The Story of Adam and Anna
Before He met Anna, Adam was doing all right
He was independant
Always hangin with the boys
And life was good
But then he realized that he was sad and alone
He Felt trapped, and was scared
He needed someone to take care of him
He tried to find love, but had no luck
Who grew up to be a stunning young lady
She was also enjoying life, hanging out with her friends
But Anna also felt alone
Meanwhile, Adam was living in Brooklyn, unable to find a girl
And the few girls he did find were, um, not so great . . .
Then one day, Adam saw Anna
He was totally AMAZED
He way stunned by her beauty
He was mesmerized by her
He fell in love immediately
Anna was not so sure
She didnt think they were a good fit. for instance, Adam loves Sand Castles. Anna . . .
Adam never seemed to be able to win ANY arguments, even in spanish
But Adam did make her laugh . . .
Suddenly, Anna realized that she loved Adam too. This was Shocking to her
They decided to get together
Soon, they were like 2 peas in a pod
A match made in heaven
They even got a Kitten
But then the kitten grew up and got attitude
Soon, they decided to get married
and have babies
lots of 'em
Also maybe some bunnies, cuz they are damn cute
And live Happily ever after. the end

Engagement story!
So: first I designed a ring with Anna's uncle who is a jewler. This took 6 months. It was really, really hard to do, but came out pretty awesome if I do say so myself.
Then, when the ring arrived, I took anna on a ‘date’ after work. She had never seen the cherry blossom festival, so we went. all these Cherry trees were blooming on the water. i suprised her with a picnic. we had wine, cheese, jazz, a blanket on the water. Sunset over the potomac, Weeping Willows swaying in the wind, cherry blossom pedals blowing everywhere. like some Akira Kurosawa samurai love montage. it was TOO perfect a proposal site. There was even a young attractive couple picnicing nearby with babies and puppies, like a future version of us, and another couple taking wedding photos. It was juuust a bit too . . . obvious. So i didnt propose there, i knew she was sorta thinking about it. i gotta suprise her, ya know? anyway after that we went to a romantic dinner. and i didnt propose there either.
then on the walk home i handed her a flashlight and told her to read what was written in the sidewalk cement a block from our house. I had secretly written in it weeks earlier while it was wet. I'd been watching the construction on the sidewalk for weeks waiting for my opportunity to write on the cement. You see, me and Anna sort of have a tradition that whenever we see wet cement we write "Adam N Anna forever" or something similar. It all started one day in Brooklyn, when we found wet cement walking home. I started carving "Adam and Anna," and then I paused. Anna said "you gonna write "Adam and Anna forever"? I mean, thats a long time. A big commitment. You sure your ready for that?" We had only been dating for like a month so it was kind of a big deal. So I wrote: "Adam and Anna for a While." I would have written "for the forseeable future" but it wouldn't fit.
Anyway, back to the story. I hand Anna the flashlight, and tell her to read whats written in the sidewalk. In big letters it says:
"Anna will you marry me?"
And after she read it I was on one knee with the ring and she was pretty much crying hysterically.
She said yes.
The end.
