Happy February,

I know many of you are at the end of your rope with Winter. I normally am too but I had a big surprise last week that has me ignoring the wind whipping at my face. I got engaged!

Despite being with Carlos for almost five years, I'm still in shock. It was a wonderful surprise.  He called me after my class last Saturday night and told me he was locked out on the roof deck. This made sense to me because Carlos frequently goes to read in random places around the city. I returned from class, went to "retrieve" him from the deck and there he was with music, candles, roses, champagne, dinner, a gluten-free cupcake and a beautiful amethyst ring. He even had a heater up there. He really thought of everything. It was a magical night.
