John and Melanie came over for a Christmas dinner, where we drank lots and lots of wine, at least I did! Melanie brought her fabulous home-made pierogies for Marcin and we had a great time. They left around 10:00 and Marcin asked if we could exchange an early Christmas present. I only got him one big thing, so I didnt have anything little to give him. So I told him I would give him his card, and I would take a gift! haha
My gift was perfume, Ralph Lauren Romance and he loved his card, because of course I wrote a long, sappy note in it. He quickly closed it and told me to get my coat and dress warm, he had something to show me. He gave me some line about the city having this cool Christmas thing. After some arguing on my part, because it was FREEZING, we headed out on a little adventure and ended up on the steps of the Art Museum.
You see, one night way back in the beginning of our relationship, Marcin and I went for a walk and stopped at the top of the Art Museum steps. I told him this was my favorite place in the city because of the view and then we never mentioned it again. HE REMEMBERED!!!!
It was perfect - he got down on one knee and I felt the urge to cry, but couldn't because my tearducts were frozen! There is one thing you have to realize about the art museum - it is always crowded, no matter what time of day. There are at least a million people running up the steps like Rocky or at least 2 million cars driving in front of it. But not at that moment - there was literally NO ONE around but he and I with the Christmas Lights from the Cira Center.
It was a moment I will remember forever. Here is me with a red nose from the cold.
Here is the Cira Center and my beautiful ring
