Question Popped!

"Ok, everbody! My brother, Robert, just took Sarah Young out on a hayride to pop the question. And I don't mean the 'Can-I-borrow-a-dollar' question." I was not there to hear Jeff say this, but apparently, he annouced this to my whole hijacked birthday party guests and then chaos ensued. Birthday decorations were torn down and "Congratulations" decor was put up.

Robert planned to kidnap me away from Jeff Martin, my sister, and my birthday party for a little "test hayride". The party was at the Martin's Farm and I really wanted to have some hayrides for the guests. Robert said that he and I should go for test ride because it was dark and Brennan (cousin and tractor driver) needed to figure out where to take the hay ride. I did not suspect a thing. We hopped up on the tractor and for some reason lots and lots of pictures were being taken. Strange, I thought, we are just going to be gone for a second. We rode all along the farm and ended up at the milking parlor down on the farm. It was all decorated with lights and an elegant dinner-for-two set up. I was so surprised that he would do this and it was then that I knew what Robert was up to. We hopped off the trailor and went into our fine dinner of bacon and chocolate covered pretzles (two of my favortie foods). Michael Buble was playing in the stereo (I was suprised Robert remembered that I mentioned a few days before that I liked Michael Buble). We ate and had fun talking, but time was moving along and there were no special questioned asked. I thought, maybe I assumed to soon and this is just a nice little birthday dinner surprise. But, of course, Robert said he had one more gift for me and he got out the ring that I had admired for the last few months. I said YES. We called for our hayride back up and everyone was waiting back at the Martin's!
