i remember vividly one day after I knew he had already bought the ring that it was in the house. Despite him telling me he wouldnt confirm nor deny it I knew it was bought at least. So me being the snoop I am i wanted to go look for it. Probably wouldn't have actually looked at it, I just really wanted to see if I COULD find it or of it was in the house at all.
I checked the cabniets the closets above the stove didnt check very well in the cabinet above the fridge. i couldn't see I was too short, even on a chair. I looked in the pantry, the bedroom, the bathroom. And finally I guess at some point I'd come close to finding it so he tried to re hide the ring.
He had me leave the room so he could re hide the ring, after a short amount of time he tells me it's okay to come back in there in the livingroom/kitchen. I hadnt made it fully out of the hallway before I said "honey I can see the box on top of the fridge" he again has me go back to the middle bedroom assuming he was going to re hide it, and poor thing comes in and says "well since you already know about it," gets on one knee and proposed to me in the middle bedroom of our trailer! Excited but also felt bad I ruined whatever surprise he had in store for me.
Needless to also say that the ring was hidden in the cabniet above the fridge i would have never found. Also i'm not great at looking so that worked for him in his favor too.
