Wow, where do I start. Yesterday was a day to remember. In the morning we went to Cal Sate Fullerton to see Erik's girlfriend Jamie graduate from college. It was hotter than hell!!!!! I should have known that it would be so hot, because there was an air show in Chino. Has anybody ever heard of an air show that wasn't on the hottest day of the year??? I tried to find her in the sea of black robes and hats, but was unsuccessful. Then when one of the rows got up and walked out, I spotted her. She has a "get out of my way" walk when she is mad, and she was walking the walk. We were across the field from Erik and Jamie's family and I called Erik to ask if that was Jamie, and her dad said that yes it was, she was twisted sister at that point. It was so F......ing hot for those poor graduates. We all survived the graduation then went to Jamie's house for a small graduation party. There is where the big event happened. Jamie's dad, Gary, was toasting Jamie and her accomplishments and then asked if there is someone who will now take her off his hands. Well, Erik came forward, went down on one knee and proposed to Jamie. She was stunned and the ring is beautiful. It didn't go exactly as Erik planned it, but he is quick on his feet and Gary gave him an opening, so he took it. We are looking forward to another Bengard wedding, no date set yet though. We LOVE our future daughter-in-law and the Caccavalle's are a great family. It is going to be a fun ride!!!
