HORSE SENSE©
My
boyfriend Carl and I had been dating for several years when we decided it was
time for us to get married. It was
pretty cut and dried, not a lot of romance or discussion. We didn't want to spend a lot of money on a
ring because we were saving to buy some property where we could have a couple
of horses, a dream both of us had had since childhood.
We
always reserved our Saturday mornings for horseback riding at a friend's ranch
and one Saturday Carl told me to meet him extra early so we could watch the sun
come up from our favorite spot.
We
started our ride when it was still dark but both of us were wide awake and
looking forward to the ride. I had baked
fresh cinnamon rolls the night before and brought them along with a thermos of
hot coffee. The plan was to ride up into
the mountains as it got light and stop in time to watch the glorious sunrise
over the pasture down below.
As we
rode up the trail Carl reached over and touched my arm so tenderly it made me
want to cry. I just love that man so
much it hurts! I turned to smile at him
and saw that he was holding a little box out toward me. We walked our horses off to the side of the
trail and I opened the box to find a precious gold ring with little diamonds
all across the top. It was the most
beautiful ring I had ever seen.
"Carl"
I whispered, "I thought we weren't going to do this."
Carl
reached over and slipped the ring on my finger as my eyes filled with tears.
"Joanne,
I love you so much that I want every single person who sees you to notice that
you have a ring on your finger and know that our love for each other is a
special thing for us. That ring is
nothing fancy, but the depth of love it carries is beyond measure. Will you be my wife?"
What a
special moment in my life. That was
fifteen years ago and I'm reminded of it every time we ride our horses up that
trail to watch the sunrise together.
Drop by and let us help
you be her HERO!
