We had a great end to 2005. Our Xmas holiday was wonderful, followed by a trip down to PV the next day. Even more exciting was the day after when Nick and Ashley arrived. Nick had planned it for a month. He had bought a ring while here over Thanksgiving. He had only to ask the question…We had dinner reservations and I purposely was not ready yet. Nick had only to convince Ashley to take a walk on the beach. The only problem is, she had just showered for dinner and didn’t want to go. Nick’s pouting finally convinced her.
Once on the beach, he wanted to walk on the sand. Once again Ashley balked. More pouting. He finally turned to her and asked the same question that Danny had posed to me almost 29 years ago: “What would you say if I asked you to marry me?” Ashley replied that he couldn’t ask because he didn’t have a ring. “What if I do?” More back and forth until she answered yes. That’s the short story. You can ask either one of them for the rest.
Our trip was highlighted by us renting a boat and going out whale watching. You can view all the pictures, but we had a wonderful time. The only damper was that it tired us out so much, our New Year’s Eve celebration was really nothing at all. But it was all worth it: the PV trip, the whale watching and most of all, we’ve gained a daughter-in-law to be – sometime in 2007!
