To my beloved husband, and very best friend Eric Wharton Author Icon
You are my greatest treasure and I love you. *Heart*


I am happily married and my life has been abundantly blessed with a wonderful loving family. My blog is about the tapestry of two lives that God has permanently woven together by His love and our journey through our many trials, triumphs, and the God-size miracles we have witnessed throughout our daily lives with our strong faith in Christ.

Do you feel sorry for the poor guy in London who put a $12,000.00 diamond engagement ring inside of a helium balloon and lost it? Maybe a part of me does. But for the most part I think he wasn’t using his brain, and was foolish.

Though, I have to give him credit for wanting to be original with his proposal idea for his girlfriend, and wanted to literally “pop the question” but my goodness, taking this kind of a chance with this expensive of an engagement ring. As his luck would have it a gust of wind snatched the balloon away from him and vanished into the sky over rooftops.

The guy told the reporter that he followed the sailing balloon and ring for two hours before giving up. After he told his girlfriend about the incident, she has refused to speak to him until he buys her another ring. I can’t help but think if the ring is the only thing she is interested in and not his loss, the wind may have done this guy a huge favor and let him see the real her.

I hope one day someone finds it and is honest enough to return it to this fellow.

What is the story behind your proposal?
