I went to take the dogs to the dog park on September 14, 2014. Derrick doesn't like to go, so I was alone. When I came home the truck was gone, and a note was left on my bed with an outfit. The note read simply, meet me at Keeneland. Assuming we were just going to the sales, I got dressed and headed right over. When I got there he told me he was checking out the new track, so I met him in the tunnel. There, he took my hand and we walked out into the winners circle, talking about the new surface. He then said wow look at that jet, as a jet was taking off, and when I turned about around he was on one knee, holding open the ring box. He made a beautiful speech, and when he stood up to hug me after, the ring fell out of the box, and bounced around. We laughed, he then picked it up and put it on my finger. Hoever there was someone up in the grandstand, who stood up and clapped for us, and Derrick, being nervous about doing stuff like that infront of people, looked at me with big eyes, and said - "if i would have known he was there, I wouldn't have been able to do it!" |
