Awwww!

Someone in my building got engaged!

No, I don't know who, but I kind of want to go knocking door to door to find out.

See, I live in an older building and there's no real soundproofing. Or any sort of sound proofing at all, so when I'm in my bathroom brushing my teeth with the door open (as I was last night) and someone walks by my front door talking on their cell phone I can hear what they're saying.

I usually don't listen in to the conversations but somehow I could very clearly hear this girl's voice.

I missed the first part of her sentence but caught up with the phone call to hear her say "and we were walking down the beach and he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!" before she was out of range.

I can't quite explain why, but I'm so happy for her whoever she is and I even find myself imagining I know who it is and that would make me even happier if it is.

I think I'm just happy to see (hear) happy things going on in the world and people falling in love and living their lives together and just yay.

I'm really happy for them and I'm glad I got to overhear.

I am looking forward to feeling happy for people who get engaged :) Right now I think marriage is crap :)

What if you leave a note on _your_ door to say congratulations? Maybe she'll pass by again and take notice?

Just discovered this, feeling very single and watching sex & the city, seemed appropriate! Cute blog that I can relate to, will keep following. Ps like the idea of the note on the door, but huge potential to weird her out!

That's a cute idea Eric :) I just can't be sure she lives in the building so.... but yeah, fun idea :)

It is pretty nice to feel this way Natalie :)
