WE'RE ENGAGED!!!

not a weight-loss post.......... but one that will effect my life in a WONDERFUL way ((and give me the BEST REASON IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD to continue to lose weight!!!!))

vinny and i are in new mexico this weekend - on our crusade to put our feet down in all 50 states (12 more to go after NM) and we had a hot air balloon ride schedule for this morning, LUCKY 7/7/07, at 6 am for the sunrise sail in the sky......................... well turns out vinny has reserved a private balloon - just the 2 of us and the guide. we're in the sky for 10 minutes and he says something to the effect of "how romantic is this?" and i, of course was in AWE and agreed it was SO romantic. THEN, he shares that he wrote a poem he wants to share with me. he asks me to turn and face him and he reads this poem he had in his pocket.................. i'm speechless as i listen to the SWEET SWEET romantic words he's reciting. THEN, he gets to a line that makes me go "OMG OMG OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING??????????????" he contines, and as you can tell - the end of the poem was him asking me to spend the rest of my life with him. he got down on one knee (which was NOT an easy task for a 6'6'' man to do in that little balloon basket) and asks me if i'll marry him.

IN ONE WORD, IT WAS................................ PERFECT!



UPDATE: We were engaged on 7/7/07 ---- we'll be married on 8/8/08!
