She said "Yes!"
The night was sublime - Christmas Eve, December 24th, 2007; at midnight!
God is so good!
He has turned my mourning into dancing - and given me more joy then I ever thought possible!
Sharon Kay Colyer - my fianceé! I praise the Lord! She is a stunning woman inside and out with a tremendous heart for Christ, a great wit, myriads of talent, and I love her so very much!

Sharon had no idea where we we're going. All she knew was "It will be dressy". After asking if she would mind driving her car ( a successful rouse!), the door opened to reveal a chauffeured Town Car waiting in the driveway. Our first stop? Where else! The Rancho Park Golf Club - to hit a bucket of balls with our friend Jeremy Lubbock!
Stealth, covert photographer Ed Rudolph captured a few great moments with my dear friend Jeremy...
Windy and Cold - but we were too excited to care!
Next location... Here we are in front of the Cheesecake Factory, Beverly Hills to reminisce about our first meet at the C.F. in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Meanwhile, back at the house, a bistro was created in front of the Christmas tree and a roaring fire. Our friends Byron and Rachel Talbot prepared and served us a six course gourmet extravaganza!
After dinner, the proposal ensued with words of love, lots of gifts and an excruciating parade of small ring boxes with various gifts inside. Finally, the ring was presented in a 4 inch pillow that Sharon had handmade a few weeks earlier!
Our first family photo - engaged - Christmas day! Praise God!
Here's a teeny video...
More to come!
