Every fall since we started dating, Roger and I would go on a trip somewhere for our annual vacation. This last year we went to LA. I had never been to LA before but had always wanted to go. Roger told me that the weekend we had chosen to go the 49ers were playing the Rams in LA. The 49ers are Roger’s favorite team since he was a young boy who grew up watching football. An interesting side note my dad was a big fan of San Francisco when he was a younger man. Roger bought tickets to the game and I bought us tickets to Univeral Studios. So we got in to LA and went straight to Universal, which was like being a kid again. We ate dinner at a really amazing thai restaurant recommended to us by a friend. On Saturday I had made reservations at The Stinking Rose, the same restaurant we ate at when we went to San Francisco the first year we started dating, where we also went to a 49ers game. We decied to drive to the beach on Saturday and have a picnic. As we were enjoying the day on the beach Roger suggested we walk the beach and look for shells and rocks to take back to his nieces. As we were looking he bent down and said, “Look at this one.” I turned to look and he was on one knee with a ring in hand. I was surprised but didnt know how to respond because he did not ask me a question. So I asked, “ Are you going to ask me?” He replied, “ Will you marry me?” I said, “Yes!”
