My new Fiance races Sprint Cars at a track close to our home. August 6th was a typical Race day. Stressfull, Hot outside, dirty but a ton of fun! My friend told me to come look at some pins a lady paints to match the race cars. So I followed her to an area near the Flag stand, however people we both knew were there and stopped us to talk. As We're chatting away all of a sudden I hear my name being called over the loud speaker to please go over to the flag stand. As Im waiting to find out why they called my name I glanced over to the entrance to the track from the pits. All of a sudden I see my Fiance being pushed out onto the track in his Sprint Car. I look over at my friend with confusion asking her what is going on. Of course she didnt answer me but she had her phone out recording the events that were about to take place. Finally he came to a stop in front of the flag stand and I walked out onto the track. I looked him square in the face and said, "What are you doing? Umm... What are you doing?"
Next thing I know he's holding a microphone and telling EVERYONE at the entire track (racers and fans) that we'd been together going strong for about a year. Then I mentioned it had actually been going on 2 years. He laughed and said whatever then started fishing inside the pocket of his fire suit. I instantly started crying and the words he spoke became unclear as I realized he was proposing. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes as im about bawling like a small child. We hugged, kissed, and got tackled almost by some of our close friends. I then watched him climb back into his sprint car and roll away. Walking back to the pits after that was quite entertaining because he forgot to hand me the microphone to say yes. Many people kept stopping me to ask if I said yes and to see my beautiful canary yellow engagement ring!
