As most of you know, I love writing. I started keeping a journal when I was 5 or so. Then progressed to the Myspace blogs, and finally Facebook...of course. However, as much as I love putting my thoughts and feelings into words, I have never had an online blog. I was inspired by my dear friend Katherine, who traveled to Africa and blogged her entire experience. Although my life is no life in Africa, I have just begun a new chapter in my life and feel like sharing with you fine folks! :)
I'm going to take y'all back to May 18, where the change began. I packed my suitcases (yes, plural...one was completely full of shoes). -I'm kinda a shoe fanatic- and set out for my first trip to Vegas. Steve, my boyfriend, had a work conference being held in Vegas, and I decided to tag along. After a couple days of sightseeing, we dressed for a nice dinner in the Eiffel Tower. We arrived an hour early ( I know what you're thinking... I'm only early when Steve's in charge of time) and went atop the tower with Steve's friends. As I gazed out over the bright, twinkling lights and positioned my camera for the ultimate shots, Steve and friends were setting up for my ultimate surprise. I walked over with them for a "group picture," when a guitar and song break out. I'm confused, looking for an answer, while Steve is continually seeking my attention. It's not until he moves in front of me and grabs my hands that I realize what is happening. I begin to shiver, nervously smiling, as he kneels down and proposes. It was such a perfect moment. I will never forget.
