Subj: I can think of one way to top this year's birthday, but that won't be for a few years :)

Since I'm the one who picks up the mail (we share a post office box), I had picked it up from the post office two weeks earlier. I had been bugging her since I knew what it was (Heroes Season 1 on DVD) that I should get it early, but she wouldn't bite.)

> > Anyway, I said I was over for my birthday present, and she immediately began to protest that I could not have it yet. So while she was off-guard and in mid-tirade (okay, tirade is a bit strong) I galantly dropped to one knee and asked her to marry me.

> > Really I could have said that I'd shot a hippo on the way over and had it stuffed in the deep freeze and she would have said "Yes" since Sarah admits she has no idea what I said, but she got the idea. \:\)

> > I led her on for a couple of weeks now that she would have to wait until November for me to propose. I admit I made a couple of verbal slips beforehand that Sarah said make a lot more sense now (she accepted my excuse that I simply misspoke at the time), but I think the combination of 2 weeks early with first thing in the morning on my birthday threw her for enough of a loop that I caught her completely by surprise.

> Congratulations Jay. You put in the effort and now you have the best birthday present you could have wished for...only problem is how can you top this next year? (The correct answer is that you'll have had the love of your life by your side with you for 12 months. Bonus points if she gets you Heroes season II as well.)
