weyburn, Sk, Canada)

My boyfriend and I where skidooing on a weekend with the kids all day. Before supper, we went off on a ride by ourselves leaving the little one behind with Grandpa and Grandma. We ride for a while – him doing jump and craving and I just ride. As I sit and watch and wait for him to see me just watching for him to come and see what's wrong – my heart is just pounding and racing.

Finally he notices that I have not moved in a while and comes to see what's wrong – and I say to him that I have come to realize that you are my heat when I am cold, you are my hero when I'm in need, you are my comfort when I am upset, you are my health when I am sick. You are the one I turn to when I need a hug, advice, care, friend, playmate and lover. You are one amazing guy. You are a wonderful father to our children Samantha, Stephnaie, Bri Ana and Jaxson. I would love for you to be my wonderful husband and complete our beautiful family. As I am finishing saying my piece, I show him the ring I got for him.

Then we go back to Grandma and Grandpa and let everyone know that we are engaged. We thanked grandma and grandpa for watching the kids – and celebrate by having chinese food for supper.
