Even more Portuguese on this page. You can go to babelfish and translate it if you want to, but it's not really necessary.

If you were trying to figure out what my last post was about, here is the explanation:
I sketched out designs to make my girlfriend an engagment ring. I first researched custom Jewelers in this area then brought sketeches to one and worked with this guy as he made my sketches into wax.

I wanted to come up with a special proposal though, so planned a sort of scavenger hunt for Christmas eve with clues all around the house. She would find one clue which led her to another clue and so on. One of the clues led her to cy-boar.com. When she logged on, she saw a map of our house and writing in Portuguese. When she figured it out, she went to the locations with 3 Xs, which led her to more clues. These eventually led her to a toy dinosaur that had a key in it's mouth. The key opened a chest that had a little box with the ring in it.

So we're officially engaged now and it worked out great! Thanks for all the support and kid words from my various online pals.

Coincidentally, she also planned a scavenger hunt for me to find my big present. (A new computer!) How crazy is that?! I've never tried a scavenger hunt before?!
