He took me to a restaurant in Toledo called Rockwell's. It was a fantastic surprise...especially since he told me we were dressing up! :) We had a wonderful evening out!
That same weekend, my friend Kristi got engaged! Her now-fiance Travis had called me a couple of weeks prior to the big day to enlist my help. Kristi and I arranged a "girl's day out" to go get manicures and pedicures in Indianapolis. While we were gone, Travis was busy decorating her living room with over 80 tulips and a BUNCH of candles. Her living room was beautiful when we got back!
Kristi and me...on our way to get manicures and pedicures!

The big proposal! Travis met Kristi at the door...and even had a little sign for her to circle her answer. (I guess that way he had it in writing, LOL!)
Also, over Easter weekend, Jason and I took a former student of his, Dave, to New York City! We had an awesome time and did TONS of walking! We were able to see a couple of shows, which was fantastic! We saw Spamalot (Monty Python) Friday evening and Rent on Saturday evening. Both shows were great!!! Spamalot was hilarious!! They had spoofs from the movies and some new stuff too. We all loved it! Rent was also really good. I've never seen the stage performance of Rent, just the movie. The Broadway production was really good!!!
A picture from Central Park in NYC...
On Thursday, we went to the Metropolital Museum of Art. They had some neat stuff. Also, we saw some art students in the museum painting copies of some of the paintings. The artist above did a great job on his! I stood and watched him for several minutes. Very cool! :)
On Friday, we decided to get up early and stand outside the Today Show. It was SO cold that morning!! We were more than happy to leave and get some coffee! :)
This is me standing in the line to get in. The guys weren't thrilled and wouldn't even smile, so I'm not posting their pictures! :)
Matt Lauer and Anne Curry did a piece in front of us. They didn't spend much time outside because it was so cold, but I did get a chance to shake Matt's hand! Woohoo! :) We were also able to get on TV briefly, but no one (that I know of) taped it. Bummer!
A really neat building in Times Square!
Other fun things from that trip: We visited many of the typical touristy spots in NYC...Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Financial District, Times Square, and Central Park. We also took a tour of the NBC Studios. We weren't allowed to take pictures, but we got to see where they film The Nightly News with Brian Williams, Saturday Night Live, and Conan O'Brien. It was amazing how small the studios were! They shared some of the tricks they use to make the studios look bigger to the home audience. We also spent some time at the UN Building. We didn't take the tour, but it was still neat to be there. We definitely had good times on the trip! :)
