A while back Josh planned a birthday surprise for Savannah~
He was taking her to see the Phantom of the Opera @ the Fox
and asked Scott, the girls, and I if we would like to go.
As things began to unfold,
Josh decided this would be THE night he would propose
and thus all the planning and worrying began for him.
One of the things Savannah had always told him was
she wanted to be able to see us right away after they were engaged.
Because it would be so late when the show was over,
Josh decided we would all spend the night at the
Georgian Terrace Hotel right across the street from the Fox.
We all arrived at the hotel around 3:30
and dressed for dinner @ the Livingston right in the hotel @ 5.
The Phantom was @ 8 so we all walked across the street right into the Fox.
The Phantom has a story in its self...
Josh had played the Phantom at one time and
Savannah had told many years ago when she had a crush on him
that they would someday go on a date to see the Phantom.
It was to come true on this night like none other she had dreamed about.
We all loved it, including EK who said,
"I love this show and I am SO brave!"
Afterwards back at the hotel,
Josh asked Savannah if they could get away so he could read a letter to her...
the letter he had read to us on Feb. 11.
She didn't have a clue what was happening.
She said he was just being so sweet because of her birthday.
We went up to our room to wait
and let the other girls know what was going on.
They went to the roof of the hotel overlooking the Atlanta skyline
and he began the letter.
A very loud group of people came up as well
and sort of spoiled the moment
but that didn't phase Josh because he had reserved the second floor of the
restaurant with a table overlooking the Fox.
They sat down at the table and Josh finished the letter,
stood up to take the ring out
and Savannah asked him what he was doing... :)
He showed her the box and she STILL didn't have a clue.
He got down on one knee, pulled out the ring,
He was taking her to see the Phantom of the Opera @ the Fox
and asked Scott, the girls, and I if we would like to go.

He showed her the box and she STILL didn't have a clue.
He got down on one knee, pulled out the ring,
placed it on her finger, and asked her to marry him.
They both had tears and she just reached out to hug him.
He told her she had to say yes or no.
She said YES!
What a sweet moment...
then she asked if we knew and he assured her Everyone knew except her. :)
To say it was a moment when they came to our door is an
UNDERSTATEMENT!
Or whole family had a moment!
A sweet loving moment...
A moment when we saw our daughter happy beyond words
and a moment when we finally had another son to love forever.
We enjoyed a toast of sparkling grape juice
and some yummy cupcakes made by a sweet lady in Josh's office
then headed downstairs for more pics...
in front of the Fox
and at the table where the Proposal happened.
Oh and the Ring is gorgeous...
Josh did VERY well. :)
