And I am sick. Nothing new. For some reason I always get sick on or around my birthday. I had the flu one year, tonsillitis one year, meningitis one year, strep throat one year. This year I have some nasty cough, and I am going into surgery in a week in a half. (The surgery is a good thing.)
But my birthday has not always been bad. 14 years ago on this day I proposed to Lori. She threw me a surprise birthday party, (that I knew about) and I surprised her and asked her to marry me. Greatest thing I ever did:-) I was soooo nervous and just before I was going to ask her, someone in the crowd yells out, “Hey did you all hear that Greg and Rachel got engaged last night?” Everybody started saying, “Man, everyone is getting engaged, what is going on…” suddenly everyone at the party was down on engagements. Thanks mystery yeller in the crowd! But I still proposed and everything was fine. It was a great night and a great birthday.
Happy Birthday! I hope you at least enjoy your day, even if you are sick.
And I remember that night 14 years ago. It was fun!!

I remember that night very well too! Your story reminds me of an episode of The Office! So glad the shout out did not damper your engagement!
What an amazing match you two are!
