On December 23, 1997, after knowing each other a little less than 4 months, Mark took me to a nice dinner in downtown Bethlehem, all lit up for Christmas, and proposed. I can still picture him standing in front of me on the bridge downtown, smiling ear to ear and blushing as he reached into his inside coat pocket and took out the most beautiful piece of jewelry I have ever seen in my life. I was totally in love then. And, I’m totally in love today.

    Ah..Kelly–how SWEET! I can almost picture you two in that moment from this brief little description. Here’s to many, many more beautiful moments of life together! You both look so young and “in love”. :)

    I remember that night too! We were there then you got back to his moms house.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
