I just wanted everyone to know that Mark proposed yesterday, September 29th, under the Century Tree at Texas A&M. I thought we were just going to the game and tailgating, but he had other plans. First of all, he had me wake up at 6:00am to make it to College Station to tailgate and I really didn't want to get there that early. I almost stayed home. Then we were walking across campus and we came upon the Century Tree. I was like, oh let's walk under it. I had no idea that is exactly where he wanted to go. When we got under the tree I saw some rose petals and said, Oh look someone must have proposed last night. Then he said, I don't have rose petals, but I do have this and he pulled out the ring!!! I was surprised!! He then got on one knee and proposed!! And of course I said YES!!
He supposedly has been planning this for months and everyone knew, but me. It was a complete surprise. Mark your calendars for a June wedding!! WHOOP!! (The Aggies won too!!)

Woo Hoo! Congrats you two!
Just like a Thurmond-girl to try to ruin her engagement (by not wanting to wake up early.) Rene' was going to propose on an Aggie game day (back in '93), but I invited a friend to join us not knowing he was going to propose. Anyway, it all worked out! Congratulations.
BTW, Mark, the boys want to know what they should call you now - Uncle Mark (David said yes to this out of respect for one of the family now) or Mark (Jack wants to keep it simple because according to him he has TOO many uncles. That was news to me!)
Congratulations you guys !!!
So, was the rose pedals planted by Mark or were they left from the night before??
Congrats...Looks like you had a great day. Your Dad was sharing pictures this past weekend!!
