It's Jeanine's birthday and I will fly out to Germany in the evening on the same day to celebrate my mom's birthday the next day.

Jeanine and I talked about the topic marriage before and it was just a matter of time when I propose. Jeanine started tell her mom that we are pre-engaged a couple of days ago. And soon her whole family started to congratulate us. Even on her birthday. Funny because I was planning to pop the question today.

Jeanine expressed her desire to eat lunch at her favorite SF restaurant, Scoma's. When it was time for dessert I switched the dessert menu and ...

... I hoped she would like the special of the day ... and some champagne to celebrate ... She did!

Doesn't my fiancée (what a beautiful word) look gorgous?! We are both very confident and looking forward with joy on our future together.
