(AP) – A Joplin woman has said "Yes" after her boyfriend proposed
marriage in the newspaper.
The Joplin Globe reports that the Christmas Day edition of the paper was
sitting in the center of the coffee table when 27-year-old Racritia Hobson
awoke. But she was busy with preparations and didn't look at the paper until her
boyfriend, 29-year-old Philip Myers, flipped it open to page 5C.
That's when she saw the photos of herself and of their 10 years together. By
the time she got to the line, "FINALLY, Will You Marry Me?" Myers had dropped to
one knee, pulled the ring out of his pajama pocket and looked up at her.
After a moment or two of shock and lots of tears, she said, "Yes."
