So I keep promising to post the details of Russ proposing....and keep putting it off because it's a long story. I've finally decided to just start telling it, and, if it takes too long, then to post it in parts as I have time to type.
It all started when we discussed what we were going to do for my birthday. Russ informed me that he was taking me for a day in New York City. Now, this is rather unusual for Russ who usually asks me what I want to do or at least says, "I WANT to do such and such" not "We're doing this."
A bit taken aback, I said, "Or we could go to NJRK on my birthday." "No," he replied, I'm taking you to New York City. "Um....I don't get to decide what I want to do on MY birthday?" I asked. "Nope," he replied. I want you all to myself."
Well, who could resist that kind of persuasion? :-)
As my birthday approached, it became apparent that Russ wanted to spend the day showing me Central Park and then to have my birthday dinner at a mystery location. It sounded great...until, with the day almost here, record high temperatures were predicted......
