He proposed. She said YES!

Last Thursday while I was in HB, Andrew wrote a note: "Will you marry my Daddy?" and tucked it in Kaelyn's waistband. As Erika and Andrew were playing with Kaelyn, Erika noticed the note. Opened it. Looked at Andrew and then he started saying, "Will you be my buddy for life? I mean, will you marry me?" as he took the ring from his back pocket and placed it on her finger. He said that he blubbered and stammered, was nervous and took this question very seriously. He was excited to report that Erika said, "Yes!" and now he is relieved to begin that new chapter in their lives.
A small wedding will be planned shortly. I told him that I was very happy for him and that I believe he chose a good wife and mother of his child in Erika. It was GREAT to hear the excitement in his voice! He called Dick in SF to share the news. Dick told Taylor and he shouted out, "Congratulations!! Woo Hoo!!" We are all very happy for the Pirtle Family!
