All about me Part 3

Lets see what you can learn about me today!

     I was pretty heartbroke when Jay left to be with his family for Christmas. I was set to pick him up at the San Francisco Airport on December 26th, 2003. I thought I would be all cute and romantic and pick up a couple red roses to have for my honey. I was standing there just before the security line with lots of other people. I wasn't really paying much attention to what was going on around me, just looking past everyone and waiting for Jay to come out.

     I saw a guy walking through security from the passenger area carying a sign that said "Amber Leanne Brown".  It took me a few minutes to recognize that it was my name that was on his sign. I just thought he was looking for someone like in the movies, ya know.  I loudly yelled to the man that my name was on the paper he was holding. He handed it to me and said Merry Christmas. I thought oh how cute.. and just kept waiting for Jay to show up.

     I noticed another person coming through also holding a sign. That one read, "I never want". When she saw me holding my name sign she smiled and handed me hers and also said Merry Christmas. I was trying to figure what was going on. I soon saw more signs that read, "To spend another", "Moment away from"..... and Jay finally came out holding a sign that said "You". I got all weepy and as he handed me the last sign he got down on his knee and opened up a ring box and proposed...

     Of course I said yes (obviously) and the entire airport erupted in cheers and woo hoos. Here is our engagement photo. We took it in front of the pool hall / bar that we met at.

  2. The passengers on the plane were so great to be willing to help me out! I was hiding behind a partial wall just outside the gate. I snuck a couple peeks around the corner trying to watch her reaction. :)
