Over the weekend, I popped the big question. That's why I have been absent the past few days. Of course, by the title of this blog, she said yes.

Late Saturday evening, Kati and I decided to head out to eat at a wonderful Chinese sit-down restaurant; all you can eat buffet, Bamboo Garden. As the waitress was sitting us at our dining table, this older couple next to us pointed his finger demandingly at me - wanting me to abide over at his booth. At first I was baffled because I thought he was pointing his finger toward the waitress in order to get her attention; attempting to wave her by. Instead, he said to me, "Yes, I'm pointing to you. I need to speak to you for a second."

Afterwards, he asked the most intriguing question that would confuse any young newlywed. "Do you and your wife have any plans tonight?" I was bewildered at first for two reasons. One: He was an older gentleman with his wife. Secondly: He had a mustache. Rationally, my first instinct was to assume, "These people must be swingers!" Nonetheless, I said seductively, "No, but if you have anything in mind, please let me know - me and my wife are down for any activity you have in mind," and winked at him without hesitation.

I'm only yanking your chain - I did not say that. However, I did say no. As we continued to converse, his wife interrupted and told me that they both recently won a few tickets to attend the local races for free, and they were unable to partake in this adventure. Therefore, they asked me if I'd like to take my wife. I said "Sure, why not." I had never been to the races before, so they handed me tickets without remorse.

We ended up not going because we had Karli during the meantime, but it was an interesting blessing regardless. It's kind of perplexing, but people seem to react generously toward me and Kati [and Karli]. Randomly, people will consistently tell us that we're a cute couple - or we act as if we're already married. Frankly, people treat us with more dignity and respect because we're a young yet mature countenance who love each other promisingly.

Soon after, we decided to take Karli to have some fun at the park; to wear herself out so she could go to bed early. That was a failure, but we all had a great time. The ice-cream truck-driver drove by, pulled up to the park and yelled, "Free popsicles!" It would have been irrational to decline such a juicy delight; of course we delved into this providence.

Evidently, I look fabulous in pink [I did not mean for that sentence to sound like a gay man's voice.] Kati, therefore, will be buying me a pink polo t-shirt, because I flat out refused to spend my own money on a pink t-shirt; I just won't bargain for it.

Overall, it was a wonderful weekend. I was showered with great blessings that have most definitely benefited my life. By the way, I am only joking about the marriage proposal. We aren't getting married ... yet. One day it will happen, though. I hope I didn't get anyone's hopes up. If so, oh well - it was humorous.
