Ok well only a few of you knew i was purposing to my GF in chicago and it went perfect! She said yes! The whole trip was a lie to her. The story was my parents were suppose to go to chicago with my mons old friend. Well her friend cancelled and my mom doesnt fly and "the plane tickets were already paid for" (i paid for them alexa thought my moms friend did). So we go to chicago and wed night they had fireworks at the navy pier. So we went to a nice diner at RIVA. Then went for a walk on the pier wait for the fireworks to start. We ran into a lady who was a photographer and i asked her if she can take pix of us. She said yes so we are taking pix and the photographer says. Stand behind alexa and put ur arms around her.. (This was my cue the photographer was hired by me and that was our cue to get the ring ready). I stand behind and photographer says what is that in your hands... Well alexa thought she was talking to her and tells her nothing im just crossong my hands.. At this time im on my knew waiting for her to turn around and she isnt. So i start tapping her back and she sees me on my knee and says yes!! Lol it was halrious! There were people right by us watching and the photographer told them what was gonna happen before i found her. So then we took so engament photos for a lil while and it was a awsome! The rest of our trip was amazing too! We went on a segway tour which was a blast!!

And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey"
