Karin and Jeff have a combined total of six children (mostly grown), four pets, and two jobs. This can make finding alone time quite difficult, so on lazy Sunday mornings, they try to make the most of the quiet. Jeff would wake up and cook the Trader Joes croissants and make tea to bring back upstairs for breakfast in bed. On the morning after Thanksgiving, Karin noticed that he brought up a beautiful new tea set and commented on it. Jeff explained that this was, in fact, their engagement tea set. He then asked her to marry him and she, quite happily, said yes.
