You guessed it, I was delayed
For those of you who aren't in the know, today is my 3 year anniversary with my BooBoo. To celebrate, he whisked me away to a Manor house in Quebec. Of course, every zonino! has an equal and opposite oninoz!, and our flight up to Canada was delayed 3.5 hours.
A few positive things came about by this experience. Firstly, I got to witness a family welcoming home a soldier. You know that opening dialog in "Love, Actually" where they talk about how Heathrow Airport shows that love is actually all around (see this movie if you haven't already, it's really wonderful), seeing a family welcoming home their loved one is enough to invoke tears, even from this cynic. Also, I applaud the individual at EWR who allowed a family to the gate in order to welcome said soldier. I'm glad there's some folks still around with some common sense.
Anyhoo, The place was beautiful, and we had a wonderful time (No Robyn, we're NOT engaged). Tonight, because it's anniversary proper, I'm taking him on a glass bottomed boat around the Hudson. If we're delayed 3 hours, I'll just swim it myself and pull him along with me.
If for some reason it hasn't occured to you to get a BooBoo who whisks you away to castles because he knows you're a freak who has an obsession with swords, I highly recommend getting one (a booboo, not a sword obsession). But not mine, you can't have mine!

hahaha! Pay up suckers! who lost the pool on her getting hitched! For the winners, remember to give me a cut.
Also, i think its important for girl booboo to note, she came back on time.

Aww I want a romantic booboo. My Boo's idea of romance is "Do you want chinese or mexican tonight?"

How could you have possibly known I've been sitting here refreshing your site waiting to see if he popped the question??? Uncle BooBoo- what the heck are you waiting for? She loves you, we love you, what else do you need?? (Oh my, I'm in for it now ;)
So glad you had an amazing time AND got to welcome home a soldier in the process. It sounds like a magical weekend.

Aah, Scott, glad to see the honeymoon's not over ;)
And L- you didn't mention anything about rain, so really, how bad could the delay have been?

Robyn: You can just bite me ;-) And since you never write/chat/call...keep your snarky comments to yourself </kvetch> </guilt>

Ah, a beautiful castle, and a sweetie boo boo, quite a weekend. Glad you made it home safely, and there eventually.
Meanwhile, I'd be hard pressed to decide which image I like more; the one of all the "L lying around the world" montage or the image of you pulling the glass bottom boat with your teeth while immersed in the Hudson.

BooBoo- well, not being able to talk about the "D" word is MUCH better than being too freaked out about the "M" word! :)
Scottie- It's a good thing you're too far away to bite ;P (She says fully deserving the kvetching and guilt.) (And thinking that you must have gotten all of the guilt genes ;)
Psst- Ly- it's D's birthday today... hee.
