Ten years ago today, I was carrying around a ring in my pocket and waiting for just the right moment to take it out and pop the question. It was a moment that I had carefully planned out and hoped would turn out right.
Only a few months earlier I had met this girl who seemed too good to be true. Cynthia Conrad wasn't like anyone else. Besides the fact that she was beautiful, lots of fun to be around and had become my best friend, I realized that I couldn't live without her. She was a perfect match for me.
I remember being nervous about asking her the question. Luckily for me, she said yes! That was the start of an awesome life together. October 14th, 2001, was one of those days that I won't ever forget!
