February 13, 2025 .... an early Valentines Day celebration! From now on, we will always celebrate Valentines Day a day early! With the help of our fabulous waiter at El Gaucho restaurant in Tacoma, Bill was able to enlist the support of people sitting near their table to take cell phone video and applaud when Bill, after "taking a knee", presented a book (The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman) with a carved out compartment inside displaying Lori's engagement ring. Simultaneously, the piano player played "You Light Up My Life" by Debbie Boone, which will also be the First Dance song at the reception. :-)
