Some things we wait to receive or find for what seems like an eternity. Then when it IS received or found, we're just not certain how to respond.... This was the case.

Joebids and I have been together now for almost two years - geocaching was his passion long before he met me, but between the two of us we have really hit the trails. In just over a year of caching I am now close to 800 caches found - just a little bragging here!

The BEST cache I was on the hunt for came this past Saturday. I've been in the midst of trying to get my house ready for sale and work has been hectic. Joebids came over late Saturday afternoon after I had worked and gave me my birthday card - a few days late - but it was sweet. He then handed me my GPS and said I had to find my present. He was sorry that it wasn't much, but knew I was trying to purge and de-clutter, but wanted to get me something. The hunt was on!! Unfortunately the GPS gods were against me and I wasn't going where I was suppose to be headed. After some tweeking by Joebids, I headed in the RIGHT direction.

There in the chapel birdfeeder (oops, forgot to fill it!) tucked in a corner was an engagement ring. I saw it sparkling in the sunlight, but didn't know what to say or how to react. I picked it up and just stared at it! Poor Joebids had to ask me if I would marry him - of course I said YES - but my reaction just wasn't what he had anticipated. The SHOCK was so overwhelming for me. This had been something I had wanted for some time, but when it was right. I just wasn't ready for it to happen NOW. Maybe that is a good thing - the element of surprise - that's for sure!!

Congrats to DragonFlyDreams and Joebids!!!

Wonderful news!

Don't forget to show us pictures of the ring!

MY Congrats
WAY TO GO!!!!!!! DragonFlyDreams and Joebids!

Congrats to you 2.

I am so happy for the two of you....

Awesome!!!

if i remember correctly Joebids found that ring in a geocache and it was in one of those little bubble like things that you get out of a gum machine for 50 cents-kidding. congratulations

Did you tell him that he needs to work on getting better coords... ....Congratulations!!!

Will there be a wedding? Huh Maybe....

When there is one, I'd better have the coords AND the spoiler hints memorized . Because I might lose my...GPSr if I were to DNF that one.

Congratulations - congratulations - congratulations - You both should get a smiley for that milestone find. Best wishes to you both.

Congratulations!

But the real question is - What was your trade item for the ring?

Wow...Great News...Congratulations to you both

Wedding geo event? WTG!

Congratulations! I assume you'll be registering for geocoins instead of for china and silverware.

Congrats you 2.

Congrats to both of ya! Looking forward to the Geo-Event invite!
That's not the first Geo-Wedding I was expecting, tho.
Maybe there's another in the making??????

Awesome! Congrats to you both! We wish you both all the happiness in the world



T1 and Fate

Congratulations to both of you!

Congratulations you two! Another geobachelor bites the dust.

Congrats to you both, but not a huge surprise? I had been asking joebids for some time when the YES??? might occur - very tight lipped man, I'll say.

I'm like others about whether there will be a surrounding geo-event.

phat.bak, you seem to be in on a special rumor mill. about whom might you be speculating, if you are at such liberty?
