What an amzing trip and experience that could not have ended any better. I had the ring on me the entire time. It was extremly difficult to keep the proposal a secret. I told no one. I had to change the spots I kept the ring on the trip. From the suit case to the safe to a drawer. So hard when Bri was going through everything the entire trip. I worried about losing it or getting it stolen by leaving it in the room. Arriving at the stadium I honestly was more nervous for the Cowboys to win than actually proposing. I dont think it really hit me yet that this proposal would change my life forever. When going through the metal detectors prior to going inside the stadium they ask you to remove everything from your pockets. I grabbed the ring box from my front right shorts pocket tried to cup it in my hand while my wallet phone etc was in my other hand. I was afraid Brianna would see me grab it and lift it above my head or a security guard would say whats in your hand. At that moment I was thinking if this secutity guard ruins the suprise im gonna have to act right now and propose outside the stadium. We ended up just going right through with no problems. I was thinking the entire game when to propose. At one point I was thinking to not even do it cause the Cowboys were losing the entire game and did not want to propose as a loser lol but said hell with it even if the cowboys lose I'll still have the best memory of my life. There was like 2 min left in the game the cowboys scored and we made it on National Television. I started receiving texts from freinds etc. The cowboys then held the Giants to a 3 and out and were getting the ball back with 1 minute left. I felt at that moment the momentum shift into our favor and thought if I propose they could come back and win this game. I handed my phone to the guy next to me I said can you please video tape this im about to propose to my girl. He looks at me and says really??? Right Now??? I said ya!!! I told Brianna to stand up she thought we were taking a picture and I got down on one knee..... Her face was priceless and honestly I think everything happened so fast and in the moment that I drew a blank as in remembering exactly what I said. .It went something like since I was a little kid my heart lies here with the Cowboys and now I want to share my heart and my true passion with you...etc.....lol can't really remember it all happened so fast lol....still can't believe we made national TV and the proposal came right before the game winning drive.....talk about fate lol.... the crowd erupted everyone was saying congrats, the cheerleaders and even players looked up and said congrats... truly a moment I will forever cherish and never forget..
