My son brought his future wife to the ranch some years ago. He got up early the next morning, started up the feed truck and headed to the pasture. My thought to my now daughter-in-law was that she better get used to it if she was going to hang out with my hunting son. Didn't say anything, just held my tongue and went to breakfast. Mid-morning he returned with no comment about where he had been or what he had done. Fast forward to late that evening. He loaded the bride-to-be in the feed truck and took her a couple of miles back into the ranch where he had written "Will you marry me ?" with rocks that he had placed on the side of a slope.

just as a follow up, since she doesnt read this forum..

we went to travaasa and it was pretty dang nice, good for couples. no kids allowed anyhow.

unfortunately they have an infinity pool which lies above lake travis (or what's left of it) with a little man who comes around delivering margaritas. ...more about that in a bit.

after a long day, she went to get her spa massage and i hauled butt up to the local HEB for flowers, chocolates and champagne and proposed on the balcony.



that was nice..

then i started drinking champagne.. most of it actually.

went to the oasis for dinner, had another margarita..

then i thought "now is a good time to talk about finances and how she should stop paying rent when she basically lives with me already".

yeah... it wasn't a good time to discuss that. kinda flubbed that one.

oh well.. small little fight, which i lost, alls good now.

anyhow, travaasa, not bad.
