HER FATHER SAID YES!!

August 23rd-27th of 2007 I went to visit friends and family in Connecticut (CT) for a High School reunion but in reality I mostly wanted a perfect excuse to travel to CT without Laura and be able to spend some time with her father. Luckily I was able to do just that! I knew together we would visit her family over the holidays but I couldn't see any reason I'd be in New England without her until I heard about the reunion. I really wanted to bring her with me but since she only has a week vacation left this year of course we'd both prefer to go during the holidays.

Her father has given me the OK for his daughters hand in marriage. I'm so excited!!

My original plan was to fly to New York (NYC) and have my friend meet me and bring me to CT after I spent some time with her father. Due to time constraints and pricing, I decided to fly into Providence, RI (PVD) instead and ask her father a little closer to the actual proposal (Early 2008) and come up with some excuse to travel then. Plans change as we all know and on Thursday my friend asked me to go to NYC with him. It was completely random...

HELP... I can't keep a Secret!

Secrets... When you share everything with your loved one its soooo hard to keep a secret! I've had this website up for almost a month ourweddingproposal.com and I tell my girl everything, except for this site. I don't understand how people keep secrets from one another? Some people cheat, others are just a closed book. I'm a very sharing, jaw wagging individual!! Everyday after work we both tell each other how our day went and we share most of our interesting stories throughout the day...

Laura kept a secret from me back in December 07. She threw a 30th birthday surprise party for me and boy did she trick me. I fell for her story hook line and sinker. Just after I bought my car we planned to drive to Orlando to visit Sea World and visit some friends. But before we left for the road trip we went to "Laura's friends house" to pick up some free tickets to Universal Studios. As we got close to her friends house I thought I had been there before and when we arrived at the house I said to her that I know our friend Pope lives close by... I had no clue even at the door and WOW once the door opened and I saw our friends I was in shock... I still can't believe she pulled off such a great surprise! Most of my local friends where there and the party was definitely a success! Everything except for turning 30 years young....

So tell me whats the secret? Have you kept any secrets from your loved ones? I can't even sleep some nights thinking about what I'm going to change to the website. Go see my site and add to the news section. Write a story, comment or just browse. I've spent so many hours and would really appreciate some feedback. Thanks!
