Approximately five years ago, it was a rainy night and mom was watching the baseball playoffs in the basement of the sorority house. Her boyfriend was going to stop by to hang out a bit and watch the game. When he got over to the house, he wanted to go on a ride. Mom, being very comfortable in sweats watching baseball, insisted that they should just hang out there. Finally he said that he had something to give her. Mom also had something to give him, considering it was their 6 month anniversary of dating. (That saved dad - he had no idea it was 6 months!). So they went driving around in the rain and headed to a look out called Top of the World in Manhattan, KS. Dad presented mom with a photo album of their relationship. This was the last page of the album and as mom turned to read it dad had gotten out of truck and he was under the umbrella down on his knee. Mom was sure glad she went on that ride!
So, here we are five years later, watching the world series in sweats, its raining outside. We got some sparkling cider, had a nice dinner, then went on a truck ride.
It has definitely been 5 wonderful years!

You know Wagner, I really think that your Dad should have asked your Mom's brother before he took her for that ride (kidding)! But I remember when they came over to my house right after it happened and showed me the ring!
Here's to many more rainy October nights - Congratulations!
P.S. Maybe next year Rockies.
