Tardy Tuesday

Okay, so my "Gives Me Hope" Monday is a day late; hence the title of this post. but I think you're in for a little treat. Women love "engagement stories"--or "how he proposed". After the initial squeal of excitement upon hearing the news, a woman's next question is unfailingly, "How did he do it?" Well, the little video below is a fun one. The young lady in this video was led to believe she was part of a time-out activity at a Chicago bulls game. If you want a little more of the story, there is a caption shown off to the side.

Fun, right? I got all misty-eyed and giddy while watching it. In front of 22,000 people this guy is willing to be on bended knee, asking his true love to be his partner in life. That's exciting! And important. But what is special--beyond her saying "yes!" of course--is that you hear the crowd go crazy, cheering them on. I doubt all 22,000 people are personal friends of this sweet couple, yet they cheered and laughed and got a little choked up for this couple they don't even know. Why? My guess is that it gives them a feeling of hope and anticipation of the endless possibilities in their future. Here's to Emerson and Gabby! Congratulations!
