This is the story of how I proposed...almost

I wanted to propose in a special way, but I wasn't for sure how to do it. I wasn't for sure of the day or time or how I wanted to propose. I didn't realize how much stress/pressure this put on me, so I started thinking of crazy ideas that would be unique to my personality. Little did I know what was about to unfold in the next couple weeks.

I first narrowed down the day. I knew I wanted to pick the weekend and I didn't want to wait much longer. So I picked the day using some of my favorite numbers (3/12/17).

I wanted to include our dog Zeyk because he loves her too. At this time, Zeyk had a dog vest we used when we took him out for walks. So, I was thinking of how to utilize him for the proposal.

I decided I was going to crinkle a small, padded envelope and put the ring in it and stick it half-way in his vest. I wanted it to look like trash because my ploy was to act like he got loose and ran away and somehow this "trash" got caught up in his vest.

HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED!!!

I snuck the ring out and took Zeyk on a walk. I tied him to a tree behind our apartment, which is part of a line of large shrubs and other little trees. Then I put the package in his vest and I had to run all the way around the apartment to get inside and told Kaylynn that he got free and I needed her help. I led her to the area where he was and my heart and stomach just sank.....

HE WAS NOT THERE!!!

All that I could see was his vest! Kaylynn is freaking out because the dog somehow got out of his vest and is missing. I am freaking out because I couldn't see the package.

He ended up being about 3 whole apartment buildings away (long apartments) and he started running back when he saw us. While she was distracted, I went to the vest and......

NO PACKAGE!!!

I frantically looked around! Thank the LORD, I saw the package laying on the ground a couple feet away! I hurried and grabbed it and stuck it in my coat without her seeing. As we headed back inside, I said out-loud..."Well, that was a complete fail!" Kaylynn said, "huh?" and I said, "Nothing, Nevermind"
