(August 12, 2007)
Danny and I were celebrating our relationship and visited the Getty Villa and Getty Center, ending with a dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant in West Hollywood. Danny thought it would be fun to see a meteor shower as it would be perfect conditions (that night just so happened to be a New Moon with no light in the sky to give the best optimal view of the shower) and would be my very first time to see a shooting star!
Arriving to our viewing site at midnight, Danny was studying the Star Finder Planisphere to show me the various constellations visible that night. The meteor shower was amazing! With no moonlight in the sky and the city lights so far away from the area, the stars were visable at its best! The meteors were shooting nonestop and were enormous!
It was then that Danny got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! (Since most people know the details of his proposal, I won't repeat it again here!) It was completely unexpected and perfect. We will now make it a yearly event to see the Perseids and remember that special night.

So, everyone, that is why shooting stars holds an important meaning to us and the reason for our blog site name! We actually went to our proposal site last night and tried to view the meteor shower, but it was just too cloudy! At least we saw one star, but we didn't know the name, haha! Oh well...there's always next year!
