The moment I realized I needed to ask my GF to marry me...
Was just this weekend.

She got in last friday or saturday from Michigan and we spent the weekend together, we did what couples do that have been apart for some time I guess, but it wasnt until Sunday, during the Minnesota Orchestra's performance of Handel's Messiah, with her snuggled up to me, and my arm around her that I realized just how badly I want this to go on forever.

That night, after the performance as we sat in front of my fireplace, snuggled up and drinking hot cocoa, just being together felt so right.

I am so lucky.

Forgive me my sappyness, I cant tell her yet and I need an outlet!!!! So bear with me for a few more days. lol.

19. I'll tell you something...
A couple of years ago, my now Brother in law proposed to my sister on Christmas Day. Of course, all of us in the family knew that he was going to do that, but were sworn to silence. Believe me, in the weeks leading up to Christmas, I had difficulty keeping a straight face in front of my sister, I even ALMOST bought a Christmas present for her that would have "given away" the surprise, so I had to change it at the last minute.

Right now they are almost coming up on their year anniversary, they are going to New York to celebrate.

not all of us can have a cool motorized scooter!

Just make sure you get a DU sticker on it somewhere, that will make it really cool.
