The truth and nothing but...

Well, this is long overdue as noted by the fact that the last entry was one year ago. A lot has happened since then. To recap.... last friday, July 25 th, was a most memorable occassion. Jamie took michelle on a picnic to the North Point Park (bless that beautiful park). It was a beautiful summer day full of sunshine. Jamie strategically timed this outing to occur just before sunset, as he knew that this was michelles favorite time of day. They found a spot on some grass over looking the mouth of the Charles River in Boston. Of course it was perfect for some frisbee throwing. Jamie practiced his special modes of catching, i.e. behind the back, under the leg, and on one finger. It was a beautiful thing to behold. After a brief interlude of frisbee throwing jamie and michelle sat down to feast on a meal prepared by jamie, which consisted of chicken salad over chips and cut up fruit. Michelle loved it! In fact jamie will be required to prepare this meal later on at special occasions. Once the meal concluded jamie and michelle commenced with more frisbee tossing as they moved to an adjacent hill (aka a city on a hill cannot be hid) with the Boston Skyline encircling them. Walking around and conversing jamie strove to keep them within the departing sunlight, to no avail. After relocating three times jamie asked michelle if she remembered the first movie they watched together. As it was over a year ago michelle had to stop and think, but after only a moments hesitation michelle responded with a confirming 'yes' (michelle remembered it to be The Count of Monte Cristo). Jamie then asked if he could tell her his favorite part. Michelle said sure while thinking what does that got to do with the price of eggs. The next thing she realizes is that jamie is reaching inside his pocket and pulling out a piece of fabric (which happens to be from a homemade, Lynne DeMartini bar of soap) and tying it around her finger (THE ring finger). Knowing the significance of this move as demonstrated in this specific movie, michelle laughed, cried, and asked if he was serious. Jamie nodded his head in confirmation. As they walked back to their stuff michelle asked jamie 'Are you going to get on a knee?'. Jamie haltingly said 'Not yet'. Confused but still dazed michelle and jamie walk on. As they reached their stuff jamie asked if he could explain somethings that had been going on lately and seemed to be starting to sit down on the blanket. Before michelle knew what was happening jamie had pulled a ring box from his backpack and was on bended knee. Jamie grabbed michelles hand and then asked with all of Boston watching (at least those on the duck tours) 'Will you marry me?'. With tears in her eyes michelle said 'YES!!' And thus we see the beginning of eternity, and a slightly more consistent blog.
