After visiting the animals, they walked over to the farm store and bought some fresh-carved deli sandwiches and some sparkling lemonade.  Kimberly and Tony sat on a nice picnic bench to enjoy their meal.

Tony suggested that they visit with the animals once more before heading out, and they saw the incredible climbing kitten again, and Kimberly spoke to the little chicks.

As they’re almost leaving, Tony asks Kimberly to sit with him at a nearby bench, and she can see that he’s nervous, and he seems upset.  He looks her in the eyes and says “I need to tell you something.”  He tells her how lucky he feels that they met so many years ago.  He tells her how the past three years have been the best years of his life.  He tells her how wonderful she is, how sweet and smart and beautiful she is.  Then he reaches into his pocket.

Kimberly was confused and concerned when Tony appeared nervous and upset. But when Tony reached for his pocket – she gasped and then went into shock! She may have stopped breathing a little bit.

He opens the box and says “Kimberly Anne Macey, will you marry me?”  Kimberly was stunned and speechless.  A few minutes later he says “Well? What’s your answer?”  She recovers herself enough to say “Of course! Yes, I’ll marry you!"

Tony and Kimberly celebrated their engagement with the friends Kimberly was house-sitting for when they returned from their trip the next day. They went to Bizen restaurant and sat next to Kevin Bacon! They also celebrated at Elephant Walk – Kimberly’s favorite restaurant in Boston.

Kimberly and Tony have enjoyed the past year as an engaged couple. They are really looking forward to their wedding – to exchanging vows and to celebrating and dancing with all of their loved ones.
