So I popped the question on Sunday. We were going to Taste of Randolph Street anyway, so I had us go down to Millennium Park before hand, because I wanted to check it out, and we hadn't been there since the winter and ice skating. So we get there, I'm pretty nervous, and I need to walk around to calm the nerves a little, build up the courage. So we check out the plant sanctuary, the nice grassy field at the pavilion, and I'm a little disappointed we couldn't find any photography displays, cause that would have killed a little more time. So we eventually make our way to the Cloud Gate, or The Bean, which is all polished up and seamless. That's my goal, the set piece. Tracy's on the phone with Lisa, and I'm walking us around, trying to find a nice quiet corner, and find one on the northwest part of the plaza. I speak a few words to Lisa, letting her know that I haven't done it yet, and am about to, which is good that Lisa didn't ask Tracy yet. So the phone goes away, and I start talking, that I love that you can see everything in the bean, it's great, and that's what I can see with her, that I can see everything, and that brings me to why I brought her there, because I love her, and then I reach into the pocket, bring out the box, dropping to one knee, opening the box, and asking her to marry me. She starts crying, I get up and start holding her, and she says, yes, of course she will, and a little more crying. So I hope that's a good enough proposal story, although most people aren't asking how it happened, they ask more about the ring. It's a little too loose on the finger, so she's getting it sized, hopefully tomorrow. So with that out of the way, quick weekend recap: Friday night went to Vessel Ideation, got the drink on, tried to get some pointers on how to propose, Saturday did 5 loads of laundry after dropping off old computer stuff at a hazardous recycling center. Showed up to Tall Leo's wedding reception late. Sunday didn't make it to tennis, sat around and watched Madagascar before heading to the park, proposing, and then Taste of Randolph Street mainly to see Toad the Wet Sprocket.
