So you've all heard, but here's the actual story...in Rob's words....
I surprised Jen with a trip to the Daytime Emmy Awards (she’s a big “General Hospital” fan). We got in early Thursday morning (5am PT – 5 hour flight delay, though Jen was happy because “All My Children’s” Cameron Mathison was on our flight – he co-hosted the Emmys). After some rest, we headed up the coast to Malibu to El Matador Beach. It’s a really beautiful, natural beach – lots of rock formations. I guess this was a good choice of a beach – because there was an all-day model photo shoot happening (I swear I didn’t plan it that way!).
After a couple of hours in the California sun (yes, I was wearing my 55 SPF and still am pasty white), Jen and I went for a walk to a secluded part of the beach. We sat down and I told her that before we left I had another surprise for her. I pulled out a 25th Anniversary of Luke and Laura’s Wedding “General Hospital” lunch box (You can see what it looks like here: http://abctvstore.seenon.com/detail.php?p=14019&alt_view=TRUE).
At this point I took out my video camera (we had been shooting some scenery at the beach) and started taping Jen, while I said “Open the box, there’s another surprise in there.” She loved the lunch box – and was shocked to find another box (with the “rock”) inside! Of course, while all this is going on, I’m still taping her reaction (remember, this is “me” we’re talking about). Then I shut the camera off for a private moment. (I think she would have said “no” if I kept rolling!).
Attached you will find a few pictures of us, the ring and the surroundings. By chance, a professional photographer was at the same beach at the same time shooting another couple – and she graciously took a few great pictures of us.
Jen and I are both thrilled and happy to share this special moment with you!
Love, Rob and Jen
