We had talked about getting engaged but decided to wait until the summer when I was home from school. However, Frank had other plans in mind. He decided to set up an Easter Egg Hunt for me on Easter Sunday, April 4, 1999. He worked for weeks planning clues for me to follow. That morning I followed his clues until they led me to an Easter basket filled with candy and stuffed animals. I thought I was finished but there was one last clue in the basket. It said to find the last egg and give it to my guide, Frank, to open. I followed the clue to a huge golden egg and gave it to Frank. As he opened it he got down on one knee. Inside was the ring and he asked me to marry him. I was completely shocked and very happy. I just looked at him and said, "Of Course!"
