How to propose?

I told Nanci that the diamond I had ordered hadn’t arrived yet, however it arrived earlier last week. This is my lame attempt at surprising her with the “official” on my knees, ring in hand, proposal. You see, when we first met, she told me that her only requirement was that she be surprised when I proposed.

Of course, this sent my mind reeling, coming up with crazy ways to propose. Shall I hide the ring in food? Shall I hire a sky writer? One night while watching her favorite TV show, “Friends”, the episode came on where Feebies boyfriend was trying all these same crazy ways to propose. He was failing. Nanci commented to me that I should never try to do any lame ideas like that. Great.

All I know is that I only have until Friday to get the stone mounted, ring sized, and do the official proposal, before I fly out on Friday night to drop the kids off in Florida.
