Secret Post #3: The Proposal

So I’m writing this in Chicago O’Hare International Airport. I’m waiting for a flight back to San Jose so I can drive up to RYLA and begin the week which will hopefully end in me being engaged. I came up with how I wanted to propose to her a looooong time ago.

Every year at RYLA, at breakfast on one of the last days of camp all the female counselors ask all the male counselors to come up front. They serenade us with a medley of songs. After they finish I’m going to get all the male counselors to help me serenade a song in return – “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.”


You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you
You’d be like heaven to touch
I want to hold you so much

At long last love has arrived
And I thank god I’m a live
You’re just too good to be t r ue
Can’t take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak

But if you feel like if eel
Please let me know that it’s real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you

(interlude)

I love you baby
And if it’s quite all right
I need you baby

To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby
Don’t bring me down
i pray oh pretty baby

Now that I’ve found each day
Let me love you baby
Let me loooooove you….


After the songs ends I’ll run up to the front and pop the question in front of everyone.

But Scott, what if the girls don’t do the medley? I have friends on the inside. They’ll make sure it happens. {:o)
