This past weekend Gary proposed to me during our two day trip to Boston. We couldn't be happier. As we were sharing an ice cream cone Gary told me to make sure I don't "bite it". Then, he said, "Go ahead and finish until you get to the cone and then I want a bite". Right before I got to the cone I saw IN the ice cream a ring. :) :) :) I guess this was last minute planning on his part. We had just taken a boat ride to tour Boston and he saw the ice cream place while we were boarding. He's so sweet! :) I don't remember what happened to the ice cream after that ... I just remember him getting on his knee and asking me if I'd marry him.
When we got home and told Lucas he seemed to totally get it. He wanted to know if he could come to the wedding too. I am so happy we can all be a family now. I can't wait!!!
Here we are at 4:00 am at the airport.
Our first meal at Boston. I was starving! He ordered pigs n a blanket and I got potato skins. Not very Boston ... but, darn good!
This is us just before boarding the boat. His mind must have been perculating the idea.
Us on the boat ... it went from cold to hot from hot to cold ... Glad I got the sweatshirt while I was there.
I thought the view was beautiful. Boston is such a neat city. The history was incredible. The buildings, cemeteries, etc. Very cool.
This is us right after his proposal. As you can see it was a bit windy. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing for the rest of the day ...
These were street dancers that performed both nights we were there. This guy jumped over all these people. One kid was a volunteer from the audience. I don't think I would let Lucas volunteer for that. But, it was very cool and entertaining.
This is at the hotel during the wine reception. Each night they had an hour long wine reception. Kind of fun thing to do before dinner. But, I need to be cut off at 2 glasses! :)
Poor Gary got blisters and walked around like a hill billy until we found a CVS. It was pretty funny.
They had such neat buidlings ... I won't bore you with all the scenic photos.
This was at a Farmer's Market. They had in the cement mushrooms, pizza, berries ... It was crazy there.
Another 4 a.m. shot. Not quite as awake going home.
