One of my favorite memories is of our 10th anniversary. We had looked forward to it for so long. We knew we were going to get to go somewhere fun and have "us" time for a whole week. We choose a cruise. It was so fun to watch Keith truly relax, and not have a chance to make a single phone call or feel any of the stress from work or projects at home. One night on the cruise Keith and I had gone to the formal dinner and then to the 50's sock hop, right after that was the "singing contest" like the American Idol, but for the ship. We got a seat right up front at a little table for two. I wasn't sure why he would want to stay there for that, but I said ok. We listened to the first singer, then Keith excused himself to go to the bathroom. Then the next singer was announced and it was Keith. He sang "All I Ever Do, I Do it for You", by Bryan Adams. During the middle part of the song he brought me a vase with 10 red roses. At the end of the song he came up to me and knealt down and proposed to me again and gave me a 3 diamond ring (past, present, future). I was blown away. I guess the crew were in on it with him and so were the kids. He had been practicing it for over 6 months. Everyone on the ship knew about it and would stop us and say what a romantic thing that was. Wives literally hit there husbands in front of us and would ask them why they never did anything like that for them. It was an amazing experience. The whole trip was such a bonding time for us and we were able to renew and recharge our love. I am so thankful for his love for me and his way of always making me feel so very special. He was truly the bestest husband and daddy ever............ Love you tons Keith
