yeesh - my hands look OLD!

Finally!!!

For those of you that have have had to listen to me moan and complain about he wait - thank you - your suffering has come to an end!!


My version of the proposal:

We had a sushi dinner - at the place where he first introduced me to sushi on our first 'lunch date'. Next, on to drinks at Mackey's - the bar we stopped by on our first outing EVER. Then, we stopped at McDonalds so he could pee. Next, we took a long walk towards the Washington Monument - where we proceeded to touch all 50 flag poles and all 4 courners of the monument. We then headed towards the Roosevelt Memorial - where he again had to stop and pee on the lawn of the National Mall....geesh, nervous?

Then we walked toward the Jefferson Memorial and around the Tidal Basin right over to the benches where we had one of our most memorable dates way back when we first started to 'date'. --we spent an afternoon drinking wine and munching on fruit and cheese just chatting away getting to know one another while gazing upon the monuments--

There he finally stopped - when my feet could take no more - and after a bit of stuttering and a few nervous kisses he asked me to spend the rest of his life with him - WOW, that sounds much more monumental than "will you marry me"

He then just handed me the little black box and told me to look first before I answered. what a goof. I handed it back and made him open it - After all this time of expecting it, I was surprisingly nervous! He opened it and slipped it on - it fit perfectly and is gorgeous!

Rob's version:

"I took her out, shoved some fish down her throat, dragged her through the park and finally pulled the trigger. Unfortunately, she said yes, and is now wearing my 52" flat-screen, plasma TV on her finger."

Isn't he just the sweetest? LOL
