"Good come on my uncle Dan is here." I say. I run downstairs an out the door an into my uncle Dan's arms. "I have missed you uncle Dan." I say. "I have missed you too my little Rose." Uncle Dan says. I laugh at the name he calls me an go an greet the other guest an go over to Beau. "Hey handsome." I say. "Hey beautiful I Ha e something for you." Beau says. "Ok an that is?" I ask. He turns away from the grill an pulls out a ring with smiley faces on them. "Awe I love it thank you Beau." I say. I stand on my tip toes an kiss his cheek then hug him. "Hello everybody can I have your eyes up here please." My dad says. We all turn to the makeshift stage to see my dad, mom, an Angie standing up there. "Now we have a few words to say to the birthday girl so Beau bring her up here to the chair." My dad says. Beau grabs my hand an pulls me up to the chair that is sitting close to the stage an I sit down an watch Beau walk up to the stage after words.
