pretty close!!! This was on Paris Daily Photo
25 mars 2008
Will you marry me?
I'm sure that once you've read this story, you'll go "Awwwwwww!" On March 6th, I received an email from a young man in the U.S., Manu. He said something like, "My girlfriend, Smitha, and I have been reading your blog every day for the past two months in preparation for a trip to Paris. What she doesn't know is that I plan on proposing to her while we are there, in front of the Eiffel Tower. Could you happen to secretly be there to take a photo of us and then we can surprise her by publishing it on your blog?" My romantic soul couldn't resist, so, we arranged for a time and place, and there I was last night (Monday) at 7:45 pm sharp on the Passerelle Debilly. By the way, we did not even talk. All this was to remain a secret until today! - so I don't even know if she said yes. I'm pretty sure she did though...who could resist a fiancé who does all this to win the heart of his wife-to-be? P.S. My camera could have done with a little more light, for sure, but it's enough to keep the memory.
p.s. She said YES!
...at my continuing education class last week (which, btw, was fabulous!). The instructor was telling us a little bit about herself and mentioned that she had graduated from Ithaca College. I popped in and noted that I'd gone to Wells, right up the lake. She said,'hey, my sister went to Wells!'. Turns out, I graduated with her step-sister! Small world!
A few things that are new to me that I really loved. Thought I'd share:13 Going on 30 - think I need to own it!Enchanted - think I need this one, too.Rumor Has It - and this one!The Converse Line at TargetFree RadioGood Charlotte I Don't Want To Be In LoveAmerica's Best Dance Crew on MTV - my 3 favorite groups (watch the entire video of each - awesome!) from my favorite episode:Kaba ModernJabbaWockeeZ Fysh 'n Chicks and BreakSk8 are in this next video, but BreakSk8, in the second half of the video is my favorite performance of the night - quite simply - AMAZING!
"No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley"If you've read any of my posts, I'm pretty sure you can guess it's from one of my favorite movies - Back to the Future. It's on. Again!
Kids are back in the Cities. I. was here from Sun. - Sat. A. drove out Wed. and went back Sat. We had fun - I had to work, so I really didn't spend too much time with them, but it was still nice to have them! They had a belated b-day party for me - they gave me 101 Dalmations, Happy Feet and Ratatouille. We watched Happy Feet Thursday night - very cute! Friday, after 12" of snow (no joking!), we watched Enchanted - hilarious! Even I., a boy, liked it! Highly recommend it if you haven't seen it! We talked a little about summer vacation ideas - A. wants to go on a cruise (which I'd been thinking about for this Spring Break, but decided against cuz of hubby's sis and all the uncertainty surrounding it) and maybe we could do that for Christmas or next spring break. I think hubby and I will be taking A. and a friend to Las Vegas, Grand Canyon and So. California. I. is being sent to Norway again - it's SOOOO good for him to get away from his mother and be on his own! He has grown so much since last year's adventure! YAY! Saturday we went to St. Cloud where A. and I went shopping at Old Navy - more very cute things for me (like I needed more clothes!) and just a shirt for A. Then we ate at Chipotle - yummmmmmmmmm! Since finding a fly in our food at our favorite Mexican restaurant last summer, we haven't had any Mexican, so Chipotle tastes really good to us now! Today is a rest day - nobody is around. I've watched America's Next Top Model Cycle 7 (Caridee wins!) most of the day and we are getting ready to go out for a walk with the dogs. It's still pretty darn cold - come on SPRING!!
The last green was too green for me, so I'll try this for awhile! I really liked my first blog look, but nearly every blog I went to had the same theme. I need something new and exciting and different (well, as exciting as a blog can be!).
...of the new color scheme? it's kinda green...hmmm...i'll have to think on it...
