This Monday I took Traci to New York City which was part of her Christmas present. We got off of the train in Penn Station and started the day with lunch at Serendipity 3. Then we started walking all through the city checking out attractions and stores along the way. Eventually we ended up in Washington Square at 5PM only to find that the whole park was in a shambles, they were doing construction on the park. This foiled my plans so quickly thinking on my feet I recommended we hop on the subway and catch the sunset over Upper New York Bay from Battery Park. It was there that I told Traci I loved her and proposed. She said yes! Below is a picture from the train ride back.

PS. I was originally planning on proposing in Washington Square and couldn't help but laugh when I saw that it was such a mess. I really think that God was laughing at me right then and I had no idea what I was going to do. Fortunately we made it there ahead of schedule so I quickly decided to catch the sunset from Battery Park. Everything worked out in the end and I was actually glad I did it there because it was less crowded. The moral of this story is that you should always have a backup plan when it comes to proposing. Guys don't be like me, take note now.

Caleb is the big winner (well actually, I guess Rick is!)
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
congratulations rick!!! :)
p.s. whatever happened to the six month plan?? =p
Congrats, Ricky! =)
Technically speaking, Chris, nobody (except Rick of course) wins. If we play by the rules typically used on such prestigious television shows like "The Price Is Right", the winner is the closest bidder that stays under the actual value. Since everybody bid over the actual value, everybody is disqualified.
Wow, I was way off. I guess 9 months is a really bad courtship model. I shall consult his knowledgeableness, Joshua Harris, for the proper courtship duration. ;-)
Congrats Rick and Traci! The Healey House will gain another family member :-)
Alas for my lack of faith in not thinking the hand of God could move sooner...
Congratulations Rick and Traci!
