Family blessing

Today we got back from visiting Grand Island for Easter.

This was finally my opportunity to talk to your mom and Kim in person and let them know my intention to ask you to marry me. I want their blessing!

You know how I am bad at keeping secrets or sneaking around, but I finally was able to talk to them each individually. I got to Kim first while you and your mom were taking a walk yesterday.

I think you knew what was going on today when I asked you to wait in the car while I thanked your mom, but that's the only opportunity I had all weekend! (right before we were headed back to Omaha)

Normally I'm pretty good about expressing my feelings, so I don't get too nervous or have to write things down. But asking your mom and Kim for their blessing was nerve racking and I want to do it right.

So... I wrote a note in my wallet and had it with me all weekend. Here's what the note said, although when I actually talked to your parents I didn't pull it out. I don't think I did as well on my improv version, but here's what it was suppose to be, according to my note:


Diana and Kim -

I love Tiffany. I love who she is as a person.  I love how she treats people around her. I love her smile and how funny she is.  I want to spend the rest of my life with her and take care of her. I want to know if you would give me your blessing to ask her to marry me.
