I don't post as often as I would like, but I have to share my good news...
On Friday, at 2:30 PM, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of the Thomas Green Clemson statue and Tillman Hall. When she said yes, I had previously arranged for a friend of mine to set off the Clemson University Victory Peal. Anyone on campus at that time would have had no trouble hearing the bells, and it was a wonderful way to honor the moment. My younger brother, who is a freshman here, was also on hand to take some pictures of the moment.
I met her during my freshman year here at Clemson and we started dating just before our sophomore year. My dad also married a girl he met at Clemson, and while growing up, I always hoped I would be so lucky to fall in love with a Clemson girl. I have, and now I get to spend the rest of my life with her and share the many memories we have of Clemson together.
To top off the weekend, I turned 22 yesterday. I only have one more week of classes, then a week of exams, a week at the beach, then graduation. Then, it's three weeks in Europe before returning home to start my new job in Atlanta while the fiancee is in grad school there as well.
I am truly a blessed and lucky individual. I have much to be thankful for, including my new fiancee and the University that we will both soon call our Alma Mater.
Thanks for letting me share my excitement!
Go Tigers!

i did the same thing, except i proposed to my clemson girlfriend over last summer. dinner at calhoun corners, engagement planned by tillman statue at 8pm on the saturday night, only hault was clemson freshman moved in that morning. entire bowman field was covered with a welcome to college party with live band. loud music and 18 year old kids running around on their first night away from mom and popps made me improvize. i ended up doing it sitting on the side of the old tillman bell monument looking over the reflection pond. actually worked out perfect. then i rented out Resturant O in downtown greenville for a big suprise party with all of out family and friends from out of town.

Lots of advantages to marrying a Clemson girl. After close to 40 years, I've got to say that our shared experiences through Clemson and beyond have been priceless. We have lived many places, but whenever the Tigers play, there is never a question about whether we will watch. And to think I dated a gamecock for a while! She was sweet and pretty and all of that, but when I think of how it could have turned out, deah Lawd, thanks for watching out for me! Congratulations and hopes for many years of common ground.

I met your brother right before you proposed

I was in the Carillon Gardens setting something up for Redfern and he was standing there waiting on you. He told me everything and I was standing there watching. I loved how he stopped the Tour Group that was heading towards Tillman and then they all started cheering.
Whatever you read to her before proposing took forever though lol. We were standing like there "Good Lord, he is reading The Grapes of Wrath." lol
Congratulations man.
