Help
I'm a 24 yr old veterinary student and my now-fiance Joe is a full time student and has a full time sales job. As you can imagine, we don't see each other much. We met in undergrad at West Virginia University (Go Mountaineers!) and have been together almost 5 years. I grew up in Pittsburgh PA, so we travel back there as often as possible. I had been suspecting something for the past couple of months. I knew that he and my mother had been shopping at my family jewler's back home, but I doubted that he actually HAD the ring. How wrong I was It was under my nose for 6 weeks in our apartment! This past weekend, we went to Pittsburgh to see my family and to have lunch downtown with Joe's best friend from childhood. My gears were really grinding when he told me that we were going to the Georgetown Inn on top of Mt Washington. It's one of my favorite places, and is right next to a great scenic overlook that has a spectacular view of the city. Pittsburgh is right next to a big mountain (for PA standards) - Mt Washington. To get over the mountain into downtown, you can take what are called inclines. They're box-shaped cars that go up and down a track, pulled by a large cable. There are two, both with spectacular views at the top. Joe didn't believe me when I said that we wanted to go up the Duquesne incline, and we went up the Monongahela instead. When we got to the top and he realized that we weren't near the restaraunt, he panicked. I actually felt guilty because I was pretty sure I knew what was coming, and he was SO worried/nervous/upset. The two inclines are a mile apart, so we began our scenic hike across the top of Mt. Washington to the <i>other</i> incline. When we arrived, as we posed for some pictures with Heinz Field in the background, who should appear but my <i>entire family....</i> Mom, sister, Dad, Step-mom, Step-brother, Joe's Mom, Dad, sister and her boyfriend, and both grandmothers. Of course, they arrived just in time to take some well thought-out pictures:

Then we all had an awesome lunch with our family, as expected
