Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines!

Here's a Valtines Day worthy proposal. What's wrong with rest of you slackers?!? Geez.

Just For Fun

Yes, while searching for an image to a not-quite-as-interesting post I found this. I spun my computer around to Mike who said "I love it! Is that rice krispie treats and duct tape? If it's not it should be!".

Puppet proposals? Why not. I don't think the internet makes people more creative I just think it gives creative people a bigger audience. Sigh..proposal videos. Or if you don't have mad Jim Henson skills there's animation :

Fun stuff! While we're on the subject of fun, I'll be assembling my last 10ish save the dates and mailing the would lot out by early next week and publically (as in blogside) announcing our date. As a teaser though I'll share a bit of the date picking process. Weeks ago Mike and I sat with respective lap tops staring at on screen calendars discussing dates we could live with (and were in love with). In the process Mike discover 2012 is a leap year and thought 2/29 would be a good day to tie the knot. That didn't work logistically, but I was curious so I asked "do you want to get married on leap year so we only have to celebrate our anniversary every four years?" Mike answered excitedly "Yeah!" He's such a stinker.

A Very Serious Hedgehog (the proposal)

It was Christmas Day 2009. We were at the family brunch. Three month old Riley was sleeping in the Snugli on my chest. Santa gave me a present, the last of the day. Be sure to watch my sister on the couch once the ring comes out her reaction is great.

The poem said: (Outside of the box) With each year, there must come an end we share with family and with friends. It's a time of comfort, a time to be jolly, for careful thought and sometimes folly.

(Biggest Hedgehog) It's a wonderul time to make a new start. There's a chill in the air, and there's warmth in your heart. There's a story within, you can't wait to write. And it's unfolding around you, each star-filled night.

(Second Hedgehog) These people around you. They are good and kind and care about you. They all know the type of tale you tell, the breath of the flute the clang of the bell.

(Third Hedgehog) Each year, every girl and boy wishes for their favorite toy. They each send off their Christmas list, and not one wish-not one-is missed.

(Fourth Hedgehog)Once every year, the magic brings to the many children many things. This year there is a gift for you. I hope you like it,
I know...

(Last Hedgehog) I do. (and the ring was in there)
