[WARNING][MUSHYSTORY][/WARNING]

I have fallen sick [in love, gross i know] over the past few months and have now decided it is time to make it known.

To make a long story short…

I recently got back together with my childhood sweetheart. She was my first girlfriend and first kiss 14 years ago. We’ve been great friends ever since and recently reunited when she moved back to WNY from North Carolina.

The day went perfect, scheduled a combat-style dog fight with a couple retired F-16 Fighter pilots in their acrobatic planes. After about an hour of flying and pulling some pretty aggressive maneuvers she hit about 4.5 G’s and handled it really well. (a true sign of being a keeper)

We went back to our childhood hang out and walked along the creek that we used to run and hide by when we would hide from her parents. (I was 14, she was 12)

At the spot where we had our first kiss, i dropped to my knee and asked her to marry me.

I am proud to announce (sorry to Skunk, Krazyjon, and FoxFagGT) that I am officially off the market.

162 Diamonds, plus the big one… all set in Palladium.

I have officially fallen victim to the biggest scam in the world… Diamonds.

cue awesome 80’s song… “Another one bites the dust”

I had a creative touch into the engagement ring as well… I drew the design in CAD based on what she liked when we went shopping and submitted that to the jewler. The ring was custom made, but not by me.
