my first mother's day

we had a really nice day...dennis surprised me with two beautiful cards (one from him and one from rj) and a really special gift he had designed and had made for me. it’s a white gold “R” with a diamond on the tail of the “R.” i got lucky that ryan's birthday is in april because the birthstone is a diamond!
that afternoon we went to howie and michelle’s for lunch...everyone brought something and dave did a great job of bbq-ing for the group.

there’s the “R” necklace...

rj and his mama...he's the reason i get to be celebrated today!

to top off the wonderful day, howie completely surprised everyone (except dennis) by proposing to michelle, which dennis caught on film, well disc. :) what a great day!!!

popping the question...good job, howie!

the reaction...

the beautiful ring...a real sparkler!
