Chad took me up to Mammoth Cave for a picnic. He let me go look at the river while he set up the blanket. We enjoyed the picnic he packed while watching the fearless Mammoth Cave deer. After he cleaned up, he looked over at the base of a tree and said, "What's that?" So I went over and saw a little stuffed squirrel, and wondered what little kid had left their toy in the middle of the woods. Chad suggested I look at it, so I picked it up and Chad said, "What's he holding?" I pulled out a real acorn from between its paws and saw the cap had been cut off, and there was a wad of tissue inside it. That's when I (finally!) figured out there was a ring inside it, held by the squirrel Chad planted after he sent me down to the river. He got down on one knee and asked if I'd marry him!!! I said something like "Y(sob)e(sob)s(sob)!"
I've been showing off for a couple of days now, and don't intend to stop all that soon. I would have posted earlier, but I wanted to show a couple people (Kristi) in person.
And just as soon as I figure out how, I'll put up some pictures!

that should help you post your pictures. Congratulations, by the way. Married life is great. Love ya. -
I don't even know you but here is a really easy way to post...Upload your pics to photobucket.com after you have resized them to about 25%. Then use the "tag" line that is below each picture. Just copy it and then go to your pleo page and paste. This is much easier than the other way, I think. -
Yes I do too know you...this is Adam and Rosie Shumake! I just looked at the pic of you and your fiance. Congrats!
-
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW congratulations!! i am very happy for you!!! :) yay yay yay ♥ -
I knew before you did... haha! -

Cool! Thanks for the tips, guys! So this is Squeakums, the squirrel who held my ring for me.

And here's the best shot I could get of my ring. I'll try to get a better one, but my camera's not so good with close-ups. Just take my word for it that it's pretty and shiny!
-

Clearly, I'm still getting the hang of this picture thing. So regarding those captions, as Willy Wonka says, "Strike that, reverse it."
