Everyone's been asking, so here it is!!!
Our champagne to celebrate Marcus' residency in Syracuse, NY! 
Marcus popping open the champagne(it was soooo good but it still gave me a headache the next morning)
I LOVE this picture of us - so cute!
Marcus told me he was taking me to a very nice restaurant to celebrate his new residency. Me being the naive fool, believed him and so we both got dressed up to go out and these are the pictures before we left for dinner. I got a new sexy black dress (white house black market) and an awesome new necklace for the occasion. Little did I know what he was scheming all along...
My sexy necklace and little black dress...no girl should be without em!
So, we get in the cab to go to dinner (he refused to tell me where we were going because it was a surprise) but when he gave the cab driver the cross streets I knew that it was Rockefellar Center. I thought we were going to the Sea Grill which is the restaurant right by the ice rink in Rock Center. Plus, earlier in the week, he was teasing me and giving me hints about dinner and said it started with an "S" so I thought surely it's the Sea Grill.
Well, we get in the cab and he tells me to put a blindfold on - my first response was, it will ruin my hair and I will get car sick (I never get car sick except in a NYC cab!) and it was such a weird feeling to be blindfolded in a cab!!!
We got out of the cab and he leaves me on the sidewalk and is taking pictures of me with the blindofld on. I felt like such a moron. lol Then he led me to a building and through a revolving door into an elevator. (on a scale of 1 to 10 marcus gets a -14 as a seeing eye dog...I tripped on carpeting almost fell into the elevator, etc) While I was in the elevator, I knew we were going up high because my ears were popping and I kept asking him where we were going and of course, other people were in the elevator giggling at me - so embarrassing!!!!
When the elevator stopped and we got out it obviously sounded like a restaurant...
I'm out of the elevator, dying to know what's going on and Marcus places me against a wall and takes my coat from me telling me to stand and wait for him for a minute. He then actually has the gall to leave me standing there looking like a fool and takes another picture and then apparently he went to talk to the maitre'd
He eventually guided me to our table and told me to take off the blindfold and this is what I opened my eyes to....both of us cried immediately!!!! Such an amazing surprise and an awesome way for us to start the rest of our lives together!
OF COURSE - - - I SAID YES!!!!
Some pictures of Marcus and I after the "big question". I must be honest in saying I barely remember what we ate or if the food was any good, etc. I was beaming and so excited that nothing else really mattered!
The views from our table! Absolutely amazing! We were sitting on the 65th floor of 30 Rock. It is the only restaurant that sits that high up in the city. Not the most clear pictures, but you get the idea!
A fuzzy Empire State Building
Because I was blindfolded on the way p to the restaurant, I did not get to see how beautiful the hallways or lobbies were. So, on our way out after dinner, I was amazed at how beautiful everything was and Marcus was laughing because he also forgot that I was blindfolded all the way up to dinner. Here are some pics of the lobby, elevators, etc. Cheesy I know.
The future Mrl. and Mrs. DeCarvalho!
A picture of me in the lobby of 30Rcok. This is where all the NBC studios are (ie all the shows are filmed). Marcus and I love watching Brian Williams on the NBC nightly news so I had Marcus take a picture of me and Brian - haha
This fountain is really very neat - it is all electric and was installed by some European company for the winter time in NYC. They did this special on the Today Show about it (I love the Today show and watch it every morning at the gym!)
A few "after engagement" pictures of a party that we had at our place Friday night to celebrate with our friends. We celebrated our engagement and Marcus and Josh's residency placements.
Marcus' cool guy smile...
Me before I put my "party attire" on.
A little cake I bought on my way home from work to celebrate the occassions.

25 mile Saturday...
This weekend was my longest run of my training season. I was scheduled to do 23miles but was feeling so great that I pushed it to 25miles! Yes folks, that's right, I ran one mile short of a full marathon. My legs actually feel great today considering. I have the typical soreness in the bellies of the big muscles but nothing severe or extreme. I would say that I am fit to run the full marathon a month from now.
It's so great to watch your body learn and train to do the race...I started off having my long weekend runs at 7miles and now, here I am running 25miles! Very cool accomplishment and very neat to know that I ran more yesterday than some people drove yesterday haha. More importantly, it is great to know that I might break my time from the past four years, we'll see. Either way, most people say I'm crazy for doing this many miles and on most days I would agree with you but the Dana Farber cancer cause is a great one and it makes all the craziness and pain in the muscles subside.
