Will and I have been together for about four and a half years, but it had been years since we had taken a vacation with just the two of us, no family members or friends, and absolutely no work.
We decided in 2014 to save up all of our vacation time for a full two weeks going "off the grid" to a private ecological-friendly home called a Palapa (meaning a house without walls) south of Puerto Vallarta (Mexico) that faced the ocean and was only accessible by water taxi. No traditional power source, no cell phones, no computers, no TV, and no walls in our rental made for the vacation of a lifetime!
We traveled to other towns, learned to kayak, zip lined through the jungle, went parasailing, hiked, tasted tequila, haggled for fish in Spanish, and took hundreds of pictures of iguanas and the neighboring creatures we encountered.
Halfway through the adventure (March 25th) was my 30th birthday, which was not really one I was looking forward to, we were watching one of the stunning sunsets on our Palapa's private deck while I read a book on the eve of my birthday and Will got up to go inside the Palapa.
He turned off his portable speakers, which had been blasting a track from Ludacris (we're both big fans), and I didn't think anything of it, since the speakers would fade in-and-out on occasion. All of a sudden, he came up behind my chaise lounge on the deck and said, "Hey Hillary, I have a question for you." I said, "What's up?" and looked over to see the most beautiful ring I've ever seen and Will, still behind me, on one knee. "Will you marry me?" he said.
At this point, I half-blacked out/half-burst into tears for a couple of minutes until I could finally say, "Yes!" I couldn't imagine a more perfect engagement: The last night of my 20s became my first night as an engaged woman, and my first full day of being 30 became our first full day as an engaged couple. What a relief! We are now planning a August 8, 2016 wedding in Colorado, and are so excited to start married life together!

Although now privately owned (by a Stewart), Castle Stalker once belonged to the "Stewart's" of Appin.
– is believed originally to have been the site of a Fortalice (a small fortified building) belonging to the MacDougalls when they were Lords of Lorn, and built around 1320. The MacDougalls lost their title after their defeat by King Bruce at Brander Pass in 1308 but regained it for a period after 1328. In about 1388 the Lordship of Lorn passed to the Stewarts, the lands including Castle Stalker.
Young Donald became renowned for his strength and was known as “Donald of the Hammers” – in the Gaelic “Donald nan Ord” – as he could wield a blacksmith’s hammer in each hand with ease.
In 1544 he raised the Stewarts of Appin and went to Dunstaffnage where they killed nine Campbells in revenge for the murder of his Father. Donald nan Ord also led the Stewarts at the Battle of Pinkie on the 10th September 1547. He died in 1607 and is buried on Lismore where his faithful henchman, a Carmichael, also lies buried.
Although I have been a steady customer of Williams for more years than I care to revel here, I'd forgotten all about the Artisan Market BUT, this Summer Stewart's Much A Dough About Muffin had the pleasure of (re)discovering the Williams-Sonoma's Artisan Market and even better we were offered the opportunity to participate.
We have been attending now each month since June, and in doing so we have met some of the nicest, fun people, some who work at Williams-Sonoma, some were other invited vendors and the the customers, well, we would be hard pressed to find a more supportive, interested and again fun group of people ~
For readers in Central Indiana there is a great chance Saturday (Jan. 26) to meet one of the real icons of Indiana wine. If that was posed in the form of a question many would rattle off the names of Oliver, Easley, Huber, or Thomas – and they would be right.
But Dr. Richard Vine, Purdue University Professor of Enology, Emeritus, deserves to have his name along side those winery pioneers. He helped guide and steer the Indiana wine industry for decades.
Dr. Vine, and you have to love the irony of his last name, has a new book titled “The Curious World of Wine.” It’s a collection of stories, facts, and colorful tales.
He will be selling and signing copies of his book from 2-4 p.m. at Mass Ave. Wine Shop in Indianapolis. You can stop in buy a book, get it signed and pick up a bottle or two from old friend Jill Ditmire’s “Wall of Wine.”
My boyfriend told me he wanted to take me to see my favorite performer, Celine Dion, at Caesars Palace and I was so exited! I have always loved her so I knew this was going to be a special night. Once we got to the show, they separated us into a special line and had us wait. I kept asking “why are they making us wait longer than the other people?” Nick told me to be patient so, reluctantly, I waited.
Then they walked up to our line and announced “meet and greets are this way” and I was beaming with excitement!! I was so excited that he had planned this surprise. They took us back and told us we only had 30 seconds with her when we meet her. I was freaking out saying “omg what are you going to say?! 30 seconds is so short what should we say?!”
Then, when it was finally our turn to meet her (he had set it up so that we were the last ones to meet her), we walked up to pose for a picture with her and the next thing I know, Nick was down on one knee and Celine was just as shocked as I was!!
I couldn’t get any words out and I was just staring with a shocked face. She backed away to “hide” in the curtain behind us and said “if you don’t say yes, I will!”
Then I grabbed Nicks face and kissed him. He put the ring on my finger and Celine wished us a long and happy marriage just like she had.
I WAS ELATED!! Then we sat through her show (I could barely sit still) and when it was over Nick said we should get some gelato before heading home. I was on cloud 9. We walked toward the gelato place in Caesars and there they all were! All of my family, his family and our friends (34 people) waiting with balloons and flowers to surprise us!!
It was more perfect than anything I had ever dreamed. Then. As if that weren’t enough, Nick and my parents had arranged a suite at Caesars for me and my friends to all sleep over that night to continue celebrating!! Nick’s proposal was something out of movie and there’s nothing more I could ever ask for!!
