Two Days Later

Please read the previous post "Birthday Get-A-Way" before reading this one!

We got back from our Chicago trip Thursday afternoon, May 25. What a quick, but exciting trip. We had both been to Chicago in the past, but never together and never shopping for what we shopped for. We made a special order and it would be delivered Friday morning, two days later, two days after Annie's birthday.

May 26, two days later, two days after Annie's birthday. It was a Friday morning, the FedEx truck arrived, the driver buzzed Rojelio's apartment, the package needed to be signed for. It was here, the purchase was now in Rojelio's possession. Rojelio checked it out to make sure it was in good condition; it was triple boxed if you can believe it.

Annie didn't see it, not yet anyway.

Still May 26, two days later, two days after Annie's birthday. The exciment of the package had somewhat subsided, we went on packing for the big move to Charlottesville, which was less than a week away.

Still May 26, two days later, two days after Annie's birthday.
7:00pm, we had just finished dinner. Rojelio asked Annie to sit with him on the sofa. After a long day of packing she gladly took a seat next to him. Also knowing what had happened two days earlier she was excited with anticipation.

After some words and tears of joy Rojelio, on bended knee, presented Annie with the package that had come; the purchase that was made two days earlier on Annie's birthday in Chicago.

As you see that purchase made two days earlier was an engagement ring that Rojelio would present to Annie two days later, two days after Annie's birthday, on May 26, 2006.

Annie replied, "Of course!"
