Well my brother and his girlfriend finally left for their cruise to the Caribbean. They were supposed to leave yesterday and spend two days at my cousins house but she got sick so they left today instead.

But the biggest reason I'm excited is he going to propose to her. They've been together for 3 years and this will be his second wife. (He took his time and did it right this time around, lol.) What's funny is he planned the whole thing out. He got a loan to buy the ring, had the check sent to my house, put the money on my debit card so she wouldn't see the purchase, and then had the ring delivered to my house.

But the number one thing he forgot to do? Checking the ring size. He based it on a ring in her jewelry box which he never verified the size but just went by looks. So now he's 99% sure the ring will be too small. Bless his heart, he's a nervous wreck about it all cause he's worried she's going to be brokenhearted about it not fitting. I told him not to worry that she's going to be excited just by the proposal alone!

Now I just have to wait until they come back so I can hear all the details. I'm excited for the both of them!

That will be soooo romantic. Well she has ten fingers so I'm sure the ring will fit one of them. If not, there's always a necklace chain to hold it close to her heart till she can get it re-sized. What a nice true life story to read first thing in my morning.
