ladypirate, bia, and taovandel- I have no idea how y''all knew, but it happened. I really had no clue and could have sworn it wouldn''t have happened; but at this point, I wouldn''t have had it any other way!! Thanks gals!!

Fiery- The longer I''m on here, the more I think we have in common!! LOL!! Now we share an engagement weekend as well!! Thanks for thinking about me!!

Freke- Glad we could make you smile!! I think I still have a perma-smile on my face. C says I''m alot more chill as well. It''s pretty nice not having this linger over my head anymore

deelight and honey22- The proposal was perfect for us. Big public place, but it was like we had it all to ourselves. Such a neat feeling!! I wish I had gotten a picture of the peanut gallery, but I really wasn''t having the clearest of thoughts at that point!! Thanks girls!!

[meresal]

LDubs, KCCutie, CrookedRock, Patiently_Waiting, and pocahontas- Thank you for your excitement. It means so much to us!!

(Yes, I said "us". C was like, "Wow, these girls are really nice to say such sweet things. How cool is that.") LOL, I knew he''d come around!!

Gwen- You''re awesome!! Thank you!! C is a big fan of that picgture too. Honestly, as I was looking through them, I couldn''t believe how big he was smiling the whole weekend. He never smiles in pictures. I was so oblivious

Jcarlylew- You were spot on... I''m glad a few of you had an idea, becuase I had no cue at all. Thanks for checking in on me, again!!

cbs102- The game was am amazing and I''m posting a picture of our seats for you and any other Yankee fans. I was struggling to keep the drooling to a minimum!! We did some awesome stuff while we were there!!

 

[bee*]

Congratulations!! Your ring is beautiful and I love your pics!

 

[meresal]

Top of the rock.... LOVED IT!!! It was C''s sister''s first time there as well. We got some great pictures.

 

[sunnyd]

Congrats meresal!!! What an awesome amendment to the already great trip!!!

 

[meresal]

And this was one of my favorites. After we took this picture C asked if there was anywhere in the city is had wished I had seen, but he did it in this kind of nostalgic way... so I looked at him and said, "C, they're getting rid of the stadium, not the entire city. We'll be back!!" He looked at me and just started laughing, and said "You're right". There were SOOO many signs that he wanted to propose, what was I thinking?!?! LOL!!!


ETA: This pic was taken before dinner. C said that as soon as he saw the baby stroller in the picture after taking it, he knew he was going to propose that night.

 

[fieryred33143]

He''s such a sweetie. I''m so happy for you. Are you guys doing an engagement party?

 

[sunnyd]

LOL, now that is a glowing sign if I''ve ever seen one. Look at those reflectors!!!

 

[jcarlylew]

Congrats meresal. I''m sooo excited for you! You had a wonderful proposal and it looks like you had a wonderful time in NY.

NYC is such a wonderful place and us who live here sometimes take it for granted...not good!
