Random thought (may have published this already)


Random Thoughts:

So this weekend I went white Water Rafting. May I say it was so fun and relaxing, it helped me get my
mind focused for the next week. While we were rolling down the river, I noticed a beautiful waterfall off
to the side. I said to the group that would be a nice place to propose to someone at. I mean the media
makes it seem like proposals are what every little girl dreams about from birth. I am sorry to say, my
dream from birth was to be a researcher and have my own place. As I get older, I can see why it would
be nice to have a man or my significant other take the time and propose somewhere nice and make
it heartfelt. I digress, two of the men I was with loudly said that was too much. I asked why and their
response was sub-par with statements such as “She better be happy that I brought a ring” or “What if it
was Detroit under the Robocop statue?” My first thought was and you wonder why you are single. My
next thought is why not make a nice gesture of asking for a “Lifetime commitment”. I feel men seem
to hate all idea of weddings, engagements, and marriage but love the idea of companionship. I cannot
speak for most women but the idea of committing to one person for life is a big deal, it’s like buying a
house, having a kid, donating a kidney. I think if you decide that the person you are with is someone you
want to spend 5 years-infinite with than why not a nice proposal. I am NOT SAYING spend hundreds, or
thousands of dollars. I am saying a little thought and effort. Here are a few ideas:

Scenerio #1: Propose to her on top of hill. My two good friends went to a local hill in Baltimore. They sat
on the benches overlooking parts of the harbor and did an outdoor bible study. She remembers that he
kept reading scriptures about love, marriage and finding the right woman. He proposed to her on the
hill, which is also the hill that they meet.

Now was that expensive? No. Was it meaningful? Yes.

Scenerio #2: Another friend husband slipped the engagement ring on her finger while she slept.

Was it Creepy? Yes but He knew that he wanted to be with her.

I don’t have too many other incidents like that but I think a simple proposal that is heartfelt and genuine
is super awesome versus the traditional restaurant and dinner. Everyone does that put a little effort into
it that all I think. Maybe I ask for too much. I rather ask for the Universe and get the world than ask for
little and get nothing.
